Post MBA, I joined a graduate programme (Account Manager) at Cisco Systems in Singapore. This was a desirable career change for me as I wanted to move from a technical role to a more business role
When I first joined the MBA class of 2013 here at HKU, I expected to break into Asset Management or Banking. After closely working with the Career Development and Training, I was given opportunities to visit companies of interest and to network with the professionals in the industry
From country perspective to regional view, I enjoyed amazing experiences not only in classes but also from time to time in communications with various well-known organizations, industrial leaders and passionate colleagues during HKU MBA life
Through the diverse exposures gained through HKU MBA, I had a solid platform from which to successfully change my career from Information Technology to Supply Chain Management
I believe the guidance I received from HKU MBA Career Development and Training during the job hunting process helped me develop the key skills required to succeed and such skills still resonate with me today
HKU MBA has helped me tremendously in terms of expanding business horizons, upgrading academic and professional competencies and most importantly, meeting professors, professionals, industry leaders and true friends
HKU’s alumni network has a good spread across Asia, with many alumni holding senior positions at large multi-national organisations. My first job after the MBA was obtained through the recommendation of an alumnus
One of my objectives in studying for an MBA was to find out which industry I wanted to continue my career in, and both the classes and the intensive interaction with classmates from a wide range of industries helped me to make a decision
HKU MBA Career Development and Training provided me with resources and assistance to reach this point, opening my mind to numerous ideas about exploring and developing which triggered the desire to invest in myself even further.
