How to Upgrade Yourself

Lifelong learning is important to keep yourself relevant in the new normal.

Today’s sluggish economy has made the job market more competitive than it has ever been before. Many graduates just about to hit the job market are feeling the pressure of setting themselves apart from their peers who are also looking for jobs.

In times like this, postgraduate education has become a popular means to give students an advantage in the job market. While it is common for students to think of a Master’s degree or PhD when talking about postgraduate options, there are other qualifications available.

LEARNING SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY

NAME: Khoo Zi Ning Eden DEGREE: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Banking and Finance, SIM-UOL, 2020 ROLE: Corporate Analyst EMPLOYER: Bank of Singapore

MY JOB

I am a Corporate Analyst under the Bank of Singapore’s Corporate Analyst Programme, which allows me to rotate into four different roles during the two-year programme. In my current rotation in the Strategic Investments and Insights team, I am involved in analysing the performance of other Private Banks around the world through various methodologies. For instance, we will deep dive on their annual reports, quarterly earnings reports and other sources of news and information. With the data collated, we perform data analytics through Power BI to derive meaningful insights. All these contributes to data-driven recommendations for our CEO and Management Committee members.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

I was initially enrolled under the SGUnited Traineeship with Bank of Singapore as a Project Management Office trainee under the Digital Transformation Team. Three months into the traineeship, I was offered an opportunity to fast-track into their Corporate Analyst programme. There were three rounds of evaluation; namely my manager’s evaluation, Psychometric and Character evaluation, and HR Manager evaluation. I was tasked with three mini-projects for my manager’s evaluation and managed to proceed to the next couple of rounds. The trickiest part of it was probably my manager’s evaluation, as I had no prior experience. Nevertheless, I was able to pick it up through some self-learning and delivered.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

The best part of my job would be that every piece of work is different. It can range from researching about the metaverse to analysing strategies from other companies. The team is constantly looking for ways to “level up” and we are always learning from a myriad of industries and businesses. This keeps me motivated as I am always able to learn something new at the end of the day. Similarly, the challenging part of my work is that every piece of work is different. Therefore, I am essentially “starting from scratch” every day.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

My biggest achievement so far would be in my previous rotation department, Technology. I was able to deliver a “Skills Finder” dashboard together with a team of colleagues. This allowed the Head of Departments and stakeholders in the department to have a democratised view of the skills that each employee in the Technology department possessed. The hiring managers were also able to identify the highly demanded skills in Technology and train or hire with the use of this dashboard. Finally, employees can showcase the skills they have picked up in their free time and collaborate with colleagues from another team for a certain project as well.

SOME ADVICE

One piece of advice would be to believe in yourself! A lot of the time, as fresh graduates, we might suffer from imposter syndrome or self-doubt during the job search process or after being hired. Most importantly, always remember that you bring value in terms of fresh ideas, humility and willingness to learn. All the best! www.sim.edu.sg

WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES FOR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION

NAME: Chong Yong Qi DEGREE: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Business and Management, SIM-UOL, 2020 ROLE: Brand and Business Development Executive EMPLOYER: FairPrice Groups

MY JOB

I am part of the FairPrice Group, Own Brands Retail, Brand and Business Development department. Our business unit handles all the FairPrice housebrand and private label consumer packaged goods. I belong to the Frozen and Chilled team, where we take care of all brands and products that fall within this category. We are responsible for the brand, product development and marketing of the products. My day-to-day responsibilities involve analysing, planning and executing marketing campaigns to drive higher offtake for our brands and products. I am also involved in the product development process.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

I was fortunate to secure a SGUnited Traineeship in August 2020 during the global pandemic. I went through two rounds of interviews with the Human Resources team and the hiring manager, and was offered a one-year traineeship programme position. Upon fulfilling the traineeship, I was offered a full-time role in July 2021 with the Chilled and Frozen team. Being resilient and adaptable, as well as having a good work attitude and performance, are important traits in today’s constantly evolving world.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

I enjoy the fast-paced nature of my work, and love seeing the tangible results of my efforts in each campaign when it is being executed in the retail outlets. I am thankful to have a manager who is nurturing, encourages open communication and strikes a sweet balance between autonomy and guidance. It also helps that I am working alongside a collaborative and supportive team. The steepest learning curve would be understanding the complexity and unique quirks of each category I manage. After spending time learning about them, it helped me ramp up in my role and knowledge in the long run.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

My biggest achievement and most memorable project would be the launch of a new Private Label Delicatessen brand into the market. It was my first task when I joined the Chilled and Frozen team, and the first project that I got to work on the end-to-end management from planning to execution. Despite the challenge of working with a tight deadline, it was most satisfying when I saw the strong support from stores, execution excellence and newly launched products flying off the shelves! It was very encouraging when we managed to hit our budget for the year! It also validated my efforts for this project.

