NUS Career Fair

Am attending the annual career fair held at NUS tomorrow and on Friday.

Have heard many rumours about some of the companies... that they are only there simply to be present, not hiring. Yes, for example Credit Suisse and Chartered. They have retrenched people, why would they hire fresh graduates?

However I think the other side of the coin is because they need to retrench older/under-performing workers, while needing fresh grads who have the energy, drive and enthusiasm to pick up more skills (and lower pay).

On the other hand, a quick check on some companies' websites show that they have NIL vacancies or job openings. Does it represent anything?

But I'm still staying pretty optimistic. Good luck to all graduating students! :)
