If you are in the penultimate or final year of your ITE, polytechnic or university education, you would most likely be considering further studies, or looking for internship/job opportunities.

​

If you intend to further your studies, you may want to review whether to continue the course of study that you have been doing, or switch to another course for the next few years. Midas Compass will be able to advise and guide you in making the best decision for you and your further studies with our Education Consultation services in the 'Services' link.

 

If you are looking for internship/job opportunities, internship gives you a sneak preview about the job and working life while a job is the start of you career journey. You will want to embark on the journey with a clear idea on the types of jobs and companies that you are suitable for so that you can reduce the likelihood of going into wrong jobs and companies, or hop from job to job and risk being perceived as a job hopper by potential employers and recruiters. Knowing yourself well and being able to convince the potential employers/recruiters that you are suitable for the jobs and companies are important steps towards increasing your chances in securing a successful and sustainable future in life.

​

Some fresh graduates may think that they can have the luxury of time to pick the 'perfect' job or take the first few years moving around different types of unrelated jobs to explore what they like to do. However, time is precious and you may risk lagging behind your peers in terms of career progression by the time you finally realise which job you want to because you are less likely to have picked up the relevant competencies and experience during the years that you are 'lost'. Your resume will also likely pop up with more doubts for potential employers and recruiters to question about your motivation, stability and how likely you will stay with the company in the event if you are hired. In the working world, time is equivalent to money and organisations will prefer to hire candidates who are clear about themselves and what they want in their careers. 

​

It is important for you to understand yourself well first to pick the suitable job and company, prepare your resume and hone your interview skills to increase your chances in landing on that right job with the right company.
