Student Testimonial: Yu Fan

Academic Program: Master of Finance

We had arranged 3 meetings in this program and discussed different issues which I might encounter in a real workplace. My mentor was very enthusiastic and patient, she answered lots of my questions during the conversations. Due to the similar cultural and academic backgrounds, she knew exactly what were my concerns and what I really want to know.

During this program, I had a better understanding of what soft skills are preferred by employers and where to find the relevant resources for developing those skills. My mentor also assisted me to build up my personal confidence and gave me useful advice on how to improve my resume and get a good impression on the interview, which helped me in how to prepare myself before applying for jobs.

My mentor also encouraged me to participate in networking events and told me to be confident when interacting with industry professionals or working in different environments. She also indicated some career prospect about my field which allow me to have a clear direction to plan my next steps.

I highly recommend international students who want to get more information about their industry and work experience to join this program. Through this program, students will get personal guidance and advice about their career. In addition, the mentors will be carefully matched with relevant backgrounds, they could easily understand your thoughts and doubts. By joining this program, mentees could learn different strategies and tips to approach more opportunities and what you should prepare for your future career.
