      After reading this article, I found out this article is good for the readers especially for the university students. The author do not merely gives her personal opinion but this article contains a strong reference and facts. This is proven by the interview of the researcher of unity Research and application IP (UfoRIA), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UITM) Perak, Airil Haimi Mohd Adnan to share his tips for job seeker. However, there are a few fallacies that can be found in the article.

     Firstly, this article consists of appeal to tradition fallacy. The example of this fallacy is “memang sudah menjadi lumrah hanya sebilangan kecil graduan sahaja yang akan mendapat kerjaya impian mereka”. The word “lumrah” means something that commonly accepted among communities. Besides that, it is clearly shown that the article has appeal to ignorance. In the article, it is stated that “Graduan mestilah memperoleh Nilai Purata Gred Keseluruhan-PNGK (CGPA) tidak kurang daripada 3.00 dan 3.50 ke atas untuk memohon pekerjaan di firma antarabangsa”. It does not necessarily mean that graduates with good grades can be hired as an employee at job market. This is because, it is also important for graduates to have other skill such as soft skill, and any other professional skills.

     In a nutshell, I think the article is very suitable for the readers because it contains a lot of facts. The formula produced by the researcher can be used as a guide for university students and youth who are in pursue of their dream career.
