During my third year of undergraduate studies, I decided to take on an internship despite feeling burnt out from the semester. It was challenging as I dealt with a lot of workplace anxiety and woes. I decided to seek help from my career advisor, and she gave me practical advice on how to navigate my anxieties. I appreciated how she validated all my stressors. She also gave me the extra push and encouragement to stay on — which was exactly what I needed at that moment! I'm grateful that NUS provided me with a safe space and the opportunity to meet my career advisor. I developed a stronger, more resilient mind and found professional ways to cope with stressors I encountered during work.

The career advisors are very helpful in giving support and tips to craft our success in the working world. I really appreciate the multivarious resources, workshops and events that CFG provides for NUS students to fire up their career journey!
