Never Too Late to Find Your Passion
Never Too Late to Find Your Passion
We would all agree that university is the best time to realise our passion and get prepared for our future. Shaik Mogdoom Rasmiyah participated in the GraduAction Talent Academy, which aimed to enhance final year students’ essential skills and knowledge for better career development and employability. Once feeling unsure about her career, Rasmiyah found the workshops in this Academy pivotal to her by discovering herself, and finding what she is good at.

Rasmiyah’s experience in the Academy underscored the importance of proactive career exploration. A DISC workshop helped her understand her personality type and how she collaborated best with others. An interview workshop prepared her with the techniques of CV creation and offered negotiation in the job market. Rasmiyah also gained valuable insights from the job simulation study and a trailblazer workshop, where she assisted a mock AI learning company in market exploration. These trainings were quite intensive to her without prior internship experience, yet she was grateful to see how much she have grown personally and professionally from them.

“Start now, no matter how late you
think you are”, Rasmiyah emphasises to us that it is never too late to start
thinking about what we really want and what we are good at. She advises
students to be brave to seek help and utilise the university resources that are
always ready for us to access.