SOME ADVICE

Make the best use of schooling time to prepare and fully learn about yourself – strengths, weaknesses and interests! To assess whether a job is something that you would like to do, nothing beats a first-hand experience through an internship. If the experience is not what you enjoy, at least you filtered it out early. I would also encourage networking on LinkedIn to learn from others’ experiences. Always keep an open mind and stay humble! Lastly, have a little faith! Do not give up on your dreams and continuously work towards them.

KEEPING DATA FOR BUSINESS PERFORMANCE DIGESTIBLE

NAME: Justin Teo Hern Thong DEGREE: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Business and Management, SIM-UOL, 2021 ROLE: Market Insights Apprentice (SAPMENA) EMPLOYER: L’Oréal

MY JOB

As a market insights apprentice under the South Asia Pacific, Middle East and North Africa (SAPMENA) Consumer and Market Intelligence (CMI) team, I am tasked to handle market research and support the local CMI team for global and regional projects. This includes analysing and translating large market datasets into key and actionable insights. I also perform deep dives on brand competition to address individual market's needs and demand. Additionally, I design data visualisation dashboards to showcase business performance in a digestible way.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

My interview and selection process consisted of three rounds. The first round was a phone interview conducted by HR to gauge my interest in the company. The second round was an individual interview with the hiring manager who sought an in-depth understanding of my individual skills and experiences. The final round was the trickiest – a technical test where I had to create a data visualisation dashboard to present to the hiring manager. I personally think what set me apart from other candidates was my determination and ability to bring fresh perspectives to the team.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

There are definitely highs and lows in every job. The reality is that not every day is all “rainbows and butterflies”. For highs, I have a high degree of responsibility in terms of working on global reports, projects and stakeholder management, which motivates me to give my 100 per cent every day. It also provides me with good networking opportunities with various market intelligence teams based in different markets. In terms of lows, SAPMENA is a new geographical zone, and we are still in transition – adapting to the new normal with the COVID endemic – which makes communication and collaboration a challenge.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

My happiest moment at work is having the opportunity to showcase my ideas and thoughts on how certain processes can be improved. For instance, I was able to optimise data cleaning and reduce the time to clean data by more than 50 per cent through the usage of Python and Visual Basic Application (VBA). This helps to facilitate and ensure that all regional reports across the division are submitted in a timely manner. Besides the technical projects, I have a great opportunity to learn and work with other talented apprentices.

SOME ADVICE

I would say “Dare to try. Dare to fail”. Do not be afraid to articulate your strengths and weaknesses. If you have a certain weakness, then keep on practising until you are comfortable. Record yourself, write down your hard and soft skills. Think about how you can improve and value add to the company. L'Oréal’s key strategic focus include Digital acceleration and e-commerce. Because of this, I would advise students to go beyond their degree, and to enhance their digital skills and be bold. Remember “Dreams will not work unless you do”.

UNDERSTANDING PAIN POINTS AND WORKING TO ALLEVIATE THEM

NAME: Samuel Fang DEGREE: Bachelor of Business (Management), SIM-RMIT, 2019 ROLE: Digital Specialist EMPLOYER: OCBC Bank

MY JOB

I usually spend each day speaking to both new and established businesses from a broad range of industries and gather insights from them. It is important for understand their pain points so that I can best support them at each stage of their business. There can be vastly different needs for each industry. For instance, a start-up eCommerce client might be looking to set up an online store, while an established business might be looking for more robust bookkeeping.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

I was given two questions to prepare for, and I had to do a lot of research into the terms and concepts presented. While I did have some related work experience, I felt that being sincere and genuine in showing interest went a long way. In a sea of candidates, everyone is gifted and has their own strengths; the ability to tell your story in a way that helps others believe in and understand your value will undoubtedly differentiate you from the rest. You have to be true and let your story come from a real place. The best stories are emotionally connecting and passionate, and makes people lean in to hear what you have to say.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

I was first drawn to the role because it was to support start-ups and SMEs. I have always been fascinated by the intricacies of businesses and learning how they work – understanding their pain points and challenges is the most stimulating part of my job. The start-up landscape can be complex with a steep learning curve; knowing that I add value to our customers and make a difference is highly fulfilling. On the other hand, the challenge comes with managing the different interests and expectations of my stakeholders. It can get tough, but I always remember how my work is meaningful. It is important to stay connected with the team, as this is what makes work fun. With eight of us on the team, each with our own area of expertise, we support each other to better serve our customers. We know that we are all in it together.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

Being in a fast-paced environment, I have had opportunities to work on different projects. For me, participating in a live webinar to share about my journey in OCBC with fresh graduates was a very enriching experience. I am also a part of the pioneer Medipreneur team, where I work with business owners in the healthcare industry; the team received an award from the CEO for this transformational initiative in innovation.

