Career Counselling

A 25-year-old fresh graduate, Chris, has been a Food Panda delivery person for the past year. He has been unable to secure any full-time roles despite the numerous job advertisements he has responded to. He is interested in the MICE industry and would like to be a project coordinator.

Chris has also been experiencing conflicts with his girlfriend as she is anxious for him to start a proper job. In the meantime, he quite enjoys his current gig but realizes that it is not for the long term.
