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.

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

similarly rose to 3.0% in June 2013 from 2.9% in

March 2013 and 2.7% in December 2012, while the

unemployment rate for citizens increased to 3.1%

from 2.9% in the preceding two quarters.

Employment creation in the second quarter of

2013 (32,500) increased from the previous quarter

(28,900) and was slightly above the second quarter

of 2012 (31,700). This brought total employment to

3,419,000 in June 2013, which was 4.0% higher

than a year ago.

Layoffs rose in the second quarter of 2013, affecting

an estimated 2,900 workers, up from 2,120 in

the preceding quarter and 2,210 in the second

quarter of 2012. Nonetheless, it remained below the

recessionary highs of 6,000 to 12,800 per quarter.

to apply for an Employment Pass. Only when you are here for the purposes of attending a meeting and

seminars will you not need to apply for an Employment Pass. You may enter with the Social Visit Pass.

Singapore.

On what terms are Employment Passes issued?

For new and renewal, the maximum number of months to be issued is between 24-36 months.

the date before the passport expires. However, for Dependant Passes, the expiry date always follows the

sponsor person.

Alternatively, Visa approval will be subject to sponsor/employer information provided.

How long do Employment Passes take to issue, what will the processing time be?
