Tanya Pakar : 6 Formula Kerjaya Impian

After reading this article, I found it is a good reading material and gives a lot of help to students and fresh graduates for job search preparations. Failed to get a job is a main problem faced by fresh graduates. Thus, it will gives pressure to them. The author had interview an expert to share research findings and tips for job seeker. This article had a few fallacies even though it does provide many evidences.

The author had use the fallacy of appeal to tradition based on the statement of,” memang sudah lumrah hanya sebilangan kecil graduan sahaja yang akan dapat mencapai kerjaya impian mereka”. This shown that, this phenomenon had been always happened before this. The author also said “PGNK yang rendah akan menjadikan diploma atau ijazah graduan kurang bernilai di pasaran pekerjaan”, this sentence shows appeal to ignorance fallacy because the author does not come with strong evidence to support her statement. Other than that, the article clearly shows slippery slope fallacy through the sentences “Mereka ini lazimnya tidak yakin berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggeris dan bahasa antarabangsa lain. Akibatnya, mereka langsung tidak dapat meyakinkan penemuduga ketika menghadiri temuduga”. The author said that the graduates failed to get jobs because the interviewer cannot accept fresh graduate as an employee that lack in communication skills especially English language.

As a conclusion, this article can gives the students and fresh graduates good information for the preparation for job seeking. They can improve the area they are lacking by following this tips.
