Having previously written short articles for us, Jeraldine Phneah is no stranger to readers of InternSG. This time as a Model Blogger, she brings us an interesting article which is in her area of savviness. She will share with readers what she thinks is the three best online shops to buy corporate wear for ladies. Here’s her article:
As a student or fresh graduate, our budget is often limited. The problem is that cheap clothes outside are often not of good quality.
Where then can we find both affordable and nice work wear?
Based on my experience in online shopping, I would like to introduce 3 stores today that are of affordable and quality alterative. This is not an advertisement as both InternSG and I are not paid to feature these blogshops.
Another benefit of online shopping in these stores are that the dresses are so beautiful, you get to stand out from the crowd and make a good impression.

This is the second half of her two parts article, if you have missed her first section of the article, you can view it here. Read on to find out more what she has to tell you on the Dos and Don’ts of creating your resume:
Here are some basic tips on resume crafting
1) Don’t put a picture (especially if you are a girl)
According to Harvard Business Review, submitting photos of attractive female job seekers is not a good idea. In companies that advertised job openings, good-looking females (as judged by a panel we assembled) received 6% fewer callbacks than plain-looking females and 23% fewer than women without pictures.
Why so?

Overseas Employment/Internships Scam Advisory:
This morning 3 internships from a company called Impact Ltd. are posted on InternSG offering the position of Marketing Consultant, Export/ International Trade Consultants and Financial Analysts in New York, Toronto and Montreal. A kind netizen has brought to our attention that the postings are scams (the fraudulent group will ask unknowing job seekers to pay for job leads).
InternSG has since taken down these postings.
Please be advised to exercise great caution for overseas employment opportunities. Also never pay for any fee upfront for any kind of opportunities or administrative matters (it is an obvious red flag for scams).
We also encourage our users to help each other, and notify InternSG (support@internsg.com) if you suspect any fraudulent activities.

 If you haven’t get an internship after several tries applying for one, you might be asking yourself: Is my resume missing something, am I doing it right? InternSG’s guest blogger, Jeraldine Phneah, offers to bring some of her useful pointers on how to craft a good resume. Read the first part of her two parts article below: (you can read the second half here)
A common question undergraduates commonly ask is “How do I write a resume?”. This is a skill I believe is most relevant for those in their final year of studies. Thankfully, due to our information society today, education and knowledge can be shared easily and for free. Thus, you don’t have to pay for any workshops.
First of all, you should create an inventory of your accomplishments—tasks that you enjoyed doing, did well, and are proud of. When making this list, it is important to focus on the outcomes of your efforts. Do not exaggerate but don’t be modest as well because the whole point of a resume is to promote you!

 Nicolette on the importance of dressing well and its impact in the corporate world
Most people are aware that there isn’t a uniform for polytechnic students which basically leaves us to dress in almost any way that we please. While some students are not really bothered by the trends and just dress casually to school, there are others who are the complete opposite. These are the students who dress well, who would spend time putting together their outfits and doing their hair. It isn’t a rare sight to see students coming on a normal school for classes with high heels and full make-up.
Dressing well shows respect for others. I’m not a teacher, but I’ve talked to a number of lecturers who find it frustrating that their students, as a rule, come to class looking like they’ve just rolled out of bed and would really rather be there still. No lecturer likes it when students seem not to care, and you can communicate “not caring” by wearing a shirt that hasn’t been washed in weeks as well as you can by staring out the window during the lecture.
The look that is common to a number of polytechnic students and others today—cargo shorts, t-shirts, jeans,—is mainly one that emphasizes comfort and individualism. Walking around in a hoodie communicates, “I don’t care what anybody else thinks about how I look; I’ll wear whatever I want and whatever I’m comfortable in.” Dressing up a bit, on the other hand, tells those around you that you care about the image you present to them, that you don’t want to give offense, and that you take things seriously, including your studies.
Yes, the course that one is studying may affect his/her dressing to a certain extent too. For instance, a Design student will tend to have his/her clothes colour coordinated. This could very well be due to the student’s artistic abilities as well.
So, how would a student’s dressing affect him/her in the corporate world? Would it have any impact? If there is, then would the impact be positive or negative?

 InternSG is please to have Nicolette Pereira in our most recent interview for our Featured Student Write-ups series. Nicolette is a third year student from Singapore Polytechnic, studying Media and Communication with a certificate in Humanitarian Affairs under the diploma plus programme offered by Singapore Polytechnic. She is also a facili-trainer at Positive Intentions,which is the official training company for the Youth Olympic Games.
Q. What prompted you to be a facili-trainer? What exactly does it it mean?
I was introduced into the company, Positive Intentions in October 2010 by my close friend who was trained as a Cultural village host during the YOG. A facili-trainer basically encompasses two words- facilitator as well as trainer. At Positive Intentions, we basically question them after a meaningful activity for them to come up answers instead of just giving the answers to them. this is so that the lesson learnt will stay with them longer as it wasnt us but them who really took the time and thought to think of the answer.
