Greetings to all NTU students! Are you contemplating the ideal work
setting for your soon-to-be professional life? Remote work and flexible hours
are the trending topics right now, but let's pause for a moment and explore
these options more deeply. The notion of working from the
comfort of home may initially seem enticing. However, thriving in such an
environment requires substantial self-discipline and motivation. Can you
maintain productivity without the structured environment an office provides?
It's worth considering especially when it is your first jump into working
life. If you lean towards introversion,
working alone may be well-suited for you. Research suggests that introverts
often adapt well to remote work conditions. However, if you're an extrovert
who thrives on social interaction, a traditional office setting may be more
energising for you. Workplace relationships matter
more than you might think. Success in any job isn’t solely about your skills or
performance; it often hinges on the rapport you build with your colleagues.
The nuances of interpersonal dynamics are easier to navigate face-to-face and
harder to develop in a remote setting. It's also worth noting that if a
role can be performed remotely, companies might start considering candidates
from other countries where labour costs are lower. This could make your job
less secure in the long run. Before you make any decisions
about the kind of work environment you prefer, it's important to engage in
some self-reflection. What truly motivates you in a work setting? If you
do not have an idea, be open to try various options or a hybrid working
environment where you get to experience both environments. Also, actively
network and speak with representatives from organisations of varying sizes
across sectors to better understand the work environments that are being
offered. That way, you can assess if they align with your personal goals. You might like to consider the
unique opportunities that come with working in a small or medium-sized
enterprise (SMEs)! Here at ASME, many of our member companies provide
internships and job opportunities that offer close collaboration with the
head of the business like the boss or the senior manager. Such experiences
are often less accessible in larger corporations. You could also get to
be exposed to a wide range of work experience in an SME, compared to a
narrower field in a larger corporation. ASME is also an
Approved-in-Principle (AIP) partner for the Global Ready Talent (GRT)
initiative, offering internships with a minimum monthly remuneration of
SGD1000. Interested
