No commentsBy Randy Wheeler
Students try to find a good job before graduating from college. It is clear that most people want to be financially independent. In this respect, different people make different decisions concerning their financial condition and the learning process. As student life in college encourages people to make money regardless of the influence on the learning process, the academic progress can be rather poor. Effective performance is the issue of paramount importance for students as their main goal in college is to acquire knowledge and skill to implement those in practice. As soon as you find a job, you will want to make more money and will have to take extra working hours. This article dwells on pros and cons of working in college, especially focuses on not working!
Work in college: advantages
We believe that you can work when you have a diploma, though you can find a part-time job being a college student. In that regard, the only advantage of work in college includes your salary as an opportunity to buy something you want.
Work in college: disadvantages
There are pros and cons of work being a college student. You should focus on your learning and acquire knowledge. You should expand your energies in order to gain skills that can be implemented in future. As you probably want to have a family in future, you will have to maintain it or make steady contributions to the family budget, it is preferable to have appropriate skills to find a well-paid job. The learning process is the investment into your future. The more useful information you collect, the more skills you acquire, the more adequately you treat the learning process as a whole, the more prepared you are for good job positions.

Employers Fight to Retain their Talent
By Mark Lim T.T.
The latest Hays Quarterly Report reveals that an increasing number of employers in Singapore are willing to counter offer in efforts to retain their staff.
“Over the past few months, the number of vacancies has been steadily increasing. Rising vacancy activity naturally leads to a spike in candidate interest, particularly from those quality passive candidates that keep an eye on the market,” says Chris Mead, General Manager of Hays in Singapore.
“Many employers are aware of the skill shortages but take it for granted their staff will remain loyal. Unless they have communicated career development plans clearly, employees are likely to question their future and begin to explore the rising number of opportunities on the market.
“For employers with a strong talent pool, this means you need to do everything you can to retain your team before they seek or attract interest from outside the business,” he said.
“Counter offers are on the rise. This trend is likely to continue over the next 12 months as employers fight to retain their key talent.”
According to the July September Hays Quarterly Report, employers will be looking to recruit the following skills:
Accountancy & Finance: Candidates with strong MAS or international regulatory experience are in high demand as are Internal Auditors and Product Controllers.
Within commerce and industry, the main area of demand is in the retail and FMCG sectors. Professional services firms are also ramping up their hiring activities and there are more opportunities within Corporate Finance. The property and construction sectors are actively hiring Finance Managers, Business Development Managers and Project Managers.
Banking: Settlement candidates with good derivatives product knowledge are in demand due to the migration of such roles from Europe to Singapore. There is also high demand for experienced Project Managers and Business Analysts with specific product knowledge.
Operational Risk and Compliance professionals with solid relevant experience in the region are in continued demand, especially at mid and senior levels, with the heightened state of regulatory and controls environment.
Construction: The civil and infrastructure sector is recovering quickly, fuelled by the underground rail network and the MRT line, which is scheduled for completion in 2013.
Specific senior positions are still highly sought on a needs basis. From a contractors perspective, the emphasis is on local experience.
Finance Technology: Java, C++ Developers and C# Developers are in high demand for work on projects to build in-house low latency, high frequency real time trading systems.
The Market and Credit Risk areas of investment banks are also in need of extra resources as the need to integrate risk systems into emerging markets continues. Adding to this is the demand for more bespoke solutions around obtaining real-time data feeds.
Information Technology: A number of large scale projects have resulted in demand for strong technical candidates, particularly within the banking, telecom and energy sectors. Candidates with more than five years of experience in Oracle, JAVA, C# and .Net are also in demand. There are a variety of roles available, including Developers and Project Managers.
Oil & Gas: Singapore continues to strengthen its reputation as a premier location for FPSO conversions as well as for building offshore support vessels. These niche areas are both busy as more exploration projects are put back on the agenda following the recession.
There is a steady increase of recruitment activity in both the marine and shipping sectors. Experienced EPC and Design personnel are also in high demand.
Pharma: There has been a noticeable increase in the number of bio-manufacturing positions, which stems from continued inward investment in the area. Abbott Nutritions recently opened powder plant has played a large role. Many more companies are planning on doing the same over the next year or so in order to take advantage of economies of scale and reduced costs per hire.
Property: Project Managers as well as Facilities Managers are needed to assist large multinational companies move from their existing buildings to brand new buildings. Candidates in high demand for these roles are those with more than six years experience in a Project Management or Facilities Management role in Singapore, ideally delivering commercial interior or data centre projects for a large corporate, banking or IT space.
Sales & Marketing: Firms across many industries are confidently investing in sales and marketing talent. There is a common focus on professionals that will have an immediate and measurable impact on the firms bottom line. As a result, front line Sales Executives with a solid track record and good industry contacts continue to be in high demand.
With the FMCG industry, companies are investing heavily in their brand and product management. This is set to continue for the remainder of 2010.
