Wah, I can't believe it's our last sem already and we are graduating.
I know right.- Time really flies.
- It seems like we just entered uni yesterday.
- Yah, sibei fast!
- You found your job already?
- Not really, been busy with school.
- I am looking at a career related to my field of study, psychology.
- But it seems that most of the psych-related jobs require masters.
- Wah, then how?
- Do masters?
- Not so soon ah. I would like to get some work experience first.
- Also need to earn some money to fund my studies.
- I found a few potential companies that hire fresh grad students at Career Fair.
- Nice! What kind of job? What companies?
- Hmm, there is the special needs field- Rainbow Centre, Pathlight School, that I am interested in. Or ministries like M-S-F, Ministry of Health.
- During Career Fair, I also learned more about becoming a Home Team Specialist with the Singapore Prisons Service too.
- I am also considering the statutory boards.
- What is M-S-F?
- Your choices are a lot, siah!
- It's the new name of M-C-Y-S. I think.
- But yah, I discovered so much more options!
- You leh?
- Wah, I didn't know the name change.
- I don't need. I am bonded to teach for 4 years after graduation.
- Oh yah, your scholarship right.
- Lucky siah!
- No need to worry about finding jobs.
- Okay lah, thank god that it's going to be something that I like.
- All the best for your job applications!
- Hope you get your dream job.
- Thanks!
