DISCRIMINATION? GRADUATE WITH NO EXPERIENCE, HOW EASY?

[Marlowe]

there's a well-known quote that the hardest working and best-prepared tend to have the best luck. in other words, most of what you achieve in life is based upon the amount of effort you put into it.

for the most part, if you really want something in life and are willing to REALLY put in the work and sacrifice, you will get it.

try to tap into networking opportunities, talk to recruiters, go to big companies and small companies, and just work your butt off, and something will happen. might not be in a week, but if you work harder than the other guy, good things will happen to you. good luck.

heyup peeps,

I just wanted to add something to this post. My friend who is a fresh graduate from one of the uni in Australia (in fact he just graduated 2 months ago). No prior experience, good marks (but not perfect) is now working in Sg (as expat). I still dont know why he chose Sg while he can have his career in Australia. But I leave that decision to his discretion as long as he keep in contact with us .

In getting the job all he had to do was go into the company website and apply for it there (he did apply to many companies, not only Sg though).

In short I have to agree with kyshine that Luck is really an important part of all. Other than of course networking with other people... but somehow luck beats it all... hahaha

So I dont think comparing between local graduate and foreign graduate is the main issue. I think its about the company whether they want to hire you as a foreigner or not. Like eagle said its not a hassle applying for EP.
