If it isn't in you, perhaps that's only because you are not in it
I graduated this May 2018 with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) from the National University of Singapore, with a GPA of 3.54. In university, I was actively involved in NUSSU BIZCOM (Business Committee). I undertook several positions in the club such as Training Executive, Marketing Director as well as Project Director and Advisor in my senior years.

Advisor - Oversaw the Marketing and Programs departments - Proposed to do Mini Lucky Draw Sessions to increase hype and the idea was accepted - Recognized for solving the issue of limited fund by reducing the logistics expenses by $2000 without compromising the logistical items needed to meet the bazaar’s needs. With the extra fund, lucky draw prizes namely iPad Mini 2, Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 and Beats by Dr.Dre earphones could be purchased - Saved $600 on COMPASS license required to play music by collaborating with Raffles Hall, King Edward Hall, NUS Resonance and NUS EDM Club to bring in free live student performances - Liaised with POKKA, Wall’s Ice Cream and LiHo to hand out 1500 free beverages, ice creams and bubble teas
Ambition
In the future
I believe in "My career, My responsibility" and I am committed to take on as many complex assignments as my position would allow in order to gain exposure and new skills. In five years time, I hope to move into my first management role and be seen as someone with deep expertise in my area.
