Good demand for poly grads

DENTAL hygienist Tasha Cherie Bhullar applied for three jobs after graduating from her course at Nanyang Polytechnic in May last year.

Within two weeks, the 20-year-old Singaporean received 'two to three attractive offers with starting salaries of $2,500', she told my paper.

She now works at a dental clinic in the city area, with a basic pay of $2,500, excluding bonuses.

She was not worried that she would not get a job despite the recession, because there is a demand for dental hygenists here, she said.

Similarly, Mr Kuriakin Zeng, 24, who graduated from Singapore Polytechnic (SP) with a diploma in electronics, computer and communication engineering, received four job offers - without having applied for them.

He chose to work as a full-time research assistant in SP's Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Control Centre, because of his 'love for robotics', he said.
