Dilemma that fresh PhD graduates face


EVERY fresh PhD graduate wants a job that pays well, at least better than a graduate with a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree would expect. However, most fresh PhD gradnates face difficulty in finding local jobs that actually utilise the research skills that are central to PhD training.

Currently, there are not many job vacancies that require candidates with the highest academic degree, especially in the private sectors. The global pandemic that caused many firms to freeze recruitment has made it even more difficult for a fresh PhD graduate to get a job now.
