management and process improvement. There is a growing need for companies to

be specialised in their customer experience and journey, which is forcing customer

service in companies to be more quality driven, work more closely with internal

departments, drive performance and standards, and improve cost structure. This

makes Singapore a more specialised market with fewer call centre roles and more

niche roles. Industries such as education, telecommunications, consumer/ FMCG,

Tell us what you do at Contact Singapore.

Contact Singapore is an alliance of the Singapore Economic

Development Board (EDB) and the Ministry of Manpower. Our

agency works to engage overseas Singaporeans and global

talent to work, invest and live in Singapore. We also actively link

Singapore-based employers with professionals to support the

growth of Singapores key industries. As Assistant Director of

Marketing Communications, I oversee collateral development

and production, as well as manage communications initiatives

job opportunities in Singapore.

What other agencies have you served with before your

current position?

was as an Executive marketing the China-Singapore Suzhou

and Vietnam Singapore Industrial Parks. I switched portfolios

in 1999 and joined the Corporate Communications Division

where I handled corporate events as well as supported the

marketing of various industries including Biomedical Sciences,

Chemicals and Precision Engineering. In 2008, I made the

decision to step out of my comfort zone and left EDB to join a

local bank. Two years later, however, I returned to join Contact

Singapore as an Associate. I worked on marketing and public

relations for the South Korean and Indian markets for two years

before I was appointed Assistant Director.

What made you leave the Public Service, and why did you

decide to return?

It wasnt an easy decision to make but I really wanted to

experience working in the private sector. My two years in

banking were a good experience. I acquired new skills and

knowledge, and my colleagues were great too. However, I

began to question whether my work could be more meaningful

Eventually, this desire to make a real contribution pushed me

to rejoin the Public Service, and I am happy with my decision.

Ngee Ann Polytechnic alumna Eileen Ng doesnt

have a degree, but that hasnt held her back in any

way. Drawing from her rich experiences in both

the public and private sectors, Eileen put her knowledge

and skills to action and rose through the ranks to her

current appointment as Assistant Director of the Marketing

Communications Division at Contact Singapore. She

shares why she enjoys working in the Public Service and

gives her view on what it takes to achieve professional

What makes EDB a good place to work?

I really appreciate that EDB gives us equal opportunities to

personal drive, work performance and experience that matter

not a degree holder but that has never held me back in any

way. When I shared with my supervisor that I did not intend

to get a degree anytime soon, she assured me that I would

be assessed according to my work performance rather than

Director within two years based on my performance.

CAREER EXPERTDear Chris,

want to start in a new job early next year. When is the best time to start applying, now or then?

Regards,Abdullah

Dear Abdullah,

If you want to start a new job early next year

it would be a good idea to start applying

for jobs right now as the recruitment

process can take two to three months to

complete. By making job applications now

you can line up interviews in December,

and hopefully receive a job offer before

companies take time off over Christmas

and the New Year. That way you can enjoy

the holidays too and start fresh in January.

If you decide to apply for jobs in January

you could be waiting until March or

April before you start your new role as

companies sometimes dont fully return

to work until February. So, unless youre

planning on staying in your existing job

for longer, or want to take an extended

break yourself over the festive season, we

suggest updating you resume and drafting

some cover letters today!

Candidates can feel more confident in

2015 improving economic conditions in

Singapore are making companies moreconfident about their hiring plans, so its

a good time to take stock of your career.

A recruiting expert can help develop a

game plan for finding your next job by

matching the best one for you and your

career aspirations in the short, medium

and long-term.

Regards,

Chris Mead

What is one trait you look for in

n interview candidate?

part from a list of behavioural skills and

ompetencies required of KPMG professionals, the

ne trait that forms the basis of everything else is a

ositive mindset and attitude. To me, there are many

apabilities which are innate, learnt or developed,

ut without the right attitude, the other attributes

ould simply be meaningless. A positive attitudepically reflects a persons willingness to learn,

penness to try different things and a constructive

indset when faced with difficult challenges.

How can employees make a lasting

mpression on you at work?

n employee can make a lasting impression by

ontributing positively to problem-solving. There

re usually two kinds of people at work when they

re confronted by problems: those who react to

roblems, but provide nothing constructive to the

solutioning process; and those who step back,

nalyse the problem, present various ideas and

ptions, and help the team to arrive at certain

ssumptions which have been systematically

ought through. The latter is obviously the better

the two.

n the flip side, employees who make the

ast positive impressions are those who react

motionally to a situation, blame everyone else for

e problem, and those who add to the complexity

y making negative statements and influencing

hers with his or her negativity.

