The intern’s #VoicesFromXiMnet campaign today interviewed
Carrie about her journey so far with XiMnet. Let’s read more about what she has
to say:
How long have you been in the digital industry? Is this
your expected career plan when you were still in college/university back then?
I have been in the digital industry for more than three years.
I was a major in IT / Technology in my degree program, but I
have a penchant for good design.
Back then when I was still in university, the simple fact
that a website is a unique fusion of design, technology - intrigues me. And now
I have learnt that strategy is also a crucial part of the formula.
So yes, this is where I wanted to be; expectation-reality
gap closed!
What makes your journey in XiMnet special?
My journey in XiMnet is special because of its people. We
are the dreamers and the doers, the believers and the thinkers.
I don’t believe in the common adage, “a self-made man”, as
every acquaintance or encounter with someone, no matter how brief, has built me
to be who I am today and the people of XiMnet are great contributors to my
laurels.
Describe your role in Ximnet.
As a fresh graduate, I started off as a generalist, learning
all aspects of website development.
Despite being one of the youngest in the team, I’m grateful to
have been given opportunities to learn from the best and hence, picked up the
role of Project Consultant.
Now, my job scope focuses on client servicing and design.
Despite working in a fast-paced environment, what are the
perks of your job?
As Malaysians, we are connoisseurs of food and it is with
great delight that we are rewarded with good food every time upon completion of
major projects without fail.
What do you do to get inspired?
I meditate.
Sure, I
meditate when I sleep. I’m an energizer bunny. No meditations, na-uh.
I hit the gym instead. Lifting irons constantly reminds me to always challenge my limits, and raise the
bar (literally!).
Do you have any advice for our fellow freshmen in the
industry?
Make mistakes, fall in love, laugh, cry, follow your own
path - even if it’s an unusual adventure that you may end up making a lot of
mistakes, because these are the best ways to learn.
