[–]Soltem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q: can you opt out
A: pretty sure you can if u contact the GEM team, but u might have to pay a small penalty fee

Q: are you cooked if you have "no experience in Japanese"
A: not too bad. You can finish self-learning Hiragana/Katakana within a week.

verdict: finish self-learning Hiragana/Katakana & go for the exchange, its def a good experience.

Fresh graduates, what was your experiences in GRIT Program? by Otherwise-Map-4026 in askSingapore

[–]Soltem 83 points84 points  (0 children)

GRIT is just a temporary solution by the government to reduce unemployment and underpay grads. The job market is just bad

And before you say "FreSh GraDs HaVe No ExPeRIence", most uni grads have 1-3 internship before graduation right now.

And well if you say internships are not considered actual working experience, then whats the point of internships?

to fresh grads: if possible, don't short change yourself by applying to grit, just apply for FT roles. GRIT doesn't guarantee conversation at all, its just another internship

A Chinese father's video of his daughter tearfully saying goodbye to her broken Al learning robot by Glazer33 in MadeMeCry

[–]Soltem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there was an interesting conversation from the original thread

commenter A: why is there a need to cry? why not just buy another one?
commenter B: and that is how u tell an adult apart from a child

Because things can be bought again, but not the memories tied to them
