On-site, virtual or VR interview? 🎙️ Here’s a secret look behind the scenes of “interviewing applicants” in VIRTUAL REALITY! I was a tech “interviewer” at this weekend’s Masyarakat Gemilang Conference 2024 and YOUth@M3 Networking Sessions organised by Yayasan MENDAKI at Google Singapore! 🫣 Tucked away in a conference room, I and several other professionals entered the metaverse into Meta Horizon Worlds to “interview” attendees and share our industry insights. 🗣️At the same time, there were many discussions and activities on redefining one’s definition of success and growing your personal brand through networking, self-reflection and exposure. 😱 In an increasingly competitive job market with more upskilling opportunities, our youth face higher stakes in their journeys to discover the right careers for themselves. 💼Having spoke to many young event attendees, I learned that while they are aware of the power of being the first and being open to different careers and learning opportunities, they are fearful and uncertain of how to prepare and land career opportunities in the end. The most insightful piece of advice I learned is not just to seek mentorship from professionals, but to actually take action by building your portfolio, sharing your achievements online, and learning relevant industry skills.
