Alvin Lim's Summary
My work is a game, a very serious game. - M. C. Escher (1898 - 1972)
And that is exactly how I perceive work. I believe that by seeing the fun in challenges set for me, I will have the motivation and determination to put my best foot forward in tackling them. Responsibility and results will definitely not be compromised while appreciating the process.
I have a keen interest in the finance sector. The ever-changing conditions of the markets thrill me. I aspire to be an outstanding analyst with the power to understand the forces behind these vicissitudes and use my knowledge to empower investors.
The rigour of the education system has furnished me with an analytical mind and the ability to seek creative solutions for problem solving. I believe in carrying myself with confidence and having an amicable disposition. I am comfortable with sharing my viewpoints and relish a fast-paced and vibrant discussion. I also enjoy working in a team, and feel that it brings out the strengths in each individual.
I revel in taking up leadership positions. In today's society, it is important to be able to take up the reins and initiate changes. I had held several key leadership roles, and my experiences build up the confidence, responsibility and people management skills necessary for the corporate world.
I believe in the importance of an all-rounded education. Other than striving for the best in academics, I also constantly develop my other interests. I have a strong passion for the sport of bowling. The focus and consistency required fires me up. The ever-changing lane conditions also hone skills of quick analysis and adaptability. I feel that these skills can be translated to the equally dynamic environment in my field of interest, finance.
My skills and experiences are coupled with a strong drive and thirst for knowledge, and I await the tests and opportunities of the corporate world.
