Dear fellow UOL-ian

Don't make the rest of your schoolmates (incl the non uol folks at sim) look dumb because of your lack of knowledge on recruitment which can be acquired if u had put in effort to research, spoken to career coaches in school or even attend talks

and your "cluelessness" on the financial industry is why many of us face an image problem even though we are much more career-minded and proactive than u

please balik kampong

LOL!

Foreigners can do internships in Singapore, be it poly or local uni, as long as the company doesn't specify that the opening is only for Singaporeans. (This rarely happens)

Asking for advice, not advise.

I appreciate your advice, not advise

Any advice? Not advise

I am asking for advice, not advise

Advice is a noun. It means a suggestion for a beneficial course of action. Advise is a verb. It means to give advice.

why would companies hire a foreigner with low grades and no experience, and worse still no knowledge of the industry and no research skills?

btw, my company is filled with foreign interns... so yeah. you're gonna have a hard time explaining why you have no internship experience.

Foreignr, pte uni, low grades, zero internship and want to join a bank. I suggest you start off selling credit cards or bancassurance at te branches, otherwise you are just wasting time. Even the most condem backoffice dept in a bank is not that desperate to hire you.