SOME ADVICE

Besides passion, having an open mind is one of the greatest traits you can possess – being willing to learn and tap into the wealth of knowledge and expertise available will develop you far beyond your expectations.

RECRUITMENT: A REWARDING CAREER WORTH PURSUING

NAME: Jessica Fong Zhi Tong DEGREE: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Accounting and Finance, SIM-UOL, 2018 ROLE: Senior Recruitment Specialist EMPLOYER: Recruit Express Pte Ltd

MY JOB

I am a Recruitment Specialist and my job requires me to reach out and liaise with a wide network of companies’ HR and Upper Management, to understand their recruitment needs and support them throughout the recruitment process. I also speak to candidates from different walks of life to assist them in their job search. This role often requires me to think out-ofthe box in the process of liaising and engaging with different stakeholders.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

After graduating with my A-Levels in 2015, I was hired as a HR Coordinator in Recruit Express. I extended my contract twice as I really enjoyed what I was doing. I found the role to be really challenging, yet satisfying. Before I graduated from SIM, I tried out a position relevant to what I studied, but the tempo and nature of the work did not suit me. Ultimately, I returned to the dynamic work environment and job fulfilment in Recruit Express, and I applied for a permanent role right after I graduated.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

Whenever I close a case or help my clients find the most suitable profiles, I get a deep sense of fulfilment. Also, the culture, people and intrinsic rewards keep me motivated to do better. As the company values meritocracy, I know that whatever efforts I sow, I will reap the benefits in the end. There will also be lows in any career. In our case, it could be rejections or objections from both clients and candidates. However, as our director always says, “Life is like riding a bicycle – in order to keep your balance, you must keep moving”. As long as you persevere, you will be able to cross every obstacle in front of you.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

My biggest achievement in the last three years was having the opportunity to lead a big recruitment project, and to be a mentor to the juniors. Not only did I grow in my technical skills, but I was also able to pick up vital management and leadership skills. My most memorable project was managing the recruitment of nurses and healthcare workers amidst the global pandemic. Within a very short timeframe, we were able to provide the manpower support needed for healthcare centres to function effectively. This has been my most challenging and meaningful project thus far.

SOME ADVICE

My position is nearly always associated with the word “sales”, which is not as daunting as it sounds. To me, it is just another term for “KPI”. Sometimes, you need to take the first step out of your comfort zone to find what suits you. Love what you do and put in consistent effort, for you will never know how much you are able to achieve!

VALUING LEARNING AND HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS

NAME: Brendon Lee DEGREE: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Accounting and Finance, SIM-UOL, 2009 ROLE: Audit Director EMPLOYER: RSM Singapore

MY JOB

As an audit director, my main job scope is to ensure all audit engagements run smoothly. There are many aspects to manage as I am the main touchpoint for my staff, audit partners and clients. I check in daily with my staff on the progress of the audit and hold discussions to resolve any issue. I also update my clients regularly, and sit in at meetings with them to discuss audit findings. On top of that, I also ensure the concerns of the audit partner are addressed so that audit engagements can be signed off on time.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

I was fortunate to be given a chance for an interview when I submitted my resume during my last semester at SIM. I was interviewed by one of the audit directors and one of the audit partners. I would say that the interview process was not as daunting as I imagined. In hindsight, and also being an interviewer myself now, I realise that interviewers are looking for someone who can fit into the firm’s culture rather than testing the interviewees’ technical knowledge and skills. I believe I demonstrated that I was eager to learn, down to earth and had the right attitude during the interview, which got me the job.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

Before I was promoted to audit manager, my favourite part of the job was the opportunity to interact with clients from different industries, backgrounds and levels. Conversing with our client’s C-suite level team was intimidating at times, but that was when I learnt the most. After my promotion to audit manager and then audit director, I now have staff who report directly to me. Now, my favourite aspect of the job is to guide my staff. The greatest motivation I have is to witness my staff grow, and see them being promoted to managerial level and have their own teams.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

I value human relationships a lot. I would say that my biggest achievement so far is having forged many meaningful relationships with my colleagues whom I have worked with. The family-like culture of this firm also helps me build close-knit teams. Although many of them have left the firm, we still remain friends and keep in contact. I even have staff who used to work under me visiting me during Chinese New Year!

SOME ADVICE

Always have the hunger to learn and the ambition to succeed. Always stay enthusiastic and have the energy to keep going. Take care of your physical health and mental health, and learn to find the delicate balance between work and your personal life.

