     Based on the article that I have read, I strongly agree with most claims that the author gave in the article. In the introduction paragraph, it is stated that for those who have a diploma or degree they may go  into their desired job. However, the chances of their dream being fulfilled is  not easy due to higher rate of competitors. In my opinion,  all claims are totally true. I found that Airil Haimi Mohd Adnan who is the Pro-chief Executive of Uforia of Excellent at UiTM Perak had provided the evidence by statistic showed in the article. Moreover, there is some element of fallacies. In this statement, I found  the example of hasty generation which is “Statistik menunjukkan sesetengah ‘kerjaya impian’ tinggal impian semata-mata kerana terlalu ramai yang berminat dengan kerjaya itu. Sebagai contoh, untuk jawatan Pegawai Tadbir Kerajaan, kira-kira 30,000 graduan memohon. This claim state the conclusion about a population is drawn based on a sample that is not large enough.

     Furthermore, I also found there is an example of appeal to novelty on the article. For example is “Buktinya, ada graduan yang sudah berjaya kerana mereka ‘lebih dari layak’ berdasarkan semua kriteria di dalam rajah FKI”. This claim assumes that the newness of an idea and evidence of its truth.

     As a conclusion, I think that most of the arguement and statement are supported by strong evidence and those people that will graduate should read through these tips to prepare themselves when enrolling for jobs later on.
