'Tis the season of stories!

Besides being the month of giving gifts and exchanging cards, December is also the time for sharing inspiring stories. Christmas is coming and everyone's in a merry mood. Of course, we're no different. Albeit it's not that obvious, we've been ecstatic since late November.

Because we can't wait for December 25 any longer, we're sharing to our followers today what our editors have specifically asked us to write about come the actual day of merrymaking. Never mind the possible consequence.

There. You may be asking...will this improve your mood for job hunting or career building (whichever is applicable in your case)? Probably. But here's the thing, we've never been this excited over a topic before. Those assurances are probably enough to incline you to continue reading (and reach the good stuff).

The perfect mood for Christmas in these writers' collective perspectives, is that which can be quantified as "intellectually fun." We're firm believers that time is of the essence in career management or a job search, so even though the general view regarding Christmas is that it's all about eating, partying, and ferrying, our idea is that you still shouldn't leave out on your intellectual life. All these having said, what's apparent now is, this post is going to be about fun but still relevant stories.

If you're an avid follower of us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/jobsdb.com.sg, you should have heard of this news already. But for the sake of those who haven't visited the Fanpage for a while, thank you because JobsDB.com Singapore tops the chart once again and wins the No.1 Recruitment Website of the Year award by Human Resources Magazine for the fifth year running.

It goes without saying that we feel exceedingly grateful for you guys because of making this happen and happy that our efforts have been a success. Rest assured, our enthusiasm won't change and we'll even seek to improve our services more! Again, thank you!

We're really enjoying reading entries at engage.sg.jobsdb.com/dream-job/. You'll be surprised at what's over there...that many Singaporeans, for instance, actually dream of being performers in the entertainment industry. Many more factlets are waiting to be discovered by you...so read, read, READ.
