CATALYST @ Starbucks

starbucks coffee.. must try greentea frappucino.. =p

My 3 weeks of holidays is filled with Career Carnival work which is mostly dealing with my team to call for companies for participation & sponsorship. Most local and private varsities' Career Fair is handled by their university's management centre. That's also somewhat special about UNITEN. I got to know only MMU, besides us had their career fair handled by students. I find this a plus point for the students as we do actually learn how to liaise with the corporate people, request for sponsorship, make calls and work out different methods to achieve our target.

1st season schedule.. all about ur career..

Apart from my work, I had also attended 2 workshops organized by the TalentEDGE company at Jaya1 Starbucks. WoW? Workshop at Starbucks? It's more like a night talk discussion session where you watched in 8TV late night (if you do, you will understand what i meant), except that this is way much more informative for us students regarding our future.

kenneth, SuSu and alfred @ Plugged..

The first season is an 8 weeks event entitled the Plugged series; which compromise 8 different topics every week as you can see in the schedule. The discussion involves not just students from various universities but also special guests from corporate world (even from the ministry). It's more like an open topic discussion focusing on career path rather than technicality on what you had learned in your varsities. This meeting will enable us students to interact with the potential employers and to understand what the job market is looking for at the moment; prospect employers (the guests) will be able to grasp on the thoughts of fresh graduates concern.

sleeping? or listening?

Those who are interested (students) can RSVP at catalyst@mytalentedge.com with your name, email, contact number, and university/college. Only 20 spots are allocated for students. UNITEN students who are interested can contact us @Career Unit (seen some of the familiar faces in the pictures?). There will also be 20% discount on the Starbucks beverages you purchase during the event at night. Worth it right, for those who crave for Starbucks coffee. You get to 'feast' on the food at a cheaper rate and on top of that, I believe you will obtain a priceless moment with the corporate figures. Follow the event more at twitter.com/talentedge ^^

lobster boss.. why bomb tiliban must always show the hand gesture? =.=!

There goes my 3 weeks of holidays. FYP2 progress = 0%. I am starting to feel the immense pressure and supervisor onslaught heat on my project. Thank God for the days through my varsities years and now left with the final semester to go. I am satisfied with the results achieved overall though it's not that excellent (started to accept the fact that maybe grades aren't the decisive point, you have other factors too which is far more important). I am hoping to achieve above than what I targeted in the end. 2 more subjects and a project to kill... ^^
