What do you like about your job and the company?
As being a Product Sourcing Manager, I’m really enjoying working with different parties internally and externally. I’m participating in exciting projects and product development. Negotiation is quite challenging under the tough market circumstance. But when you work progressively, you can fell the sense of fulfillment and achievement, especially with the support from colleagues globally. From my personality perspective, I’d like to face different challenges and this position can fulfil my willingness, in terms of vendor management, product development, negotiations, etc.
Greatest achievements
In recent Employee Engagement Survey, my team achieved the score above the benchmarking, especially for the question with the highest score of “My manager provides me with the support I need to complete my work”. I have received the high recognition from line manager, appreciation from co-workers in terms of contribution, dedication, and engagement. I’m proud of the team achievement and hard-working spirit. The team has won the company annual award in past several years, e.g. “Collaboration” award in 2021.

Don't get used to something and stuck in your ways, keep an open mind and try to look for the value in the change, at the same time don't be scared to challenge or ask for more detail before you make up your mind, and if you still don't think it's the right thing be vocal but also be willing to try.

There isn't enough kindness in this world generally, but as a person that has to recruit is quite clearly obvious in most interviews when you are being your authentic self. As an engineer, you would often exclaim at the stereotypical management that you would hear about on the internet. As I grew into the position that you would hear stories around, and developing myself, I realised that all those are based on trying to second guess the answers that you think the interviewer would want to hear. Generally, I want to just find out about the person; approach an interview as an opportunity to show who you are, what you enjoy and what you are good at. Be open and honest with your answers and don't forget that an interview process is a two way process.
