CAREER EXPERTDear Chris,
Whats your tip on the best industry in which to get work at the moment?
Regards,
Pearlyn
Dear Pearlyn,
The STAR technique is a widely recognisedmethod to provide a complete answer to aninterview question that asks you for a real-lifeexample. It allows you to frame your answer in aclear and structured way so that an interviewercan easily extract the information they need.
STAR stands for Situation Task Action Result.
Most interviews today ask behavioural questions.The STAR technique allows you to answer suchquestions by linking a real-life example from your
past to a competency required in the job.
It involves: SSituation - Describe a situation you were in eg.
A colleague was struggling with performance.
TTask - Tell them what you decided to do eg. I satdown with my colleague to discuss how I couldhelp.
Action - Describe what you actually did eg. Igave my colleague examples of how I improvedmy own performance.
Result - Tell them what happened as a result ofyour actions eg. His/her performance improveddramatically.
We advise you to practice answering sampleinterview questions using this technique. Go backthrough your job history and identify severaldetailed examples that you can use to answerquestions in this way. Make sure you select at leastone example for every competency that the jobrequires.
In this way, youll be well prepared for yourinterview.
As a final note, the point most people forget toexpand upon is the result of the action they took.Naturally it is better to use an anecdote with apositive outcome, but if this isnt possible explain
what you learnt from the situation and how youwould do it differently next time.
Regards,Chris Mead

5/21/2018 HeadHunt Issue 137
16/20
What do you like most aboutyour job?
I enjoy working with motivated team players who
are pursuing the same goals as mine. To function
well in a large firm is like the age-old sport of
tug of war. A well coordinated tug at the rope is
much more effective than random brute strength.
Working with a good team allows one to achieve
more with optimal effort.
Describe your leadership style.
I tend to articulate goals clearly, and give a free
reign to the individuals to achieve them. I am
fortunate to work in a numbers-driven role, so it
makes goal setting relatively straightforward. And I
try not to micro manage how the individual divides
his/her time on different issues.
How do you develop your ownleadership skills?
Leadership is a skill that is very context driven. It
depends on the people around you and the kind
of organisation the leaders of the firm are trying
to build. DBS organises leadership conferences
targeted at various levels of leaders. At these
conferences, we often hear from leaders of otherindustries and also from senior leaders in the
bank. Thats an important aspect of developing my
leadership skills.
Being part of the Management Associate
Programme (MAP) helps me get to know the
leaders of the organisation. And as a MA, I get to
build strong relationships with colleagues from a
variety of departments in the bank. These help to
develop my leadership skills.
How do you draw the best outof people?
Set the goals, and provide the support necessary
to complete the job. This could mean getting the
hardware/infrastructure in place, or the business
relationship, or to absorb extraneous issuesthat are affecting your teams concentration in
pursuing the team goals.
What would you like to be inyour career 5 years from now?
I work with the Credit Structured Products team
at DBS, and it is a relatively small asset class
compared to Foreign Exchange or interest rates. I
would like to grow the asset class along with the
growth of the DBS franchise. In 5 years, I hope
that we would have a business that spans all
regions that the bank has significant presence in.
Why did you choose to join theDBS Management AssociateProgramme, and how has itimpacted your career?
My relationship with DBS started in 2000 when
I joined the DBS undergraduate scholarship
programme (which is now defunct). Joining the
Management Associate Programme (MAP) in
2004 after graduation was a natural progressionas I wanted to work in different areas of the bank
to find out more about the businesses.
The most important impact that the MAP has on
my career is the network I built over the years
within the bank - from the job rotations to the
friends I made in my MA cohort to the different
batches of MAs that I interacted with. This
network grows with me over the years and also
acts as extended feelers into the bank. This helps
me to get a better feel of DBS strengths which in
turns helps in structuring solutions for clients and
for the bank.
How do you balance thedemands of work & personal/family life?
Reduce commute time, and exercise.
If you spend an hour on commuting a day, youre
spending 250 hours a year and thats more than
10 days a year. Find ways to reduce commute
time within your budget, and you will find that
you have much more time.
Endorphin is produced in your body when
you exercise. That helps me unwind, and stay
positive. I use lunch times and evenings for
quick, high intensity workouts. A workout need
not last more than 45 minutes, so you could
squeeze in one during a 60 minutes break. That
could be lunch time, or after work before dinner.
Best career advice youve ever
received.There is no bad bond, only a bad price. I have
probably extrapolated the phrase beyond its
original context. Thats the mantra that guides
me to not judge any transaction/situation,
especially if there are extreme negative
overhang. Instead, come up with the right price
or reaction in a scenario.

Survey finds clear link betweeneffective communication andbenefits value perception
One of the top challenges employers face with
regard to their benefits strategy is how to ensure
employees sufficiently value their benefits. Towers
Watsons 2013 Asia Pacific Benefit Trends survey
shows that, while there is a clear link between
effective communication and benefits value
perception, many employers are yet to leverage it.
The survey, which was conducted between February
and March 2013 among 1,066 employers in the
Asia Pacific region, shows a positive correlation
between the perceived value of benefits and
effective communication in the organisations
surveyed. For employers who felt they communicate
effectively on benefits, 91% also indicated that
they believe their benefits are sufficiently or highly
valued by employees. This number drops to 67% for
organisations that do not communicate on benefits
effectively.
The report includes regional data and selected
country-specific data from China, Hong Kong,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan
and Thailand.
Communication is often overlooked when it comes
to rolling out a comprehensive benefit strategy, but
as we found, it is often an integral way to improve
the ROI that employers strive for, said Matthew
Jackson, Director Benefits Optimisation, Asia
Pacific. When it comes to having a strong benefits
program, part of the solution is to create a scheme
that is flexible and adaptable to different employee
segments with different needs. But much of thiseffort could be wasted if not supported by an
effective, targeted communication strategy that
makes use of different types of media.
Despite listing improving employees perceived
value of benefits as one of their top objectives
for their organisational benefits strategy, 31% of
employers still do not communicate about benefits
to their workforce. Although high, this number is an
improvement from 55% of employers in 2009.
Additionally, the survey found that 22% of
companies still communicate using paper-based
tools. Despite this, employers are beginning to
embrace newer technologies: a quarter makes use
of online benefit portals.
Tight Labour Market Shows Signsof Easing
The tight labour market showed signs of easing
in the second quarter of 2013, as layoffs rose
amid business restructuring and consolidation.
Unemployment increased for the second consecutive
quarter, though it was still low and employmentcreation remained high. These are the key findings
from the Employment Situation, Second Quarter
2013 report released by the Ministry of Manpower
Research and Statistics Department.
Preliminary estimates show that the seasonally
adjusted overall unemployment rate was 2.1% in
June 2013, up from 1.9% in March 2013 and 1.8%
in December 2012. The resident unemployment rate
