Things to Do After Graduation

1. Reflect on Your Interests and Strengths:

Think about what fields excite you and where your skills can be most impactful. Reflecting on your experiences during internships, classes, or projects can help clarify which paths feel rewarding.


2. Identify Long-Term Goals:

Consider where you'd like to be in five or ten years. Setting some initial long-term goals can help guide your career decisions. You don’t need a rigid plan, but a general direction will help.


3. Research Your Industry:

Look into growing fields within your area of study. Are there emerging technologies, popular roles, or companies known for hiring fresh grads in your field? LinkedIn, job boards, and industry sites are great resources.


4. Gain Practical Experience:

Internships, part-time jobs, or even volunteer work in your chosen field can provide valuable experience. Hands-on experience also strengthens your resume and helps build industry connections.


5. Develop a Strong Professional Network:

Attend industry events, connect with alumni from your school, and keep in touch with professors. Networking can be crucial for finding hidden opportunities and for mentorship.


6. Consider Further Learning:

Certifications, courses, or even a master’s degree might be helpful, especially if your field requires technical expertise. Explore opportunities for further study if they align with your goals.


7. Create a Compelling Resume and LinkedIn Profile:

Tailor your resume to highlight relevant skills and achievements. A professional LinkedIn profile can help recruiters find you and showcase your qualifications.


8. Start with an Entry-Level Role:

Don’t worry if your first job isn’t your “dream” job. Early roles are opportunities to learn, build skills, and expand your network. They’re stepping stones that can lead to your ideal career.


9. Stay Adaptable:

Careers are often nonlinear, and flexibility can open doors to unexpected opportunities. Be open to exploring paths you may not have initially considered.


10. Seek Mentorship:

Find a mentor in your field for advice and feedback. Mentors can help guide your career, introduce you to their network, and give you insight into the industry.

ASB Loan - Maybank

The bank officer told me that I actually served a loan of BFR-1.0% financing rate, which is higher. As the result, I terminated my 200k ASB loan that I served since 2009. The benefits thus far: 1. ASB Dividend since 2009 - amounting to 70k. 2. Cash from certificate liquidity - about 30k. In comparison to direct monthly deduction, I've earned an extra 20k! With the new financing rate for my new ASB loan (BFR-1.65%), the earning shall increase, subject to steady ASB performance for years to come. Alhamdulillah.
