Company	Ferrari
Industry	Automotive
Location	Singapore
Position Type	Internship
Post Date	25 February 2016
Closing Date	n.a

Employer Description

Ferrari's story officially began in 1947 when its first road car, the 125 S, emerged from the gate of no. 4 Via Abetone Inferiore in Maranello. The iconic two-seater went on to win the Rome Grand Prix later that year and shortly thereafter was developed into a refined GT roadster. The company has travelled a long way since then, but its mission has remained unaltered: to make unique sports cars that represent the finest in Italian design and craftsmanship, both on the track and on the road. The very definition of excellence and sportiness, Ferrari needs no introduction. Its principal calling card is the numerous Formula One titles it has won: a total of 16 constructors’ championships and 15 drivers’ championships.

Responsibilities

As a Marketing & Sales Analyst, you will work on a full range of responsibilities in our Commercial team, supervised by our Marketing Manager. Your main responsibilities will include key data collection & analysis of relevant Marketing and CRM indicators based on the Ferrari Dealer-score-card. You will understand the importance of Marketing KPIs and their commercial impact to drive business development. Add event management support on national level, as well as preparing management reporting. And you will also be accountable for promoting Ferrari’s corporate events across the dealer network identifying business opportunities and evaluating best practice initiatives within the region.

Qualifications

You will ideally be recent graduate (eligible for internship) or in your final year in a Business degree with excellent academic results. Ideally you will not only have a passion for automotive and/or the luxury market but also have gained a prior professional insight in a structured Marketing environment. Of course you have a solid first understanding of luxury environment and the specific expectations of our clients and prospects. Previous exposure to Project Management responsibilities would be an asset.

Event Newsletter: NTU GSC and BestTop – Career Talk Series II (Ideal Jobs for Graduating Students)

Newsletter: NTU GSC and BestTop – Career Talk Series II (Ideal Jobs for Graduating Students)

In collaboration with NTU Graduate Students and Alumni Career Network, BestTop has invited 3 distinguished speakers for Career Talk Series II. With a full lecture room of NTU students, Mr William Tan, Dr Tony Jin and Ms Clara Jiang shared first-handed job seeking processes, resume writing techniques and the importance of Social Media in job searching.

During the talk, William spoke from his perspectives of Director at Norman Search Partners. He emphasized the common stereotypes many people have towards Hiring Managers. And as Hiring Manager himself, he does look for 3P (Performance, Potential and Personality) when screening candidates! Other than that, by knowing the internal candidate selection process, students are also recommended to customize their resume to stand out from the crowd. This will certainly win a chance of interview at last.

Followed by William’s insightful talk, Tony (Co-founder and CEO of BestTop Consulting Pte Ltd) shared with students some practical techniques of resume writing. He emphasizes the mistakes most students made when writing their resume. “How to make your resume attractive and outstanding?” “What to do if you do not have any internship experiences?” “What is the suggested structure of a resume?” Tony answered the frequently answered questions raised by students during his talk.

Different from William and Tony’s sharing; Clara (HR consultant at Randstad) provided an alternative job-seeking approach to students. Social media, instead of just connecting you and your friends, is also an excellent platform to find jobs! During the talk, Clara gave real-life experience of how she landed a job through the use of Linkedin. She also advised students to expand their social network from time to time. “You will never know if the person sitting next to you is the potential hiring manager who will get you a job one fine day.” said Clara.

The success of this career talk is kindly supported and organized by NTU Graduate Students and Alumni Career Network. BestTop would like to extent our thanks and appreciation to 3 speakers, IEEE Young Professionals and NTU students for the warm welcome and gesture. Till next time! :)

Singapore Downturn? Here's The List Of Companies Cutting Jobs Over The Past Few Months

Over the past few months, Singapore has been hit with news of companies laying off employees. If the signs of global downturn is not clear enough yet, you’re probably still staying inside a very comfortable bubble. (author: Jacky Yap)

Here’s the list of the companies laying off employees since late last year, along with companies that have announced that they are undergoing cost cutting:

1. Standard Chartered

Global bank Standard Chartered has laid off a number of people in Singapore late last year as it axed 15,000 jobs globally. Its previous workforce globally is at 86,000, and currently employs about 7,000 staffs in Singapore.

A senior StanChard Singapore staff told Channel News Asia that they are distracted and confused about what they should do next. “We are certainly not in a position to negotiate better salaries with other potential employers. The uncertainty is quite scary. We are neither in a position to pick up nor refuse the not-so-attractive job offers in our hands.”

2. HSBC

HSBC has announced that they will be freezing salaries, hiring in 2016 globally in battle to cut costs. “As flagged in our Investor Update, we have targeted significant cost reductions by the end of 2017,” a spokeswoman for HSBC told Reuters. The cost cutting measures will affect the bank’s more than 3,000 employees in Singapore.

However, it has also announced that it will be establishing a larger presence in Singapore as part of the company’s move to incorporate in Singapore.

3. RWS

According to a report on Straits Times, more than 30 employees at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) have been laid off earlier in February as the gaming sector faces cost pressures around the world. The laid off was due to overstaffing and it is not an isolated case. There are currently about 12,000 people working at Resorts World Sentosa.

4. Rakuten

Rakuten, an ecommerce site in Singapore, has also shared that they are shutting down their Rakuten Marketplace in Singapore, as well as laying off 150 staffs from the company. Rakuten would no longer process new purchases from March onwards, two years after it began operations in Singapore since January 2014.

5. Maersk

Maersk Line, one of the world’s top container shipping company, has recently merged its Singapore and Hong Kong regional offices. Last November, Maersk also shared new plans to reduce its network capacity and announced that it will be cutting 4,000 jobs from its land-based staff of 23,000 by 2017.

6. Yahoo Singapore

According to a report from Channel News Asia, Yahoo Singapore has been laying off some employees as part of the company’s move to revamp its Internet Business. No details were disclosed on exactly how many employees were laid off, but what we do know is that the Singapore operations will continue.

7. Barclays

Barclays has also announced that it is slashing 1,000 jobs worldwide. Out of the global layoffs, more than 10 employees from the equities and local market rates teams in Singapore will be retrenched, according to Business Times. Barclays Singapore currently employs about 3,200 staff.

8. Royal Bank of Scotland

Image Credit: Bloomberg

Royal Bank of Scotland has also announced that they could be cutting as many as 80% of the jobs in its investment banking unit over the next four years. A Straits Times report also said that In July, the Royal Bank of Scotland trimmed its presence here in Singapore, laying off “hundreds” of people.

9. Credit Suisse

The same Straits Times report also shared that Credit Suisse announced that 4,000 jobs job cuts globally, although no layoffs are expected in the Asia-Pacific region yet.

10. Deutsche Bank AG

Deutsche Bank AG, a German global banking and financial services company headquartered in Frankfurt, is considering cutting as many as 8,000 jobs, which is about 25% of its workforce. It employs more than 2,100 staff in Singapore, though there are no news of any layoffs yet.
