JobsCentral Survey: Recent Graduates Expect Higher Salary and Fast Promotions

'By Juliet Soh

64% of recent graduates expect at least $3000 monthly salary in their first job, according to an annual survey by JobsCentral, Singapore's most popular job portal for university students and graduates. In 2011, the same survey reports only 55% of respondents demanding more than $3000 per month for their first job.

Fresh graduates expect first promotion within first two years of work

Three out of four (75.5%) of those who were surveyed expressed that they expect their first promotion to occur within the first two years of their career. 22.6% believe that they may be promoted by the first year of work, while 52.9% indicated that they expect to be promoted in their second year.'

From the above which sg company can retain staff? We would need an army of FTs to be junior staff to this batch of graduates.

I'm sure $3k and manager in 3 years is very possible, but you don't just walk in and ask for it. It's an art of 20% communication and social skills, with 60% job competency and 20% working on the right job.
