Tertiary Attachment ~~

c2on2 SG

Hello people,

i applied for my attachment at the big 4 accounting firms and cant secure even a chance to go for an interview..
i guess soon i will be sent to some small company for my attachment.

i am currently a undergrad at a local uni.

i am rather demoralised now..

i have no ecas, no fancy grades. in fact my grades are below sch average.

i am worried for my future becos i cant seem to differentiate among my peers.
some frens whom i feel are undeserving actually made it to interviews and being hired. life is indeed unfair...

firstly, you are not even in dean's list. of cse the firms will not accept u. There are dean list student applying, why will they want to compromise for the lower graders?

Secondly, you know you cant differentiate yourself from the norm. Do something. No good grades, but at least your CCAs must be quite ok to impress others on your non-academic skills mah..

Go join something now..dun be demoralise. Always rem that no matter how bad u think you are, there will always be some1 worse than you.. Wink

IA is small thing. Next time after you graduate, to secure a good job will be the goal to look forward to. Joining a small firm for IA doesnt mean anything too. Its always good to gain experience first...

hey, just to let you know the world is not equal anyway, 5 fingers on your hand are not equal either. it's true uni give priority to good students going for GIP or good companies.

anyway i believe "Destiny lies in your own hand", you can change your sucky life by proving you are job-training wise, and not academic smart. Very Happy

Sometimes its better to stay low profile. When something goes wrong, not many want to stand up and go:"I did it!" Laughing

If you work for an employer, it's the employer who determines your pay. If you work for yourself, it's you who determines your pay.

it's juz an attachment.

no matter where u will be attached to, juz make the best out of it ya.

u dun have to be in a big accounting firm to be successful.

hey..this all depends on luck and ur location..my classmates who got posted to the big 4 weren't exactly the cream of the crops..

anyway what makes u think that you'll learn more in the big 4?interns will most probaly be given all the "sai kang"...

its how much u learn during ur attachment period that really counts..
