A NUS graduate finding difficulty in getting a job here finally accepted the offer to work with Mandai Zoo. "What to do? It's better to work like this than earn nothing...," he mumbled to himself. So the IT grad started work acting as a monkey. He had to wear monkey suit and mask, chew nuts and eat bananas. He also had to climb trees and jump from one to another to attract visitors. The zoo has since enjoyed tremendous business and an increase in visitor arrrival. Even world leaders wanted to see the super 'smart' monkey of the world. Unfortunately, one day when he was jumping from the trees he slipped and fell into a crocodile pool! "Oh my God....I'm dying... now," he thought, as a hungry-looking crocodile swam steadily towards his direction. In the middle of his struggle, suddenly he heard a soft voice, "Don't be afraid my friend... I'm from NTU."

This 53 yo guy graduated from NUS Engineering course. Early every morning, he goes to the rubbish dump to scavenge for stuff. In 1993, he had a high flying job with a big company but he was retrenched in 2007. This gave him a big psychological shock. Although his company gave him a recommendation letter, he feels his reputation is tarnished and cannot find a job easily. Since retrenchment, his outlook on life has also changed and attention has shifted from career to family. He has 4 daughters aged between 5 to 9 and an elderly mother at home.

Since the part on the experience of the overseas grad is taken from TR, I will leave it to you to your judgments to its authenticity What is most interesting is the part highlighted in red Did not know the HK govt will go to the full extent of performing all the necessary checks to ensure employers only employ foreigners because they have got no choice to protect the interests of the locals there. Any bros familiar with HK or it's policies can advice if this is true?

"Q I graduated from the National University of Singapore with an arts degree, majoring in social work and psychology. I was a private tutor and social worker for a few years but had no interest in these fields. I have looked for jobs in other lines but I can't even get an administrative job as I have no experience. At 33, I think I'm too old for anyone to want to hire me even at the entry level. Being out of a job these past few years have made it tougher, as I have to explain why I can't get a job. Should I pursue another degree which is more practical, such as accountancy? Or are there alternatives for job-seekers like me?" A The faculty which you graduated from emphasises the development of critical thinking and analytical skills, thus preparing graduates for a variety of jobs in various sectors. Pursuing another degree now may not be the most effective way to secure a job. For starters, getting that job you want requires a well-written curriculum vitae (CV) that leads to a meeting. Therefore, focus on writing a good CV and brushing up on your communication skills for that interview. Sometimes, recommendations by friends or a headhunter can initiate the process, so it is useful to have a network of contacts. Highlight any accumulated experience and knowledge, list these and emphasise your achievements. From this list, look out for your strengths and think how they can be applied in today's job market. Your skills and experiences can be applied to many working situations. Most importantly, start with a can-do attitude. Eunice Chia-Lim Team Leader Energy & Infrastructure PeopleSearch http://www.asiaone.com/News/Education/Stor...124-103044.html What does majoring in psychology study in general? I'm asking cos I find it ironic since this grad who major in social work and psychology got little ppl & communication skill to land himself a job...for a few years. What do u think?
