"FINANCIAL LITERACY FOR FRESH GRADUATES" BY MAYBANK.

Lecturer shares about interning at a bank

-In reality, there is a mismatch between the expectations of many students and the reality of the workplace Also many people think that corporate life is, for example, stressful But many of my colleagues were much calmer than I expected, and they were actually even my managers and bosses, with whom I met on a rotating basis. They were very helpful and they always encouraged me to ask a lot of questions. So for those of you who are really interested in joining the corporate world, don't be afraid to ask questions. But sometimes you can find the answers on your own first. For example, typing it in on Google or figuring it out yourself before asking can save time. Because the manager is always there and always willing to help you. Constantly you will get to just ask your manager, but understand that your manager is also really busy and does need time.

How to adapt to the bank (share focus, adapt to your profession)

-There are a lot of challenges at the beginning, a lot of people use a lot of financial jargon, and acronyms that take time to figure out. Did a lot of interaction and visualization in the workplace and came back with a lot of knowledge of financial companies and finance. Had to work very hard and did try to learn it all when I would close one of my colleagues. Was there constantly asking questions like what is intellectual property or certain terms unique to him. If you follow the right people on Instagram, I think the right channels will actually lead you to like all these unit trusts, ASBs, etc.

-advice to actually get in the right mindset to learn Don't just get beaten down on it There are a lot more resources on the internet and social media now than we think, and it's possible to connect with some people on LinkedIn and get your insights. If you ask the right questions, if you do your own stand up and just keep trying to motivate yourself, it will become much easier.
