Malvern Wong (Canada)
Class of 2021
Pre-MBA: Individual Marketing Consultant
MBA Internship: Strategic Marketing Intern for Global Marketing, Energy Management, Schneider Electric
Hi! My name is Malvern Wong. I am honored to say that I am an MBA Candidate in HKUST’s 2019 intake. This year has been a unique experience for many reasons, but that’s what an MBA should be: A once-in-a-lifetime experience.
HKUST’s offer of a place on a world-class Asia-based MBA course in Hong Kong was an attractive proposition for me. I wanted to broaden my career opportunities beyond marketing into new management and strategy roles in Asia. The fact that Hong Kong is an international hub and a gateway to the Asia-Pacific region made the decision a no-brainer for me.
Within four months in the program, I was honored to receive a part-time internship at Schneider Electric as a Strategic Marketing Intern. Beyond the quality of education at HKUST, one of the things that I appreciated the most is the small class sizes. This is one benefit of the small intake, and means that you have good access to resources, particularly the Career Professional Development (CPD) team.
From the very beginning of the course, the team works diligently with you to help set career goals, polish your CV, and begin marketing yourself to potential employers. The CPD team played a big role in helping me land this position. Not only do they provide a platform on which potential employers and employees can connect, but they also make sure that you are well prepared for any interviews with potential employers.
As soon as I heard of the opportunity at Schneider Electric, the CPD team was diligent in connecting me on short notice with one of the many remarkable external career coaches available, to help me prepare for my interview.