What is the biggest business

hallenge you see in your

ndustry now?

my view, one of the biggest business

hallenges has not changed dramatically

ver the years. This challenge remains ourbility to attract, develop and retain our most

lented people. As my industry relies heavily

n intellectual capital, the ability to service our

ients is dependent on the quality of people

e have in our firm. In more specific terms, it

about how capable we are in delivering our

rofessional service offerings, delighting our

ustomers and inspiring confidence in the

xtremely competitive marketplace. These

would include providing deep sector knowledge

and guidance, possessing the necessary client

relationship skills and working effectively in

teams across service lines and geographies.

Our competitive advantage is about having the

right people as that would significantly impact

our goal of being the preferred supplier of

professional and consultancy services.

Where would you like to be inyour career five years from now?

I foresee that in five years, my focus will remain on

our people and talent agenda, but I would certainly

like to see further innovations in our ability to

engage with our people and build a successful

leadership pipeline to secure the firms future as a

preferred employer and suppl ier. Most importantly,

I would like to leave behind a legacy of progressive

talent practices which will significantly impact our

people. Once this is achieved, I believe the future

will be in the capable hands of leaders who will

bring our business ambitions to even greater levels

of success, provide the best career opportunities

for our people and those who will continue to

positively contribute to the communities we touch.

What is your definition of a

lifelong learner?

A lifelong learner is someone who embraces

the philosophy of continuous learning. It does

not matter if it benefits his or her professional

or personal life. Lifelong learners are those who

embrace change and are willing to open their

minds to knowledge or conventions which are

often outside their comfort levels. As we age, we

risk forming fixed assumptions about the world.

We stick to old conventions because they are tried

and proven, and avoid the road less travelled.

Finally, we pass down prescriptive advice on

many things because we embrace familiarity

and believe we know it all. The reality is that

knowledge is compounding at such an amazing

rate due to technological advances in networking

and connectivity that it is virtually impossible to

exhaust your learning opportunities. I believe that

lifelong learning will no longer be a choice but a

matter of survival especially if we aim to be on

this earth for a long, long time.

TIPS:

Face reality. Leaders cant solve problems if they dont acknowledge their existence.

If there are sacrifices to be made, leaders should step up and make the greatest

sacrifices themselves.

Leaders must have the help of all their people to devise solutions and to implement them.

Here are seven lessons for leaders charged with leading their organizations through a crisis:

Lesson 1: Leaders must face reality.Reality starts with the person in charge. Leaders need to look

themselves in the mirror and recognize their role in creating the problems. Then they should gather

their teams together and gain agreement about the root causes. Widespread recognition of reality is

the crucial step before problems can be solved. Attempting to find short-term fixes that address thesymptoms of the crisis only ensures the organization will wind up back in the same predicament.

In order to understand the real reasons for the crisis, everyone on the leadership team must be

willing to tell the whole truth. Leaders cant solve problems if they dont acknowledge their existence.

Lesson 2: No matter how bad things are, they will get worse.Faced with bad news, many leaders

cannot believe that things could really be so grim. Consequently, they try to convince the bearers of bad

news that things arent so bad, and swift action can make problems go away.

This causes leaders to undershoot the mark in terms of corrective actions. As a consequence, they

wind up taking a series of steps, none of which is powerful enough to correct the downward spiral.

It is far better for leaders to anticipate the worst and get out in front of it. If they restructure their cost

base for the worst case, they can get their organization healthy for the turnaround when it comes

and take advantage of opportunities that present themselves.

Lesson 3: Build a mountain of cash, and get to the highest hill.In good times leaders worry

more about earnings per share and revenue growth than they do about their balance sheets. In a

crisis, cash is king. Forget about earnings-per-share and all those stock market measures. The

question is, Does your organization have sufficient cash to survive the most dire circumstances?

Lesson 4: Get the world off your shoulders.In a crisis, many leaders act like Atlas, carrying the

weight of the world on their shoulders. They go into isolation, and think they can solve the problem

themselves. In reality, leaders must have the help of all their people to devise solutions and to

implement them. This means bringing people into their confidence, asking them for help and ideas,

and gaining their commitment to painful corrective actions.

Lesson 5: Before asking others to sacrifice, first volunteer yourself. If there are sacrifices to

be made and there will be then the leaders should step up and make the greatest sacrifices

themselves. Everyone is watching to see what the leaders do. Will they stay true to their values?

Will they bow to external pressures, or confront the crisis in a straight-forward manner? Will they be

seduced by short-term rewards, or will they make near-term sacrifices in order to fix the long-term

situation?

Lesson 6:Never waste a good crisis.When things are going well, people resist major changes

or try to get by with minor adaptations. A crisis provides the leader with the platform to get things

done that were required anyway and offers the sense of urgency to accelerate their implementation.

Lesson 7:Be aggressive in the marketplace.This may sound counter-intuitive, but a crisis offers

the best opportunity to change the game in your favor, with new products or services to gain market

share. Many people look at a crisis as something to get through, until they can go back to business

as usual. But business as usual never returns because markets are irrevocably changed. Why

not create the changes that move the market in your favor, instead of waiting and reacting to the

changes as they take place?
