Some Fresh Grads cant get jobs because they have unrealistic expectations!

[Isogallardo]

In Singapore, a freshie not being able to find job doesn’t mean that they would stay unemployed or doomed to non-permanent employment for the rest of their lives.

Singapore has only 1.8% unemployment. This means a good 98% of the citizens have jobs. Flip the newspapers and the job-seek websites – there are so many good jobs around. It is a fact that Singapore is an employee’s market, made more so by recent policy changes on foreign manpower.

From my observation, fresh graduates who claim they cannot find jobs – are victims of excessive options. I’ll be downright frank here – complaining there are no jobs here is akin to a girl, looking at her well-stocked closet and then lamenting there is nothing to wear.

I know there are many well-meaning sites offering advice, guidelines and statistics which makes a degree holder think he/she deserves a high position or salary. In the real world, no one “deserves” a high starting salary. It is always your skills and abilities that command what you get

Our incompetent ministers can get away with unrealistic expectations:

Paid millions despite 100% incompetence !

All I can say is, the quality of the PAP IB has been deteriorating steadily. All they do now is throw out platitudes, motherhood statements, bald lies and lame arguments. It's pathetic. A PSLE student can write a more convincing essay.
