Joking only lah, AK so old alrdy, still chiong ah.

Ha ha, my driving licence suspended, but I still hv presure craft licence.

Any free ride, say Marina South. He he. 

he he.....doctor w/o housemanship...good one.

btw,i do not charge any tuition fee for practical lessons....lol

Oni kopi $$$ for theory lessons...haha.

there's a reason why straits times rate these as most stable industries in recession. During recession, more bankruptcy cases and M&As so LAW firms actually earn more profit.

People who cannot find jobs will go further their studies until the recession is over, so TEACHING sector profits more too.

Do people skip looking for doctors when it's a recession? They don't right? and in fact, the gloomy mood and increased depression will probably make more pple sick and will actually bring more business for HEALTHCARE.

For my firm, we deal with 3 types of services - audit, advisory and tax ACCOUNTING. Audit is a no-brainer. Gd or bad times, audit is still required. Advisory will actually see increase for M&A consultancy too. Tax accounting actually helps companies reduces their taxes, thus increasing their profits. Companies will still have to pay taxes during recession and so this service is also not going to be affected. 

My dept has no history of pple getting retrenched since startup and there's also no probation period. All of us are perm staff and there's no contract staff. We have a shortage of experienced pple in fact and company is actually willing to pay bigger recommendation fees for recommending experienced pple in..

Perhaps so, the key thing is, what about the manpower turnover rate? If it's high, I'd suspect that the more expensive 'old bird' employees are being phased out with new employees coming in as lower cost replacements.

I notice there seems to be a trend of lengthening the probation period nowadays for perm staff; some companies are beginning to resort to hiring on contract basis only. Saves the companies a lot on fringe benefits, CPF etc. Bo pian, these companies are still profit driven.

pwc..but i believe the rest of the big 4 audit firms are hiring too..and I'm actually a finance degree holder, not an accounting degree holder lol

Hey... which company is that? 

I also want to apply. 

Yoh brother, u want to be SE tutor ah. Needs decades of experience in the same field loh.

Not only public sector, law, accountancy, teaching (including pte), healthcare are the stable industries as reported by straits times..my company is practically still hiring alot of pple in this period..lots of interviews going on=)

Give tuition. Education industry is ever green.

Tuition teachers are very rich.
