What Do You Do? Planning For Your Career Planning your own career path can be a very daunting task whether you are a fresh graduate out of school, looking to switch careers in your ‘mid-life’ or simply outlining a long term career to see you through to retirement. While research and formal job reviews are helpful, there are other ways of charting your career: 1. Knowing Yourself Through Others Be prepared when the interviewer asks about your strengths and limitations. To understand yourself better, you can either start by completing a personality profiling analysis or ask your friends for their inputs. Candid conversations
2. Network, Network and Network There is an adage that goes “Organisations don’t hire people. People hire people.” Expand your network; the more people you know, the more they will think of you when they have a new job opening. Attend conferences,

Head or tails, Singapore wins! Recognising the potential of housewives— two sides of the same employment coin Many women sacrifice their careers when they start a family. Despite their potential to further contribute economically to society, these accomplished women often find themselves having difficulties getting re-employed after leaving the workforce. How can employers and mothers looking to return to work help each other? We look at both sides of the coin; giving employers a head start and encouraging mothers not to turn tail.
Giving employers a head start
Encouraging mothers not to turn tail
When sourcing for suitably qualified candidates for interviews, consider housewives as they are capable women and many look to rejoin the workforce once their children have started schooling. The one requirement many of them look for is a job that allows them to spend more time with their families.
Returning to the workforce after a few years may seem daunting, so some preparation is definitely required.
Review the job scope It will be unreasonable to expect a housewife looking for part-time work to fulfill a full-timer’s role. Instead, you can focus on making work more efficient. Differentiate between key tasks and unproductive duties, then include the value-added tasks in the job description and tweak or outsource the rest. Expect some initial inconveniences especially when you are so comfortable with having everything done in-house, but realise that they are not insurmountable.
Change your mind set If you really want to return to the workforce, the most important thing to do is to prepare by changing your mind set and get out of that state of inertia. Work yourself out of the housewife role by re-organising or re-distributing household tasks to other family members or engaging professional help.
Step out of your comfort zone Start by talking to friends about your impending return to work. Attending talks or seminars regarding industries of your job interest will help you further. During these events, move around and network to spread word of your ‘availability’.
Look at the potential
Develop tenacity and perseverance
Employers may find housewives’ employment gaps a huge deterrent. What they miss out on is their potential. Don’t focus on the limitations; choose to identify strengths and transferrable skills from her previous work experiences. Find a way to optimise them for tackling the job.
Any new environment can be stressful and bewildering. Give yourself time to adjust to your new responsibilities, colleagues and workspace. Don’t be afraid to consult your supervisor often. If the task seems too immense, break it down into manageable bite-sized pieces. You can do it when you persevere.
Help development by training Sometimes, the employee’s skills could be outdated and she may require further training. The sooner the employer recognises this and provides the relevant training, the faster the employee can settle in and excel at her job. It is crucial for the employer to understand that some hand-holding is required in the first couple of months, as tedious as it may be.
Many talented women in Singapore put their careers on hold when their families need them—this does not mean they can’t do the job just as well. Here lies a talent pool waiting to be tapped if only we just change our mindsets. For more information, please visit www.gmprecruit.com

Yes, the question every person asks themselves at least once in their working lives. When you feel like you’ve reached the point when you have proved your worth, you wonder why you’re not getting the promotion you deserve – especially when you’re not satisfied with your pay. Don’t worry, you’re not alone – our recent survey about salary satisfaction tells us that 61% of Singaporeans feel overworked, yet underpaid. The first thing you have to understand about getting a promotion is you can’t wait around for your boss to hand it to you. You will have to approach him or her. Are you ready for that promotion? Here’s what to know before you sit your boss down for the big conversation.
Prepare way ahead of time
Plan when to approach your boss
Find out how much you’re worth
You can’t expect to waltz up to your boss right now and expect to get the promotion you want. What happens when he or she asks you to prove why you deserve it? It’s best for your sake (and the fate of your promotion) to do your homework.
Asking your boss for a meeting to review your performance at the right time will improve your chances of getting that promotion.
If or when you’re offered the promotion, you should negotiate your new salary. Expecting your boss to come up with a figure and accepting it is one of the biggest career mistakes you can make.
What should you prepare? • Make a list of your accomplishments to justify a promotion • If you have numbers to back it up further, include it in • Highlight points about how you have gone above and beyond for your company • Demonstrate how you will be suited for the position you want
When should you arrange for a meeting? • Your yearly performance appraisal is a great time to talk about it • If your company is going through a restructuring or merger, there is a good opportunity to ask your boss where he or she sees you fitting in • A regular workday when he or she is free and in a good mood is a day as good as any
The first thing you have to understand about getting a promotion is you can’t wait around for your boss to hand it to you. You will have to approach him or her.
Find out how much other people in similar roles are getting beforehand, both within the company and out. Then let the negotiations begin. Remember, it is okay to ask for too much because companies always give you less than what you ask for, and never more.

