I guess I’ve done pretty okay for my job hunt despite this bad economy downturn

For more job related information, you might want to take a look at Career Compass by MOM. It gives a relatively good generic description of an occupation, nature of work, earning, job outlook and etc.

What Color is your Parachute by Richard N. Bolles is a job-hunt, career changing guide book that you might want to take a look it. It offers really good advise and helps you in finding your dream career. It helps you to identify your desired career, and points you in the right direction.

Last of all, congrats to those who have landed themselves a job and good luck for your future endeavors . I too have found myself something … and I really hope that I will be able to do well there *cross fingers*

*ps. dont be put down by people who say that you cant do this, can do that, shouldnt dream too much, or you are gona be a lousy employee ..etc.. keep trying and prove those idiots wrong !

Congrats to NUS Graduating Class of 2009 !

May Everyone Have a Bright Future Ahead ( despite the bad economy :S )
