Your resume with little or no work experience
Employers know you're at the start of your career. They look for evidence that you can learn, deliver, and work with others. You have more of that than you think.
- Projects: final-year projects, personal builds, and competitions, with what you did and what came out of it.
- Internships and part-time work: focus on results and responsibility, not a list of duties.
- Student leadership and CCAs: show what you organised, how many people were involved, and what changed.
- Volunteering and community work: real commitment is a good signal.
- Skills: show them in the projects and roles where you used them.
Know what you're worth
Our salary guide shows what people in a role in Singapore earn, from official Ministry of Manpower data. Because the survey covers all workers in an occupation, not just new graduates, treat the lower end as a rough guide to entry-level pay.
For graduate-specific figures, check the official graduate employment surveys published by your university.
Where to look for roles
Start with MyCareersFuture, the government's job portal, and the careers pages of companies you like. Your university's career services and career fairs are also worth using. Our live job search lists current openings ranked to your background.
Practise before the real thing
Almost every graduate interview includes "Tell me about yourself" and "Tell me about a time when...". Practise both out loud, in STAR order, until they feel natural. Our AI Voice Coach helps you hear where you ramble and what your answer is missing.
