The right Career

As you get to know yourself, you need to ask this big question, "What do I really want in my life?" Setting the mission, vision and goals do not only apply to schools or companies, it can also apply to you as an individual.

A happy person is someone who could meet their needs and this includes the aspiration. Unless you know what you want to achieve in life, you will not have a clear mind to explore the right career for you.

So what is the right career?

A right career is a career you love - it not only provides for you and your family financially it keeps your passion burning.

A right career is determined by you and will provide you with growth and prospects in your endeavor. Just liked a good game played, a right career is more than a job alone.

Find Job Opportunity

The question every fresh graduate ask is "How can I find my first job?"

To find job opportunity is to understand how the employers post their job offer and how applicants look at the job posting.

From the chart above, we can clearly see that applicants can find job posting through the internet and newspaper if they want to contact the employers directly.

It is interesting to know most companies do not use only the newspaper advertisement to get the right candidate due to high cost and this method may not always be effective. Therefore, employers would still go to the employment agency to find the right talent.

As a candidate, you can first browse through the newspaper than search the web. Alternatively, you can submit your resume to the employment agency where the consultant will do the job matching professionally. Even so, with this means and the many job vacancies, applicants still face problem when being asked about relevant work experiences.

The solution here is to go for Internship

There is no doubt internship plays an important role to your career enhancement, yet it is never enough for the hosts to find their internship based on their own accord. One of the reasons being the hosts are coming fresh from Shatec Institutes therefore, their contact with the respective industry player is very limited.

Because of this, Shatec Institutes has collaborated with Jobs Culture to help the hosts to find internship and establish their career path. With this collaboration, you are assured that your internship is well taken care by our Career Advisors, who will lead you to the right internship.

Beside internship opportunities, Jobs Culture will give you the support for your future career through our established network with the industry partners, where we are committed to help our client to find their Occu-passion.
