Shall I start my own business as a fresh graduate? Would like to hear more advice from all of you, thanks!
I'm a recent graduate from NTU and I am in my 3rd month as a full-time job hunter in Singapore.
I have read lots of women's stories of growth in the Fairygodboss community, which encourag me the idea of starting my new business in Singapore. Eastablish a media company to help Singaporean/Malaysian brands enter the Chinese social media marketplace(xiaohongshu小红书), leveraging the power of digital media to increase brand exposure and attract new customers.
I completed my bachelor in Malaysia and my master in Singapore.I know what the market is like and how much demand there is . What I have now is a 90k dan base,successful xiaohongshu operating experience in China, and a professional operating team in China.

This depends on the market in Singapore and the strength of your portfolio. Did you complete an internship while completing your degree? Was it polished, and will it provide a legitimate and powerful reference? I know the best way in the US to get into a brand marketing business/job is to have a good portfolio and references. This is hard to do without prior job experience or an internship. Check out your network and see what they say. You may want to check back with your school and see if they have a career center you can use to help you figure out your next steps.
