Nowadays, most fresh graduates cannot obtain their desired jobs because they are many competitors between them.  Because of that, I think the article about “6 Formula Kerjaya Impian” is very interesting to read and it can guide us especially we as students that will be graduates in the future. I strongly agree with Airil Haimi Adnan’s opinion from the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), Perak who is a Pro-Chief Executive of ‘UFORIA’ Centre.

Based on this article, I found a few fallacies with examples. The first fallacy is hasty generalization.  The example that Airil Haimi used was “ Statistik menunujukkan 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”.  I think his example should be more wider and not only focus on one scope that is “Jawatan Pegawai Pentadbiran” because the conclusion is drawn based on a sample that is not large and strong enough.

“ Buktinya, ada graduan yang sudah berjaya kerana mereka ‘ lebih dari layak’ berdasarkan semua kriteria di dalam rajah Formula Kerjaya impian(FKI)”, this example clearly showed there is an appeal to novelty. In my opinion, I agree with this FKI because it assumes the newness of an idea as evidence of its truth.

                As for the conclusion, the article about “6 Formula Kerjaya Impian” by Airil Haimi Adnan is an awesome article because it is full of knowledge that can help graduates as to seek one’s fortune.
