The article is about “Tip Mencari Kerja” that the writer shared, to the fresh graduates on how they can achieve their dream job. Even that this article is good, but still had several fallacies in this article. The writer writes that “Segelintir graduan gagal dalam aspek Kemahiran Insan mereka. Mereka ini lazimnya tidak yakin berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Inggeris dan bahasa antarabangsa lain.”, it shows that appeal to ignorance fallacies because there are also have some graduate that can speaks in English who failed the interview.

Besides that, other fallacies are slippery slope. This can be seen when the author writes about a ‘Formula Kerjaya Impian’ (FKI), author stated several ways to get their dream job, graduates should active in activities in their campus, country with their participation certification, they also encouraged to participate in community or volunteer activities with written evidence, also must get CGPA not less than 3.00 and more than 3.50 and also they must have industrial training experiences.  Sentence that “Memang sudah menjadi lumrah hanya sebilangan kecil saja graduan yang akan mencapai kerja impian mereka” shows us that it has appeal to tradition fallacies.

Other than that, there also have begging the question fallacies when writers said that “Graduan yang membuat pelaburan tambahan dengan belajar sewaktu cuti semester contohnya, mudah mendapat pekerjaan dengan sijil tambahan yang mereka miliki.”, the writers said that graduates will be easier to get job if they have extra certificate, he wants the readers to accept his conclusion without providing the real evidence.
