Workshop Feedback from our Students

 

I am fortunate to be awarded a position in Barclays Summer Operations. I would like to sincerely thank BIZ Career Services for providing me with the support and guidance during my preparation i.e. group discussion stimulation. Thank you very much!

Thanks for giving me tips on how to improve my profile as well as giving me advice on preparing for the Assessment Centre - it certainly helped tremendously. I am happy to say that the Assessment Centre on Saturday went well and Barclays Capital has extended an offer to me. Thanks very much again!

Thank you for organising the Career Planning & Management class for us and taking time off to share with us and give us useful advice. It was indeed beneficial and I wish I could have taken them earlier to better reap the benefits of it.

The competency based interview workshop is very useful with applicable skills that can be used in the future. It helps us to understand how interviews work, what type of questions they will ask. This enables me to pre-empt and prepare before the interview.

I enjoyed the case interview workshop and the main learning point is how to be successful at a case interview and certain guidelines to follow for this kind of interviews. The speaker is clear and the structure of the delivery was good.

I enjoyed the practical investing workshop a lot. It is one of the best workshops that I have attended. I personally think the accumulator and the CDOs are the most useful. It is because with the proper leverage through these tools that you can earn exponentially but similarly if you fail to control, you will also lose exponential amounts.

I would like to say a big thank-you for organizing the fund management workshop! It has been a wonderful journey of 4 weeks and even though the time was short, the amount of knowledge and exposure I have gained about the various aspects of the hedge fund and private equity industry was simply invaluable and priceless. I love the way which you brought in personal experiences in the banking field and shared with us some tips and tricks in securing an internship and jobs in the hedge fund and private equity industries; they are really useful pointers to guide clueless souls like us to work towards our elusive goals. You are a wonderful and inspiring speaker and I would really hope that you could come back to NUS for future workshops or talks. Hope we do get to reserve a seat from you first before it’s snatched up! :)

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the interview clinic. The interviewer I was assigned to was excellent and she gave me some good feedback with specific areas of improvement. I also appreciate the fact that she was open to giving tips on how I should manage my interviews for different functions/industries and draw parallels to my experience. The interview clinic definitely exceeded my expectations - thanks to BIZ Career Services for arranging the same.

The technical finance interview workshop gave me excellent insights into what I could do better in future interviews as well as good direction for my career ahead. Thank you for taking time out and helping & guiding us - your feedback is invaluable.

It was a wonderful three day Applied Corporate Finance workshop that you had conducted. It was indeed interesting to understand how organizations viewed corporate finance especially in FMCG industry. It was very interesting because academically only financing decisions, mostly to do with capital structure, are covered extensively under Corporate Finance. In your sessions it was much more integrative, where Corporate finance encompassed things that we studied in marketing electives (competitor analysis, impact of promotion/advertising spending on sales, brand value, customer behavior) and strategy electives (detailed SWOT analysis, porter's five forces etc).

Our one to one career counselling meeting and the discussion on my CV was very helpful. You leveraged your experience to zero-in on the recruiter perspective which I found invaluable. You communicated well in terms of career challenges, back-up plan and opportunities in today’s market place. Certainly keeping my options open and getting more proactive on the job-search are more at the forefront of my mind now. On a personal note, I am really grateful and appreciative of the great work that BIZ Career Services has done.
