Our &ahead team, Carolina Yeo and Ngoc Pham had the opportunity to attend the Singapore Leaders Network (SGLN) event on 9th July 2024 in Singapore, and it was an incredible night. The debate on whether Singaporeans have what it takes to be global business leaders today sparked lively discussions and offered invaluable insights. Our distinguished debaters, Piyush Gupta, Michelle Khoo, Geraldine Chin, and Joel Shen, presented compelling arguments, highlighting both the strengths and areas for growth in Singapore’s leadership landscape. Our Key Learnings from the Event: 🖍 While Singapore possesses all the essential ingredients and immense potential to become a global business leader, there is always room for further growth for our leaders to continue representing us on the global stage. 🖍Any Singaporean company, whether privately owned or government-owned, deserves to be recognized, celebrated, and admired. 🖍It is crucial to celebrate the accomplishments of Singaporean leaders. By doing so, we inspire and motivate the next generation to pursue excellence. These insights resonate deeply with the mission of &ahead. We are dedicated to empowering individuals through their career transitions by providing the necessary skills, resources, and networks essential for leadership roles. Our goal is to support anyone at any stage of their careers, helping them achieve their full potential. A heartfelt thank you to Nadir Zafar, Lucian Lee, Dr. Swapna Dayanandan, PhD (Gerontology) / Mrs. Swapna Ramkumar, Khoo Rujun, Nigel Aziz and Cherize Zaidi, and the rest of the #SGLN team, and everyone for this wonderful event.  #SGLN #Leadership #Global #Singapore #Careerdevelopment #networkingevent

Last Friday, we hosted an exceptional interactive session on how to best prepare for #jobinterviews, featuring our guest expert Don Huang, division General Manager of L'Oréal Professional Products who shared his experience as a hiring manager. We had an enthusiastic group of participants, and we managed to address most of their questions. Key takeaways included: 🖍Future skills hiring managers are looking for include resilience, a growth mindset, potential, and motivation. 🖍Always come prepared to an interview: do your research, be ready to discuss challenges in the relevant field/industry, and demonstrate your interest and engagement with opinions and attitudes. 🖍Utilize your network to prepare for an interview. For example, talk to an industry expert or someone currently in the position you’re interviewing for to gather insights and additional perspectives. 🖍Build rapport with your interviewer (HR, hiring manager, etc.). Look for commonalities, use appropriate language, and relate to their stories, background, or education (such as a shared university or work experience in a particular country).
