CAREER CONNECT PREPARES YOU
A Message for Our Students

he past two years have been far from normal. The impact of Covid-19 has touched so many aspects of our lives, including the way we work and play. Economies have been shaken up, and many industry sectors have crashed. Yet there are quite a number that have thrived and, in fact, boomed during these strange times. Many have found themselves in unchartered waters, and have struggled to find their way. Yet there are also many who have emerged stronger and with clearer direction of what they want to do with their lives. We are also transforming at SIM, and we are confident that we will emerge better than ever. Our vision is to empower people and organisations to learn and thrive across life stages. To that end, we at the Learner Advisory and Career Centre (LACC) are continuously reinventing ourselves to better serve all our learners – whether they are undergraduates, Alumni or Professionals, Managers and Executives (PMEs), through our end-to-end services from profiling, coaching, career development and career exploration, through to job placements. In this SIM Career Guide 2022, we cover a broad range of topics from how we at LACC can help you prepare for that dream job, to how to discover your career options and how to market yourself to employers. We have also provided a number of articles where we show you how to thrive in the new normal, such as preparing for a video interview, working from home effectively and taking care of your mental health and wellness. We hope you will enjoy this issue, and we look forward to connecting with you at LACC.
