A “date” with your Career Coach

In 2020, about 475 appointments were made by students to visit their career coaches. That is equivalent to one student visiting the Career Development Centre on a daily basis. Beyond the usual resume critique or mock interview sessions, we encourage you to collaborate with the career coach to tap on his/her industry insights and strategies to kickstart your career planning. Still thinking if you should make a date with your career coach? It is time to shake off the thoughts that only “needy” students use the services at Career Development Centre.

Career Resources

This section is packed with useful tips and documents if you need a final check or quick tips for your upcoming job or internship application and interview. For example, find out how to answer “Tell me about yourself” in a job interview. We have uploaded the SUTD sample cover letter and resume here. Simply download it and edit! Yes, it is in Microsoft Word document. However, remember, do not copy from the sample, or you may end up sending one that is almost similar to your peers. When you write your resume, do not forget to apply the AAA (Action, Amplify & Achievement) format that you have learnt in UPOP!

Mock Interview

Document Library

It is increasingly popular for companies to run their first-round interview online through platforms such as HireVue. Do get yourself familiar and comfortable through using the Mock Interview feature in GEMS to practise online interview for different job positions. What is useful about this feature is that you can send it to anyone (including your friends/parents) and get them to provide feedback on your performance!

Career Finder & Explorer

Have you ever wondered why you need more energy in doing something over others? This is because we are all wired differently as our interests and values get shaped through our experiences. Career Finder helps you to identify your personality, which could give you a head start in deciding your career choice. Based on Holland’s Theory of Career Choice, you get to know where your personalities lie in the six areas; Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising or Conventional.
