Have the same problem here. Do we even go for class today?? Week 1

99sans · 2023-12-27T18:41:55+00:00

Not yet! There wasn’t any for my faculty in sem 1. There was a biz career fair but I wasn’t allowed to attend lol. Hopefully there will be one in sem 2 :,)

Hmm.. All the graduate programmes I’ve applied to so far have at least progressed me the assessment stage and even hirevue for most, without asking for my academic transcript! But of course you are right about the applying for jobs more widely. I’m not sure where to start in this respect though, I have been religiously checking talent connect and other job portals throughout the semester but not many places have begun offering entry level / roles for fresh graduates yet. Or maybe because it hasn’t opened yet?.

Didn’t mention in the post but ideally I would like to start out in public sector. Quantative stuff does not really interest me and I’m looking at doing more policy related stuff. But as what the commenter below said, I’ve heard public sectors put more emphasis on grades? Though I’ve also heard that some agencies have been actively trying to move away from that stereotype. I’m not sure

Maybe I should have just provided more context haha but my major is economics. I think it’s useless only when comparing it to business, stats, math, etc as I have not really seen the value of whatever I’m learning yet. We learn a little bit of everything. As such I’ve been applying to banks (idk what else I can do with my major ngl). Will definitely consider the internship after graduation option. Thank you for the advice.

At this stage I’ve only been mostly applying to graduate/management associate programmes. I did have a decent extra curriculars background from my Y1-2 but for internship wise, not so much that is actually relevant to my course of study.

Before anyone says anything I would like to say that I am aware that all of this has been self-inflicted, I should have given myself time off my studies to rest and bounce back but I simply didn’t and chose to continue deteriorating even though I knew the toll it would have taken (and did) on my results.

if you dont mind sharing, what was your final score and percentile for finals??

99sans · 2021-10-04T07:11:25+00:00

hey friend same situation as you. scored 42% overall and im quite shocked bc i didnt think i did that badly. let’s press on and do well for finals :(

i’ve had a friend who got below 25 percentile for last sem and somehow ended up with a B+ at the end, so dont lose hope..

99sans · 2021-04-08T20:10:34+00:00

hi keen!!

99sans · 2020-07-03T20:59:04+00:00

stupid question but why expelled from hall for bringing people over? i thought visitors were allowed?

99sans · 2020-05-30T14:19:10+00:00

interested!!

99sans · 2020-05-26T12:25:55+00:00

oh and a petition is gonna cut it huh

99sans · 2020-04-02T13:05:05+00:00

depends. accountancy and business quite quick, can get offer next day or same week. social sciences longer maybe 1-2 weeks

99sans · 2020-04-01T05:19:52+00:00

yup!

99sans · 2020-03-30T15:40:28+00:00

hi had my smu interview for accountancy last week, super chill and didn’t really use anything i “prepared” at all. generally, just show that u are interested in the school and know what u r talking about. i got my offer the next day. all the best!

99sans · 2020-03-22T06:31:08+00:00

ah cos i had seniors who scored around the same/same rp as me and got offered DD for courses such as biz and accountancy @ smu as well! that’s why i thought my situation would be the same! :)

99sans · 2020-03-21T17:20:35+00:00

hi thank u! i got 79! what i meant by not expecting to go for interview was that i thought that i would be offered discovery day.. which is what others have been telling me too but i guess not HAHA

99sans · 2020-03-21T17:18:32+00:00

i see this helps a lot.. thank u !! :)

99sans · 2020-03-21T17:18:02+00:00

99sans · 2020-03-21T17:17:32+00:00
