Career Opportunities: OMW to pursue my dream career!

Next year is going to be a whole new different year for me. I will no longer be a student after December. I need to prepare for my next step in the fashion industry. I realized my interest in creating creative content, such as branding and advertising, has drawn me this far since young.

Lately, I am considering to work in Indonesia. My previous plan was to work in Singapore for at least a year after graduating. I have always wanted to have experience working in abroad companies, but a few factors have hindered this plan due to the pandemic. Therefore, I research brands and companies that might be suitable and available for the job positioning I am interested in. Moreover, I try to find companies that can build and strengthen the skills that I’ve learned throughout my academy and gained a new perspective of the industry. Here’s the companies that I am eyeing to work.
