Reflecting on my recent journey, I am deeply grateful for the guidance and encouragement I received from my mentor, Assel MT, through the NUS Centre for Future-ready Graduates’ mentoring program. When I started, I felt uncertain about navigating the Singapore job market—networking, sending cold emails, and finding meaningful opportunities all seemed daunting.
With Assel’s unwavering support, I stepped out of my comfort zone, applied to over 100 jobs, and learned to embrace rejection as a stepping stone rather than a setback. Her words—“never lose hope, always come with scenarios, and never settle for less”—became my anchor throughout the process.
What began as a challenging and often discouraging path turned into a transformative learning experience. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her mentorship. Thank you, Assel, for believing in me and for making such a lasting impact on my journey.
