Heartiest congratulations to the Class of
2017. You will now step into a world where lunch costs more than
school canteen food. A world where a mistake you make in the work
you do cost you more than just a few deducted marks. So, where does
one start?
Here are 10 great places that are hiring with
openings for fresh graduates!
With the opening of the Apple flagship store
in Singapore, there are plenty of openings in their retail,
customer support, as well as corporate functions. Working for one
of the world’s largest and influential companies isn’t a bad way to
start one’s career. Check out their careers page and see if you
want to be an Apple Expert or Apple Genius.
With operations across the world in Asia
Pacific (including Australia), Europe, the United States and the
Middle East, the Singtel Group is much more than a local telco.
Openings in various departments like marketing, data analytics and
information communication. Fresh graduates with no experience can
look at broadcast
operations or customer
service.
Hospitals don’t just hire doctors and nurses.
There are a whole team of people who ensure the timely delivery of
professional care to patients, including allied health
professionals, research/lab work, and administration – many of
which have openings for fresh graduates.
National Trade
Unions Congress is a national confederation of trade
unions and professional associations across various sectors in
Singapore. In their continued development and growth, they are
hiring fresh graduates to positions in youth
development and industrial
relations.
After graduating from school, the last place
you might want to go is to spend the next few years in yet another
tertiary institution. You might change your mind if any of these
positions in National University of Singapore that are open to
fresh graduates interest you in the areas of IT support, various
department executives, and management support.
Relax, we’re not saying you should sign-on to
be a regular military personnel. The Ministry of Defence are always
on the lookout for talented people to join their ranks as a DXO, or
Defence eXecutive Officer. You get to do policy, organizational
development, IT, finance for one of the largest organisations in
Singapore.
ST Engineering has many subsidiaries,
including an aerospace arm. Thus, they provide a wide range of job
opportunities, including ones for fresh graduates. For those who
are not in a technical field, they also have openings in
non-engineering areas like marketing.
This portal provides listings to open
positions across the government departments. For fresh graduates,
bookmark the page, because from time to time, positions and
internship opportunities do pop up. These are as varied as
an estate
executive for HDB, allied
educator for the MOE, and licensing
officer with the NEA.
Twitter has much of its Asia-Pacific
operations in Singapore and are hiring quite aggressively. Lots of
these are in the areas of sales and partnerships, but its worth it
to drop by once in a while to take a look.
Technically, this isn’t a “company”, but if
large corporations or organisations aren’t your thing, startups do
offer plenty of opportunities for the fresh graduate with the right
skillset and personality, even if experience or qualifications
might not be on point.
