After reading this article, I think is a good article for graduate in research for the job. Nowadays, all post-graduates realize that there is the hot environment in searching job and career. First fallacy, the statement “Segelintir  graduan gagal dalam aspek kemahiran insan mereka . Mereka ini lazimnya tidak yakin berkomunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggeris dan bahasa antarabangsa lain. Akibatnya, mereka langsung tidak dapat menyakinkan penemuduga ketika menghadiri temeduga. This statement is the effect if graduates do not have the opportunity to get jobs because they are not confident to communicate in English and the international language.

                Next fallacy is an appeal to tradition. The author stated “Memang sudah lumrah hanya sebilangan kecil graduan saja yang akan dapat mencapai kerjaya impian mereka”.  It looks like the author is just simply concludes that there are always a few graduates manage to achieve their dream career.

Besides that, the fallacy use in the article is appeal to ignorance. For example, “Ribuan graduan gagal mendapat kerja dalam tempoh enam bulan pertama selepas tamat pengajian. Ramai terpaksa memilih kerja yang bukan dikategorikan sebagai kerjaya dan bukan bidang kepakaran mereka. In my opinion, this statement does not have a lot of evidence on why the graduates had to choose work that is not categorized as their preferred career and not within their field of expertise. In conclusion, I think this article is very useful to readers especially for post graduates because there are a lot of information that will surely start to being spark in mind.
