Hi Joan and Wai Yee I am delighted to inform you that I have received a full-time job offer from Barclays Capital to join them in July 2009. I will be joining their Sales team dealing chiefly in Fixed Income products for hedge-fund and institutional clients. I want to thnk you guys for all the career guidance provided right from the day I stepped into NUS Business School. Without you guys I can bet most of us would be a lot more clueless. Thanks again and do let me know if I can help you guys with anything in the future. It's the least I can do.   BBA Honours

Good evening Wai Yee, I would like to inform you that I have registered myself for the Financial Markets Internship Program and have been successfully offered an internship with Standard Chartered.   I would like to take this opportunity to thank yourself, Joan and the rest of the CSO for guiding me all the way - from the very beginning in CV critique to the one-on-one MAPP session with Joan, from the initial screening process by Joan again to the linking up of banks in this SFEMC-NUS program.   I will strive to perform my very best on this program, and the internship that awaits me. Thank you once again.    Lai Wai Kit, BBA Honours

Hi Joan Time really flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. My internship at the Bank of America Global Markets Group ended yesterday, and I would say that those were two very fruitful months spent in the Bank. I learnt so so much in terms of practical knowledge that can’t be taught in the classrooms.   I was rotated around the various desks in the trading room and got exposure to a myriad of instruments like options, spot, non-deliverable forwards, sales etc. The traders and staff were extremely helpful and patient with the interns, and they were certainly very friendly. With a family-like atmosphere and an exciting trading environment providing plenty of priceless learning opportunities, my time there was truly well-spent.   I would like to sincerely thank you and the MD at Bank of America for creating this wonderful opportunity for me. The Global Markets Program is really effective and I would be glad to offer any assistance for future batches of Business students in this Program.     Chua Nam Fei, BBA2

"This is to thank you for the wonderful efforts that you and your team have put in to making available the various internship/employment opportunities to us. I am glad to inform you that I got my internship at ConocoPhillips. I would be working with the Asia-Pacific Procurement team. The remuneration I must say has been above expectations.   Keep up the good work and I hope the rest of the batch can benefit from your initiatives as well.     Prashant Pundrik, MBA class of 2008

Hello Joan and Stephanie "Life is a sum of all your choices" -Albert Carmus (A French Novelist who clinched the 1957 Nobel Prize for Literature)- His quote resounds deeply within me and after reflecting how I have been blessed to reach this stage, I appreciate you both for granting me the opportunity to make such choices. Joan, I'm grateful for having introduced me to my very 1st Human Resource internship and the advice you have given me along the way even up till today, when I am now a graduate. These did open many doors during my career search. Furthermore, these elevated my confidence when I had to position myself during the various interviews. Finally, I found the Senior Sharing sessions ingenious. Not only did I find it beneficial for the juniors to be well aware of the available choices, but for me being invited to share my internship experiences, I felt these sessions hone my interviewing skills and the thought-provoking questions raised by the juniors made me carefully reflect on my career choice with Human Resource. Stephanie, I enjoyed the opportunity working with you in revamping my resume and receiving your guidance such as through the MAPP results. Through your constant feedback and job recommendations, these raised my self-awareness and reinforced my passion towards Human Resource. I believe with a heightened self-awareness and a greater passion, these translate into a greater discovery of the abundant choices that I could pursue within the domain of Human Resource. Meanwhile, do take care and all the best in your endeavours!   Gregory Ho, BBAH

Dear Yuk Meng   I do not know how to express my appreciation to you. I just got the offer from AXA. NUS Business School cannot be the top 3 in Asia without your contribution.   Liu Beijia, IMBA class of 2008

I would like to express my heartiest gratitude to you and BIZ Career Services for helping me find this opportunity with General Electric FMP. I was offered a place in this prestigious program last Friday. Looking back, I realize that each step of my job search and recruitment process has been so well assisted by CSO. I found MAPP assessment extremely useful in deciding my true career interest. Thanks for helping me with my resume and interview strategies. Also, the 1-day Assessment Center Workshop is a great experience for me to get through the AC round. I cannot describe here various other tips and resources that CSO provide. Not to mention the motivation and myriad job openings that you bring to us sometimes too nonchalant students. Thank you and please keep up the good work. I wish you all the best. Tran Ngoc Diep, Zinnia, BBA Honours

Once again, thank you. Zheng Kaiwen, BBA Honours

Dear Joan,   Thinking back, I really would not have gotten to where I am without your guidance. Your support, advice and expertise have all been instrumental and I really cannot thank you enough.

I'm looking forward to mroe opportunities to attend Biz Career Services events and get to learn more from your invaluable advices.   Huynh Tran Vy, BBA Honours

I have to congratulate the Career Office for doing such a great job in the past year. I was away on exchange in Beijing the last semester and was not really up to date on what was happening in the Business School for the past half a year. However, the email blasts about the various programs that the Career Office was organizing for students did pique my interest as they sounded really relevant and interesting. The most amazing thing when I returned was when I attended the Internship Briefing on Wednesday in a packed LT16 and almost everyone was in business attire. The enthusiasm and professionalism that you and your colleagues have managed to bring out in the bizaders is really something that I have not seen in my previous semesters here. I think that the school is definitely moving in the right direction in this aspect. So to you and your colleagues: keep up the good work!   Soh Kwan Hua, BBA Honours

Dear Joan It's good to hear from you despute your busy schedule! I had just attended the internship briefing and I must say it benefitted the Bizad students who had attended greatly. It is so encouraging to know that the Career Services are putting in so much effort to actively create opportunities to help students secure good internships and jobs.  BBA Honours

I attended the internship briefing and found it really useful. Thank you for organizing this informative briefing and make me realize the urgency and importance in securing a good internship. I must say that the BIZ Career Services has been very proactive in the recent year in helping the students with securing job opportunities and I am truly grateful for it.   Li Hongyi, BBA3

I write this letter just to thank you for the BBA Finishing School. The classes were over and I learnt many things new in this class. The speakers are professional and are experts in their field. Surely, BIZ Career Services Office is among what impress me much since the time I got into NUS. Thank you for the helpful BBA Finishing School. Bui Thien Thach, Aster, BBA1

Thanks for putting the BBA Finishing School together. It is great having a programme that consolidates all the different skills needed to give us a competitive edge in our career in future, and I'm glad NUS finally has someone initiating programmes as such. Charlene-Jayne Chang Wei-Ying, BBA2

It's really encouraging and fortunate to have BIZ Career Office guide me and provide learning opportunities along the way. I will bear in mind the pointers I've learned from you and will definitely put in more effort to work towards the right direction.     Lim Yanwei, BBA3

Thanks for all the great work you and your team had put in. With all the career talks and internship opportunities, I believe many of us will feel more equipped when we go out there to look for  our ideal jobs. Chen Zhaohui, BBA Honours

I just want to thank you and the BIZ Career office for preparing us so well for interviews. I've also attended the wine appreciation class which was very interesting. The finishing school and the portfolio bag are really useful. Oh another thing, the WetFeet is very useful and I hope more BBA students will make use of it. It helps me to be more confident as I expose myself to the possible questions. It helps removes pre-interview jitters. Have a good day everyone and have a safe trip to Shanghai, Joan! Tay Ee Pei Lydia, BBA2
