I had previous customer service experience, but studying the BTM helped me develop my skills further. It enabled me to work better with customers and unlock my full potential.” Upon graduating, Kalolaine began her search for work. This didn’t last long. Her cousin recommended that she apply for a position at Pasifika Consulting.

DR ERWIN LOSEKOOT Academic Head of Tourism Management Programmes erwinl@ais.ac.nz
“I said, well, I’ll just give it a try.
Kalolaine enrolled at AIS by transferring credits from her previous qualification from The University of The South Pacific. She finished the BTM in one and a half years instead of the regular three years, thanks to her cross-credits.
“They called me the next day and told me to come in for an interview.” She passed the interview stage. The next step was to give a presentation. Luckily, Kalolaine already had a lot of experience at AIS.

“When I talked with the interviewers later, they said most people who come for an interview don’t do well at the presentation stage. But AIS equipped me well with what I needed to know.” Six months into her employment, Kalolaine asked the company to help her with a job offer. “The answer I got was yes. I could do it straight away. I got my residency before my job search visa expired. “Now that I’m here, all the hard work was worth it.”
