Alliance Construction Materials - Woo Shiu Hong Bonton Firstly, upon handling the HR routine duties, I can familiarize with the hands-on experience in this business field, which significantly broadened my horizons and allowed me to learn beyond textbooks. I can apply my knowledge and skills to practice, which further deepens my understanding of HR concepts. Secondly, I have learned that thorough preparation is crucial before a project occurs since rehearsal or potential risk management is the key to success. Thirdly, I have gained greater confidence and better communication skills after arranging interviews with candidates and answering HR enquires through phone calls. Lastly, I understood the importance of teamwork because effective collaborations among team members can greatly increase the efficiency of task achievements and goal attainments. |

Bank of Singapore - Chan Hei Kan HR operation in the real world is much the same as what we learned in class. What I gained from this internship is not limited to those technical skills but also soft skills. At school, you can choose your friends and group mates. You may not be required to work with your negative polar people if you want to. However, you need to work with people who have different work styles. To me, being a good team player is not just strength. It is an essential element in the business world. This internship allows me to contact colleagues from different departments, both front and back office, and work closely with the Singapore HR team. I master how to actively listen and understand the other’s point of view. Also, I absorb the ways of effective communication through the practices of my teammates.

The opportunity to present to Managing Director was precious and inspiring when I listened to other group’s presentation. Teammates and supervisor in URA are encouraging and helpful to inspire me through real-life situations. I have plenty of chances to utilize my vast working experience and creativity, as a young and new teammate.
