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! :)
