LET'S GET YOU HIRED!
DECIDING YOUR CAREER CHOICE
Transitioning from Student to Young Professional If you find yourself dreading life after graduation due to the uncertainty, have no fear. Shiffa Aziz shares a few ways you can deal with leaving your university life behind.

hange is never easy. We all experience it, as change is inevitable. During this period of uncertainty, you may be overwhelmed by the pressure of becoming a working adult. Adding on to that pressure is the emergence of the New Normal, caused by the COVID-19 situation. Do not despair, we’re here to help you with this transition.
MANAGE YOUR MONEY Ah, personal finance and budgeting. It’s every college student’s least favourite item of discussion. However, if you don’t want to be about that #brokelife anymore, then it is a good idea to start planning. Pop quiz: As a working adult, you will be receiving your pay check at the end of each month. Do you a) spend it all at once; or b) put some aside? Let’s hope your answer was ‘b’, because you will have bills to pay, debts to settle, and savings to keep for the future. If you’re guilty of impulse buying, then it’s time to take matters seriously and control your spending habits. Retail therapy can only feel so good until you realise your pockets have run dry.
