Resources for Career Resilience

Hi everyone,

With the pandemic, we understand that many of you are concerned about your careers.

  • For those graduating - How should I find a job?

  • For those working - How do I stay employed?

  • And for those unemployed - How do I land a job?

At My Working Title, we know that these are real concerns. As career design advocates, we can’t promise to solve every career woe. Some of you might be in survival mode, some more with existential questions. What we can do is this – to give you the HANDLES to drive your own career.(Just to be clear, we are not giving this to get your email address only, or to up-sell you after the "free" version. At the same time, we are also a small business needing to survive. If you find that these resources have added value to your career journey, do consider supporting us through purchasing our programmes and products here. )

  • One-stop portals on where grads can get access to career resources and find jobs: Grad Go Where and Talent Tribe's Resources for Covid-19

  • Career Services: Did you know that your school provides FREE career services? Approach them for help in job search, resume edits, interview practice and more. Don’t be shy, and tap into this invaluable resource!

  • Profiling Tools: If your school career services provide access to profiling tools, make use of them. Tools like hoozyu, Strong, MBTI, etc, are insightful tools to self-discovery (and also cost money!)

  • Career+ App: For NUS Students, there’s an app created for you by JobTech. This app helps to find your skills match. Don’t miss this opportunity to get good data to make career decisions. You can also access the full suite of resources here.

  • Career Axis: For NTU Students, here's the link to your job and internship portal

  • Apply for Traineeships: Apply at the SGUnited Virtual Career Fair  , via WSG

  • Mentorship programme: organised by Advisory.SG , Young NTUC

  • Internships and Jobs for Graduates: by GradSingapore

  • Learn in-demand skills: Check out LinkedIn Learning, Coursera and M.A.D. school. Focus on what’s critical for the future – such as creativity, critical thinking, and persuasion. Still unclear? Here's an article explaining which online academies are good for what purpose.

These are tough times. We don’t know when it will end. We don’t know whether it will worsen (or not). We don’t know the net sum of the impact upon ourselves. But what we know is this – how we work, what we work on, how the world works, will change.

Yes, there are external forces. Yes, things can be “unfair”. And yes, digital transformation is here. What we can do is not lose ourselves in this change, but to adapt, just like a start-up.

Here with you,

Jael and Darlene

A little bit about My Working Title

We are more than a company providing career consultancy, tools and programmes. We are also a movement where we want to inspire and empower people to own and drive their own career-life. Career design as a practice is very nascent in Singapore and Asia, and we aim to raise awareness about the need, the research on it and also share practical handles for continued employability and effectiveness.

Since our launch in September 2017, our products and services have extended to 25 countries. Our clients include LinkedIn, Unilever, Grab, Shopee, NUS Business School, GIC, Aviva, and Workforce Singapore Group.
