Finding the Right Route
June Lo, Graduate, 2021, Diploma in Aviation Operations, recalls how she transitioned to pursue a career in aviation.
June Lo (June) was a public relations major. She was exploring new career options when she attended an information session of the Diploma in Aviation Operations. That was her cue to join the aviation industry.
The programme invited HR representatives from companies where interns were placed to talk about career prospects, company culture and so on. That's how she learned about the rapid development of the local air cargo industry and the promising career prospects her company offered. Therefore, she picked this position as her first placement choice. She used to handle documents related to imports and exports and provide administrative support for the treatment of special goods during her placement. Her supervisor recommended she join the company’s Operations Trainee Programme, a fast-track programme to her career aspiration. She has completed this 18-month programme and has been promoted to supervisor of Terminal Services. It is not about what you majored in or how much work experience you have — what matters most is finding the right route and going for it!
