“I first met my mentor at the Dinner with REDbird Award Program Mentors. Later
she arranged a visit to her company and made time to share her experiences
with me out of her busy schedule. Through the visit and sharing session, I have
developed a better understanding of the environment in a financial institute and
gained insights of the real business world.”
“My mentor helps me set up my goal for the coming year and continues to give
me assistance and advice on how to realize my goal. Although the mentorship
has just begun, I can feel her zeal towards this mentoring relationship. Her
valuable experience sharing is very helpful to my career planning.”

"The trainings offered by the REDbird Award Program
are definitely diversified and useful. I have learnt a lot in
the previous years, such as dining etiquette, delivering
community services, MBTI personality types and
teamwork skills. The upcoming trainings in 2010-11 will be
just as exciting, if not more. Come and join us!"
“As a Year 3 student, I look forward to meeting Ms Tina
Liu in the Image Building seminar in the coming year.
Last year’s Personal Branding sessions provided me with
numerous practical tips which will be particularly useful
when it comes to job hunting. And it is never too early
for Year 1 students to learn how to make themselves
presentable in any event or occasion!”
“To l ive out REDbird’s commitment to serve the
community, I have joined many community services in
Hong Kong. But conducting service projects in the US
would be an entirely new experience! I really look forward
to this opportunity in the coming year where I can apply
what I have learnt in the last two years, and get a taste of
community service outside Hong Kong.”