REVELLING IN THE PEOPLE ASPECT OF HER JOB

NAME: Shervonne Ho DEGREE: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Business and Management, SIM-UOL, 2013 ROLE: Principal Specialist Recruiter, Banking and Financial Services EMPLOYER: SearchAsia Consulting Pte Ltd

MY JOB

My team covers the Banking and Financial Services space, and I manage some of the accounts. I am responsible for assisting our clients meet hiring goals by prospecting and attracting qualified talents. As I take care of the full life cycle of the recruiting process, this entails sourcing and screening candidates, coordinating the interview process, as well as facilitating offers and employment negotiations, all while ensuring both clients and candidates have a pleasant experience. In addition, I have to build strong rapport and relationships with clients and senior level candidates, and keep myself abreast of market movement.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

I was referred to SearchAsia by a friend when I was working in a bank after graduation. I eventually agreed to speak with the Division Manager and Team Lead as I had heard good things about the organisation. Their interview styles were friendly and warm, more of a sharing session than a technical interview, and it made me feel like they wanted to know me more as a person, rather than assessing me based on my experience. I then met the CEO and HR Manager and got an offer shortly after.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

I love the people aspect of my job! My role requires me to constantly build connections with people, and it opens horizons about different personalities and backgrounds. You learn to read, understand and handle different people which hone your interpersonal skills to a level that many other jobs cannot provide. To me, this is an important life skill no matter where you go or what job you do. The challenge and sense of achievement when you break down walls keeps me on my toes and motivates me. Working with people can also be challenging as we have emotions and different ways of thinking. Often times, we find ourselves managing expectations of different people all at the same time. But that is life and the beauty of my job!

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

It makes my day when my clients and candidates come back to me because they know I can help them. And when you explain your challenges or share your opinions with them, they understand and commit to work with you. I am extremely happy when clients tell me that I am the only recruiter who can fill their positions, it is a proud moment! Also, my relationships with some clients and candidates have evolved to a personal level, where our conversations go beyond work and business.

SOME ADVICE

Be open! I had never imagined myself as a recruiter, simply because I am an introvert and making conversation with complete strangers can be tough. However, with guidance and practise, it is not so difficult.

USING LESSONS LEARNT TO BENEFIT CLIENTS

NAME: L B Thasleem Fiross DEGREE: Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Accounting and Finance, SIM-UOL, 2008 ROLE: Assistant Manager EMPLOYER: Stone Forest

MY JOB

My job is to provide routine accounting services to a portfolio of clients from various industries, using different accounting software, such as ACCPAC, XERO, QBO, and MYOB. In addition, I offer advice to my clients, especially new start-ups that are totally new to the statutory requirements, like annual filing of accounts. I also assist them in their monthly payment administration, such as processing vendors’ bills, expenses and payroll, all while ensuring their cash flow is healthy. As an assistant manager, I also guide two other members in managing their portfolios, review their work and ensure their outputs are in line with the accounting and the firm’s quality standards.

HOW I GOT MY JOB

I got this job through JobStreet, where I was looking for an opportunity to grow after moving on from my first job with a smaller company. I underwent two rounds of job interviews: one with the HR personnel and the other with the firm’s director. It was casual discussions where I shared about myself, my past working experience and the expectations of the new incumbent. The trickiest part was vying with other contenders, and I had to compromise on the remuneration package. However, what mattered most to me at that moment was to secure the job and prove my capability. What set me apart from the rest was that I displayed qualities of a good team player, could communicate well with others, was open to suggestions, my passion in accounting and my thirst to keep learning.

THE HIGHS AND LOWS

I enjoy working with my team members, delegating jobs and coordinating with one another to achieve goals. Words of appreciation from our clients give me a sense of job satisfaction, and validation that I have done well at my job. These motivate me to work harder. The job environment here is very dynamic and we are always learning new things. For instance, by learning how to use new technologies, we can streamline work processes and minimise tedious work like data entry. Some of the more challenging aspects are time crunches, where I have to put in additional time so that our clients can meet their statutory deadlines. This is usually done while managing other projects, and patiently explaining financial jargons to clients who do not have finance or accounting backgrounds.

MY HAPPIEST MOMENT AT WORK

I climbed up the corporate ladder from accounts senior to team leader, and now to assistant manager through hard work, dedication and support from my supervisors. I have even received the I Create A Remarkable Experience (i.C.A.R.E) award for providing remarkable experience to clients!

SOME ADVICE

This is a career where you put your accounting knowledge to use on businesses from different industries with the help of various accounting software. It is how we serve our clients and assist them in their finances.
