If you are not comfortable with talking to your uni, you may wish to seek advice from wda agencies, caliberlink etc. ://.wda.gov.sg/content/wdawebsite/L215-ContactUs01/L315D-ContactCareerCtr.html ://.caliberlink.gov.sg/content/cetblog/web/for-candidate/our-services/career-coaching-services.html |
I'm quite surprise a 2nd upper in Economics can only land up with 2 such unattractive offers. Is it from NUS or private uni?
If from NUS it means something is wrong with the way you apply jobs, write cv or attend interviews, might want to take a closer look at it. Usually with such good results should be able to get at least a perm analyst sort of role in public sector or big local company... |

Don't shortchange yourself .
If you go to ops at least join the graduate program and not some stupid contract role that are full of private uni grads. Then again if u need the money, just take it and look around. And do u realize what banking ops is about? |

I am also surprised how difficult it is and that private sector emphasis a lot on working experience then academic. Well that's the truth I have to accept. The 2nd offer is a perm position. I agree the 4 months contract is not a good position. But the perm? How do you define good job? Sales? Otherwise, in banks I think majority (>50%) are doing bank ops/back end+middle office. |

I don't know what sort of management graduate programs you have been applying, but if it's those global atas ones like P&G, Unilever, Shell, BCG, Mackenzie, IBM, Google, JPM, GS, BP etc. then I suggest you stop wasting time there, they are not interested in a 2nd class honors from a local uni. If it's local company graduate program or smaller mnc sort of entry level executive/analyst role, I am quite surprise that you cannot secure an offer in this space as your academics are actually quite good. If you cannot even get an offer in this space, likely something is wrong in the way you write your CV or the way you conduct yourself in the interview. Might want to seek professional advice on those. Most low level recruitment activities are outsourced to agents nowadays and that is nothing new. There will always be jobs for freshies as there are for experienced hires, your lack of success might be symptom of more deeper problem. It is not just employers only want experienced hires. Among a batch of new school leaver, probably <5% are management program type, the rest 95% is just normal hire - this does not explain your lack of success. Also I notice you keep mentioning about banks only. Only the real ivy elites or well connected can afford to pick and choose their employers because everyone is rushing to sign them up. You are in no position to do that now. Continue down this path and all you will get is all these unwanted leftover jobs. Don't waste your good academics for some low level banal operations job in a bank, you are just limiting your career growth by insisting on only joining a bank even if the offer sux. The sort of offers you are getting is usually taken up people with lousier results in a local uni or bought their degree from some private school. |
what other commitments do you have?
Quote:
Many people start work at 6.30, almost everyone starts by 9. What time will you be off? Will you get comp off for Saturday/PH? Take into account all these factors. Only family is a bigger commitment than a job. And you don't even have this perm job at the moment. Wake up and smell the coffee, bro!!! |

So what is TS's final decision? Contract is definitely not good in terms of benefits at least. And affect CV if you earn yourself too many contracts. |
