Sony Europe’s Post

👩🏫 It's always fab to spend time with our clients, never more so than when I can be helping future talent find their way in the #EarlyCareers space. 👋 As the #PlacementStudents at Sony Europe come to the end of their year in industry we talked about the challenges of the #Graduate marketplace, the competition (avg of 86 candidates per graduate role (Institute of Student Employers data), and key differentiators and resources. Some great questions as ever regarding #AI, #PsychometricTests, and the incredible variable assessment process. 💭 Key takeaways: • Do your research - know who you are, who you want to work with (it's a mutual choice), and why it should be you • Attend events - virtual work experience, in-person, or 'chat with' sessions (if there isn't, it may well prompt them to start) • Register your interest - Don't be slow (think of those 85 other super keen candidates). Have that CV and content ready, and fill in all the boxes on the ATS (accurately, with the correct case and spelling, and add in all your key skills) • Ask for accommodations if needed • Be brave - seek the opportunities, and acknowledge and showcase your achievements - own it! • Be tenacious, and patient - keep at it, it can take a while. Thanks to Claire Bowden and Niki Morrison for inviting me along, and good luck in the next stage of their careers to all our graduating SPYS.

It's kinda crazy when you look back and realize who drastically changed the course of your life. Meet Peter: My friend, mentor & a very average surfer ;) (this is a story about taking a chance on people) In 2012, I completed an internship at Philips. In 2013, a mid-senior-level marketing role opened up. Fresh from my internship,  with very little experience and a whole lot of dreams & determination... I applied for the position. The other candidates had 10-20 years more experience. (I mean, can you see the confidence here?) Guess who got the job? Your boy did! 😎 My manager, Peter, saw: ✔️My drive, ✔️My willingness, and ✔️My positive go-getter energy. And took a chance on me. He believed skills could be taught. But drive? Not really. And that is how I ended up as a  ↳ 24-year-old, dashing marketing manager at Philips. I worked there for 3 years before pursuing other things. But, Peter and I stayed in touch. ↳ we became good friends. 🍻 Last week, Peter visited Bali, and we got talking. I asked him why he hired me back then.  ↳ He said... he saw himself in me. 🥺 (I know, I'll pause for you to wipe your tears) Now, Peter may not know this, but his belief  ↳ shaped how I run my business today. → I hire people for their drive. Because like him,  ↳ I believe skills can be taught. My friend, Take a chance on people if you have an opportunity.  ↳ You'll impact more lives than one. Crazy how the actions you take & the people you meet can shape your future in ways you can’t even imagine. P.S. Are you still in touch with your colleagues from your first job?

I had the pleasure of spending time and making a presentation to our class of 2024 summer interns at LG Electronics North America. The purpose was to share my career journey and share my roles, responsibilities, and experiences. I wanted to leave them with valuable advice that was passed on to me early in my career, as they begin their journey in the business world after graduation. 1) Your career isn’t going to be defined by one job. Don’t stress, you will find your rhythm 2) Ask questions…knowledge is power for making informed decisions and shows people that you want to learn 3) Don’t be a keyboard warrior – get off your chair and have a conversation 4) Be comfortable….being uncomfortable. Adversity will make you more confident 5) Have a plan when tackling a project and share it with stakeholders before you implement. Clearly state your objectives, desired result, set KPIs and success metrics. Get their buy-in! 6) Mistakes happen – embrace it, own it, and learn from it 7) You're not going to like everyone you work with, and they may not like you. However, you need to learn how to work with each other 8) Participate in a 401k financial program from your employer on your start date - max the contribution #LGElectronics, #LIFESGOOD
