SINGAPORE - University students are grabbing work stints in the hope of beefing up their portfolios and securing jobs after graduation.
In her three years in school, Nanyang Technological University (NTU) accountancy graduate Pek Jia Wei completed three internships. She received two full-time job offers after that. It s very common to take up more than one internship because you will lose out if you don t, she said. I came from a junior college background, so it s really important to have work experiences otherwise it s hard to give employers examples of your strengths.
Ms Pek, 21, accepted a management trainee position with Nestle and started working full time with the food and beverage company in July last year.