18 Top Tips on How to Bag Your Dream Job Have an online and offline presence that drives you towards your targeted audience. Conduct daily job searches on major or specialist jobboards and job search engines to stay on top of new jobs being posted. Better still, sign up for job alerts which will notify you when a hot new job is posted online. Have a different version of your resume. Your online resume should have industryrelated keywords strategically placed throughout to help search engine find your details. Help employers find you by having a strong online presence in the right places. To be noticeable, keep an up to date profile and stay active. It also helps to ensure that your resume is listed on all appropriate job-boards. Build your own ‘brand’ using blogs, tweets, groups and forum commentary, enhancing your marketability in the long run. This really depends on your industry. Ensure your online networking profile is up to date. Use this to reach out to contacts in your industry and establish a connection.
Join professional groups on social media and post thought-provoking topics or provide guidance and advice to other group members. This way, you will be marketing your ‘brand’ with subtlety.
people instantly, removing the need for cold calling, getting blocked by gatekeepers, constantly leaving messages and sending your resume into a virtual black hole. The key is to be present and memorable.
Bring the relationship offline. Once you have connected with an individual online, go one step further and arrange for a face-to-face interview or coffee chat.
Continue your personal development by attending seminars, conferences, award ceremonies and Chamber of Commerce events. Remember to place your business cards firmly in the hands of industry peers.
Approach companies who aren’t necessarily advertising or actively recruiting because many jobs are not advertised. In certain circumstances, positions can even be created around the right individual. Use online research skills to pursue your next boss or job. ‘Stalk’ the company you want to work for by reading their blogs, company pages on social media, press releases and tweets. Discover the key individuals, then approach them online or make a beeline for them offline at a local event. Attend industry events where key decision makers are present. This puts you face-to-face with the right
Request referrals from your own network, the networks of your friends, colleagues, acquaintances and even strangers.
Have short, medium and long term goals. You may attend an event that will not provide short-term gains, instead paving the way towards something meaningful in the future. Be strategic in this sense. Understand the power of give and take. Give your time, effort, know-how and resources to others. This selfless art of giving often produces roundabout results in terms of favours and people helping you in your time of need. It’s Karma in its simplest form. By DEE ALLAN Director, 3C Synergy
Be relentless in your pursuit of finding the right people to meet. This might lead to the right opportunity. Persistence is the key here. Have an ever-ready supply of business cards, and hand them out like candy. Always chase, follow up and close. Chase contacts, follow-up with phone-calls, then close by summarising conversations. Do these three things constantly with all the useful contacts you meet. www.3csynergy.com

Things You Should Know Before You Start Working Forget everything you learnt in school – well, everything except your education. Once you start your career, you will realise that the working world is a very different and strange one from the world you are used to. From office politics to salary negotiation, the very thought that school has done nothing to prepare you for this will cross your mind. Fret not! Below are ten things you should know right now before you start working. They will help to ease you in nicely when you become part of the working class.
best networking contact, be it a client or an intern. Build good bridges because you might just get offered an opportunity you have always wanted.
3 Don’t be afraid to make yourself heard, whether it’s a new idea you have or an opinion on an upcoming project. The best way to do so is through a face-to-face conversation with the person-in-charge.
4 Criticism – or feedback, for a nicer term – should not be taken negatively. Instead, consider what is being said and why. It will help you get better at what you do.
5 When you have an unreasonable boss, you have to learn not to take things personally and that it is perfectly alright to question authority – respectfully, of course.
6 Understand that time is no longer going to be a commodity you will have. How you use (or do not use) your time is an indication of what your future is going to be like. Be smart about it.
7 Instead of trying to improve yourself all-round, focus on your strengths. Use your time to develop them further. Over time you can reach your full potential by becoming an expert in your strongest areas.
8 Start learning to say yes to things, even if they scare you a lot. When you put yourself out of your comfort zone, you’ll begin to realise that there are many things you can achieve that you never thought you could before.
9 It doesn’t matter how smart you are, or how talented you are. Because at the end of the day, determination and perseverance are the only two things you need to become successful in everything you do.
10 Always try to find a good work-life balance. After all, your job itself should not give your life meaning.
