S’porean Fresh Grad 22, Found Herself Working For Funeral Parlour With Indescribable Experience
Singapore declared the Covid-19 pandemic which freezes almost half of everything and placing the whole country’s economy is a bad situation, while the whole market hunting for jobs becomes tougher in sudden. Natasha Wee, 22, she was just graduated from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as she was just about to look for a job and with the pandemic started, she panicked as she did couldn’t find any job on media-related jobs due to mostly all job hiring process are freezing.
Out of somewhere, one day she recalls that during her grandfather pass away time, she met the founder of the funeral service company and she was asked if she would consider a career in this bereavement industry.
On her first day of work, it is pretty much she has to start to learn everything as a senior is required to do by handling a dead body, change a full set of clothes for a deceased person, setting up and tearing down of wake venues which she never ever imagined she will be doing it. Plus she managed to cope up with her act first and think later way plus with strong bonds from her colleagues and she started to see the different perceptive of working in this bereavement industry.
A job under her position as Funeral Director Assistance will require you to do a lot of thing such as meeting with people on the morning or rushing over to hospital while you are halfway on your dinner but she mentioned that it just gives her a strong sense of fulfilment, having to help these people by giving their love one a dignified farewell.
