but i've quit for good. not good for health you know
hi wanderlust! I'm in my final yr in NUS chem engin..... but I don't know what I will be doing after graduation. care to share more about your experience in the chemical engineering field? and may i ask what job are u doing now?
thanks!!
I graduated with a Chemical Engineering Degree from UK.
I have been in the semiconductor industry for a few years. Currently, I am working as a Maintenance Engineer, doing maintenance for my chemical dispense systems. Lots to learn and I love this job. I love to walk around and interact with people during my daily coordination with people.
Chemical Engineering graduates can go to industries like semiconductor, petroleum, pharmaceutical and food (which Singapore seen to be lack of).
In my opinion, government sectors seem to want only graduates with 1st or 2nd upper honours. What's what they always put in the advertisment when I was looking for a job.
However, in my opinion for private sectors, they are looking for something more than academic results. My uni senior (working with a pharmaceutical company) once told me that he has this IA student with very good results working under him. My senior said even though he has good academic results, he was not very good when it comes to working. So you see, academic results aren't really everything. In the real working world, many factors come in. Leadership, coordination with people, ability to work under stress, organisation skills etc.
Hi Sweeties,
How you all get the engineering job you desire? I being looking for one since i come out from Poly 2 yrs ago. I still like floating halfway. Work as a small clerk ...
