it's weird that they don't provide additional info so you can prepare for the interview. do you at least know if it's internal or external comms?

2nd upper in comms! i applied for hr. nope, they did not mention whether it's internal or external comms. the email only stated "assessing your job application for communications position"

just to clarify again, i've not been shortlisted for the interview yet.

So it turns out to be true. Those who study comms are "doomed" to work in comms position or media industry, and never in other corporate positions.

I'm not that keen on doing comms so I might turn down mindef's offer (assuming that I'm shortlisted).

Yep, i'm a comms degree holder as well and I find this to be true.

Tried applying to general 'degree in any discipline' type of jobs but no luck with those.

I beg to differ. I applied for several comms positions but have yet to get shortlisted for interviews. On the other hand I've gotten a few replies from those general 'degree in any discipline' type of jobs.
I'm beginning to think if it's because I lack real world working experience in comms. I'm currently working in a job unrelated to comms, and it's hard to make a switch back as they always state 'at least X year of working experience in comms' in the job requirements.
Anyone facing the same problem as me?

it's not just comms. HR jobs all require "at least X year of experience" too.

seems like no one wants to hire fresh grads. how am i supposed to gain experience then! it's so frustrating.
