Aim High & Go Beyond Your Major WANG Siqi, Luna BSc (Hons) Tourism Management Travel industry has always been one of the four pillar industries in Hong Kong. I foresee a great future in this industry and I decided to devote my efforts to improve myself in order to survive in this industry. I once worked as the Corporate Travel Officer of Swire Travel

and the Research Analyst of Horwath HTL Consulting Company. From the two WIEs, I learnt that communication skill is crucial in order to be successful in this industry. Since I am not a native speaker of Cantonese, to bolster the bond with
colleagues, I started to learn Cantonese to communicate with them in order that I could also understand the local culture of Hong Kong more. I also improved my communication and presentation skills to deal with business clients. Flexibility and working beyond colleagues’ expectation allow you to gain their trust with ease. To summarize my two WIE tips, I would say stepping out of our comfort zones is imperative and it also helps shape our future. Above all, I explored myself and found that I would like to work as a generalist that can rotate to different departments. Therefore, I targeted for the position of Management Trainee when applying for jobs. Though I have realized the bright future of tourism, I am an open-minded person who would not limit myself in specific industry. Therefore I would like to explore areas that enable me to learn more and unleash my potential, especially when it comes to my graduation job. During job hunting, I was very thankful to CAPS for their help. I sought help from Career Lab and the Mock Interviews also helped polish my interviewing skills. Since working in a prosperous business hub really requires a bit of network, joining recruitment talks and alumni sharing could help in this sense.
weaknesses could secure you a success in the future!
