Is a part-time job for you? Two career counsellors give their advice
The experts:Ms Clarice Song, 37, co-founder of Bold at Work, a centre that helps youth design their education and career pathways,
Mr Marvin Kang, 43, executive director of The Astronauts Collective (TAC), a non-profit organisation that supports career exploration for youth
Q: How can students find a job best suited for them?Ms Song: Be observant about the unspoken aspects of the job you’re looking at – the culture, people, structure, workplace environment and the kind of impact that the job creates. These elements usually aren’t that evident in a casual part-time job. Can you see yourself working in the role consistently, day in, day out? There’s no perfect job, so consider both the things you’ll be good at, and aspects that you won’t really enjoy.
