Choosing the right job Job Searching I'm currently searching for a company to work in when I graduate...it is a culture to try to secure a job before one graduates. At least in local unis. I'm in my last semester now, so I have to look for one. Am enjoying the search process. =) below are some of the companies I will be interested in sending out my resume to. I need to take a professional IC photo, then I'm all set to send out my resume. Facilities management in the following companies (Degree related jobs that interests me) 1. Resort World Sentosa 2. Marina Bay Sands 3. EM Services 4. UGL-Premas Copywriting and Account Management in the following companies (PR/Advertising Industry is what I hope to venture in out of personal interest) 5. Terrapinn 6. Saatchi & Saatchi (Saatchi LAB) 7. Ogilvy & Mathers 8. Dreamworks I want to thank God for placing friends in my life who are there to share valuable advice. I wanna especially thank Miaoz for the chat over the phone. I also found out that one of my JC classmates is doing copywriting! She is currently working in Saatchi LAB. Woohoo! My area of interests can be more specifically said as Copywriting and Brand management job scopes under the PR/Advertising industry...so I really thank God for friends who have useful experiences to share with me. There are pros and cons in different industries, so I must choose carefully. I want a good work environment. Money is not primary incentive for me to join a company. Not that it isn't important, I mean like we got to survive also right? Lol. It's just that $$$ isn't the MOST important. I can manage with less-than-my-peers kind of pay as long as I'm doing something I am passionate about. I think the crucial factor in my job is that it should allow me room to release & apply creativity into work. Very important to me. That's the reason why I am dying to be in the advertising/PR industry. It gives me that satisfaction when I manage a brand from conceptualizing to materializing it. As for expectation for $$$, I can be described as having a high floor, but low ceiling. Hahaha. As long as I get $2000 and above, I'm happy. If I don't get $2500 (average fresh graduate pay) but I'm doing something I love very much, no complaints. What's more important is the company's corporate culture, ethics and environment. I don't want to just 'like' my job. I want it to offer challenges to me which I must be passionate to take on. But ultimately, I don't want it to be a self-centred decision although I have certain expectations of the job. I don't want my job to just be a 'job'. I want it to be a POSITION. A place of influence. A place where impacting lives is possible. I've written alot about my career expectations in this post haha. I'm really excited for what the future has in store for me.
