Ms Irene Eng has spoken to us. She is an energetic,thoughtful and entertaining financial presenter who leaves all of usenlightened. She brings us as her listeners an interactive understanding that evidentlyopen our mind about finance. She considered not only what will we hear, butwhat we would see in her thoughts.
This session was jam-packed with all-related-financecontent. Soon she arrived with a beaming smile,we break the ice with a simple question “what is the latest price of Brentcrude oil?” Significantly for me, knowledge which I do not possess. I talked to myself then “OK, this is a real-worldfinance thing dude!” I was in awe how she provided us with insight into acareer in corporate finance. Wewere exposed to the actual life stories of a Financial advisor. Take financesubject not for the sake of “good grades” but for the sake of “learn and applyneeds.” In virtue of that, Ms Irene stronglyadvised us to meet potential employers and qualities recruiters that each firmseek in an individual. Having such financial management skills can make a hugecontribution in our firm.
