fireng SG

wow so many ppl reply, i graduated from SIM, foreign degree, degree in accounting and finance. lol call me to sign on, if i want to sign on , i rather sign on as teacher rather than in military. casino jobs i apply alr, but still no call from them telling me to go for interview. Tks for all ur comments. Hope more comments coming in.:)

I also applied for casino job and didn't get selected.

I got a diploma in accounting & finance from a local polytechnic.

Its not difficult to find a job if you are accounting trained with no experience.

Do a search on the web for a list of accounting firms than call/email them to ask for job vacancies.

Most small accounting firms are willing to employ fresh graduates.

Once you gain the experience than move on to a find a better job

TS, how about giving tuition for the time being. if you do not mind low pay, you can work at retail and travel agencies, they are always hiring. have you visited any employment agencies so far? try to visit all of them. if u do not mind, you can try to be financial advisor or insurance?

I know its a bad time to graduate now, but hang in there, cos the recession is just over. next year 2010 will be better than 2009 and 2011 will be better than 2010. now is almost year end, quite difficult to find jobs, but continue to look for them even if you are not successful. think of it, this is the first hardship and difficulties you have encountered so far. if this period does not kill you, it will make you stronger. This period of difficulty will make you stronger and stand you in good stead. after all, experience is a good teacher.

I myself is also no better, but at least I have a job. my job and pay is not fantastic, but no choice, still have to work till the economy improve next year. once the economy improve next year, you will find plenty of jobs and unemployment rate to go down.

Although I am a grad with years of experiences, I am getting the pay of a fresh grad and the work of management support officer. the job I am doing now is more of clerical and I have to eat humble pie. Sometimes I am wondering why I even want to take on the job, but I tell myself, its only for the time being. 2010 will be a better year and I will be looking for a better paying job next year. for the time being, I just put up and do something I have never done before in my career. even my colleagues said my position does not commensurate with my experience and qualifications. I just shrugged it away, saying this is only for the time being.

ya what to do. the entry requirement is A levels and yet I applied and got the job. I have thought of not accepting it initially, but if I dun, I dunno when I will get a job, esp when it is year end liao, more difficult to find a job now. I intend to work first and then quit next year, say after chinese new year. hopefully by then the economy is much much better than now and plenty of jobs in 2010. fingers crossed.

if you are me, what will you have done? if quit this company, have to serve 2 months or pay 2 months pay. lucky this pay is not high, I can work for 1 month for free and then pay 1 month of pay to them.

ahh, so you are a grad in acc and finance. I always find this line funny or strange - oxymoron.

There are so many ads in the papers for acc related jobs but so few grads can get hired! I wonder why!

erm you are MSO grade 4 is it?

Cos I heard if degree holder be MSO they will start at a higher grade like say MSO grade 4.

Whereas diploma or A level usually start with MSO grade 6 unless they got lots of experience than maybe start with MSO grade 5.

So your salary is still higher than diploma/A level holder..

Btw this is govt job the benefits better than pte sector espically SME..

Maybe you might want to consider work long in the govt sector..can get promoted etc than get pay increment..

Btw, you leave the pte sch to join govt sector as MSO. Did you get a pay cut or pay increment?

Hmm. Is this job paying your less or more than the pte sch?

Actually you won't know what will happen in the job..it might be a blessing in disguise..

Maybe after 3 months probation you get pay increment leh?

Maybe few months later your boss resign and you take over him and get pay increment too leh?

1700 is too low for a degree holder even without experience. You should request at least 2k

Franceso Totti SG

yes thats right. now is employer's world, employer taking advantage for the economic situation now, and offer pay like 1.6k for fresh grad. last time my ex colleague took on job of 1.5k in 2002, as sg was recovering from the 2001 economic crisis and 9-11.
