Finding the Right Route
June Lo, Graduate, 2021, Diploma in Aviation Operations, recalls how she transitioned to pursue a career in aviation.
I was a public relations major. I was exploring new career options when I attended an information session of the Diploma in Aviation Operations. That was my 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 I learned about the rapid development of the local air cargo industry and the promising career prospects my company offered. Therefore, I picked this position as my first placement choice. I used to handle documents related to imports and exports and provide administrative support for the treatment of special goods during my placement. My supervisor recommended I join the company’s Operations Trainee Programme, a fast-track programme to my career aspiration. I have completed this 18-month programme and have 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!
