Newcrest Mining

An example of the impact of you on my career:

I met with the director of ACBC (Australian Chinese Business Council) last Tuesday. She was an ex-ABC producer. She asked me to prepare a mini workshop on some logistics and supply chain issues in doing business with China because she believes my experience in the area could benefit other businesses. This of course requires stand up presentation in front of 30 some people from businesses. Can you imagine what would have happened hadn't I had the training with you? I would have said NO outright. But I took it on with enthusiasm. What a great opportunity to get my profile out, the most valuable exposure for a job seeker in my situation.

So here you go: you are making a difference.
