Hi, let me introuduce myself and my plan after my diploma course. I'm 24 years old and i have my plan after my diploma course. Once i have complete, i will be working for 2-4 years and i'm going to start saving for degree course. Firstly, I will try to apply as a air steward. Secondly, i will be working under that criteria of my diploma.
First before of my foundation studies, i have already thought of banking course. I change my mind and decided not to study in banking course. The diploma course will be starting on late june intake and i can't waste anymore time. I have already do my own research about buisness admin, logistic, marketing. I did thought of banking and finance, which i'm very weak in mathematics.
I'm wondering which field that i have the ability to start with. As i judge on myself and my friend think too, i'm a little bit quiet and not really outspoken, which i have been trying to talk and comunnicate more and beliving that i can make that happen and i have the mentality to survive long in a work place.
This is the 3 course i have to think critically since after my foundations studies. Any good advice for the diploma course or who work under this one of this field?
Thank you.
Global Diploma – Diploma in Commerce (Business Administration)
Global Diploma – Diploma in Commerce (Logistics & Supply Chain Management)
Global Diploma – Diploma in Commerce (Marketing Management)
Business Admin is a very general course and is very versatile. The downside is that there are many business grads. But there are thousands of businesses in Sg.
Logistics may be for quieter people who are meticulous and usually doing backend admin jobs. They are the steady workers who take instructions well. This is just a generalisation. My fren is in logistics and is not easy as clients want cheap service and high class service. And is subjected to global economy.
Marketing is usually for those who are very friendly and like to meet people and do sales and maybe some PR.
You may like to take some job questionnaire online or borrow some job survey books from library, or find out your personality type, eg. Myer Briggs Personality test.
Pls choose your sch carefully, as some smaller sch are only out there to make money and do not really care about their students. If the principal runs out of money in your eg. 2year course, he may run away to some ulu place, for smaller sch.
Thanks for the infomation =)
You try to talk to your uncles or aunties who are in business line, they will know more. Chk that the school is really registered with MOE. Some lecturers come in for one month, then disappear totally and a new one comes in for some sch.
You have to have some idea what kind of job you want to take, and what diploma is suitable. You may try temping at some business/logistics firms to see see look look.
BTW, my relative temp at a law firm and she saw so many divorcing wives crying.
Air steward you have to be good looking, friendly love to talk and do not mind being a high class waiter and mopping the plane toilets.
Yes! Thanks for the information once again, I’m clear with my personality but I will ask my friends opinion and relatives if they’re related to logistic or others business firm.
Lastly, I am sure that logistic is a backend business but does it consider a stable job for people who are lack of ideas and outspoken?
Logistics is usually quite backend - a lot of planning and admin and co-ordination. Good for quiet people who like to follow instructions and are meticulous and are hardworking workers. Pls ask others. Ask the course counselors too.
alright thanks! i will ask my course counselor.
