Magazine business
I’d like to enrol in a private institution to study mass communications but I’m unsure if the job prospects are good. I hope to work as a writer in a magazine, but I’m afraid the chances won’t be as good as compared to those from a polytechnic or junior college. Is this true and what can I do in order to enter this industry? |

Challenge Yourself
I’m in a scenario at work at the moment where I’ve completed all my work and have totally nothing to do! It makes me feel embarrassed that I am the only one who doesn’t have things to do in the office. I asked my boss for work but he always says that there isn’t much to do at the moment. I feel so bored. What should I do? |

Getting what you want
I’m currently at a crossroads at work. I’m a senior executive working independently without any managerial supervision for almost a year now. I enjoy the work and I like the solitary style and freedom I’ve been given, the major account I’ve been in charge of has been growing slowly growing. I get along really well with my big bosses and with the people in the office – they compliment me on getting the job well done. But I feel that I deserve a lot more than I’m being paid plus a promotion, since I’ve been managing the entire account on my own. I don’t know how my bosses really judge me, and I’m afraid to face the truth if I ever ask. There’s no one in the office who really knows what I’m doing, except for the two bigger bosses whom I consult frequently. But issues like a pay raise goes to the country manager and unfortunately, I don’t report to him. Raising the issue to the bigger bosses would be inappropriate because I don’t wish to by-pass the country manager. My last pay raise was in November last year (which was also a month late – it was a confirmation pay raise, and not a bonus) and I was told my next review doesn’t happen till later this year. I don’t want to wait anymore! I don’t think I’m being paid the market rate given my level of experience, and I know I can get better pay and position if I move. I’m caught between loving my current job and environment versus getting the pay I deserve and need to reach my own self-set goals. What should I do? |

Multi-national behaviour
I’m a fresh graduate who’ll be starting work in a Multi-National Company soon. What are the do’s and don’ts one should be mindful of, to portray a professional, yet sociable demeanour in the workplace? |

Other Online Matters
I’ve always wanted to sell something online and make money from it, but the problem is that I don’t know what to sell. I know to be in a business, you have to start with an interest but my interests are never fixed. How do I know if something I’ve always liked doing (which I might not be aware of) is something that I can make a business of? |
