With the limited call-up for interviews that you may get, this is the best suggestion for job seekers. Show the interviewers that you are interested in the company and its business, read up their annual reports to understand facts and to identify its competitiveness.

At the end of the day, some hiring managers are not looking for the best degree or cert that you have. It is the attitude that matters.

And of course there would be people whom will be bashing SIM degrees saying its useless, take it with a pinch of salt and move on because you know that there are graduates whom are doing well out there. Good luck to all graduates!

Hopefully. I have tried almost every method i can think of, yet didnt received any calls up for interviews. Is internship a good choice instead? Seeing that experience is so important and every job also needs some experience.

It seems feasible, however you must be very careful in choosing your employer. Some SMEs employ interns just to do admin work which might not be related to your course of study.

Try to negotiate with the employer if they are willing to convert you into a perm staff if your performance is good (take it as a probation period).

Thanks for the advice! I'll try to explore that option too. Any SIM-RMIT students here graduating that are also still finding job too?

Pretty demoralising to see fresh local uni grads being parachuted to assistant manager position while I am still on a rolling renewable contract. Have been looking around for better prospects however results still points to account assistant roles.
From my experience, my words for aspiring students would be to work for experience before settling down on a degree. Really envy my poly mates who did not further their education doing well in engineering and IT field earning 3k/ mth woth their diploma and experience.
As for those currently pursuing their private degrees, it would be good to taper down your expectations in job scope, industry and salary. Degree holders are now like O levels. Instead be contented with life then being obessed with being successful. Although i do feel depressed seeing individuals doing well, overall I am rather contented with my life.

can i be bad enough to suggest you quite your job and find a better one? i'm drawing 1.9k as a diploma graduate.

Well all I can say is do not give up and just keep trying. You will get there eventually. For me i started out at a bank with 2k per month with just a diploma and now after 1.5 years decide to move on to another bank at 2.7k per month(still only with a diploma). Now deciding to take either SIM-RMIT or Kaplan Murdoch. At the end of the day, everything counts, your degree, luck, connections and experience.

All the best to all the fresh graduates looking for jobs, hope you all can find a decent job soon =)

Lol, an SIM dog talking thrash. Even Local grads will not stake their claim on a 5k paycheck so quickly because they know its not easy. Your probably still at a low 3 because your SIM and given how oblivious you are to reality, HR will never promote you to a 5k position for the next 20 years. Accept it
