Dear all,

 

I am planning a new workshop on water quality for professionals intending to further their understanding in the growing water industry or educators wanting to learn about the intricacies of water education.

In addition, I will share a summary of the survey results with all respondents. (Incidentally, this is something I would like to see more surveyors practising when I participate in their surveys.) The survey will close on 31 Oct 2016.

Are you a global worker?

Another apt article from Challenge: The world is their office: staying rooted, thinking global

Figure from Challenge

Some excepts:
"Roughly 212,000 Singaporeans live overseas, or about 6% of the citizen population, according to 2015 figures from the National Population and Talent Division.

Of this group, many seek work opportunities in 'talent superhubs', places where digital corporations and talent gravitate, nurturing and feeding off each other."

“Getting some international experience is now really important. Many companies cite the lack of regional or global exposure as a large constraint”

"Opportunities in the region are still overlooked by many Singaporeans, for whom regional markets are seen as “hardship postings”. This is despite massive opportunities in neighbouring countries like Indonesia, which has big ambitions but a shortage of technical skills"

I find that this is a continuing trend in the increasingly interconnected world. On a personal level, it is always a good idea to explore what the world has offer beyond Singapore. As an interviewer told me in an interview decades ago, "broaden your horizons."

Sure, by all means, make Singapore your permanent home where your family and roots are. But feel free to go beyond and find out more about other cultures and how they do things.

Free lancing, anyone?

Interesting read from Challenge: Rise of the Free Lancer, especially for those who intend to be a free lancer or to employ one.

Figure from Challenge

Some excerpts:
"... a growing pool of freelance professionals who enjoy the freedom of working for themselves. The perks include being able to dictate their own schedules and choose assignments that they are enthusiastic about."

"If the job isn’t done well, they’re not going to get their next job. So you have a workforce of people who are self-motivated and a lot more focused."

“Freelancers must be paid when they’ve done a job. Whether one considers it well done or not can be arbitrary — but there must be some sort of mechanism to protect both freelancers and employers.”

Personally, I find nothing wrong with free lancing if indeed that is what you want in life. Therefore, finding out or deciding what you want in life is important for you to make the right choices in the right direction.

If anyone wants a start in free lancing, try: https://www.freelancer.sg
