The volunteers would like to say..

Jacqueline Leung, University of Hong Kong Student

Thanks Sandra for the targeted career advice to each of us after listening to our background and goals, as well as the practical tips on how to present ourselves confidently to others. I also treasure the interaction with other volunteers who are working or studying in different fields, which made this meeting a truly fruitful and empowering one!

Rui Wang, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Student

It was such a great meeting. Learning about Sandra’s experiences and advice really help me on my future decisions. Without Time Auction, I can’t think of another opportunity to meet such a wonderful mentor. I sincerely hope to stay in touch with her and learn more about her. Great job and thanks again, Time Auction!

Anne Wong, Working Professional, Ex-Private Banker

Thanks Sandra for all your sharing today. As a and risk-averse person, my thinking process is just as long while my scenario analysis always tilt with a conservative bias that result in inaction for most cases. I like your advices specifically to take small (but not baby though) steps in doing big things. So once it’s kickstarted, momentum will grow and lead to unexpected new treasures.

Mandy Lai, Human Resources Professional

It’s a great session to meet with Sandra Leung. I still remember her motto — Don’t do anything that you will regret. In my age, sometimes I am still afraid of taking risks and feel insured when facing uncertainty. But after this session, I am more confident to find out what I want and how can I get there. Thank you Sandra for encouraging me to step out from my comfort zone.

Bryan Kwok, Chinese University of Hong Kong Student

I am really impressed by your passion towards not only your job but towards life: keep asking, and keep trying. Your reminders are of paramount of importance to me when choosing which path I would like to take a baby step in my career. More than honoured to have you as my mentor. Keep in touch, Sandra.

Jessica Leung, Working Professional, Compliance

This is Jessica and it was a very enjoyable experience for me. The three hours went by very fast. Thank you Time Auction for the nice arrangement, wish I had known about this very meaningful programme earlier in my school days. I would strongly recommend this great platform to everyone to meet and learn from many amazing and successful people while giving back to the society. Also a big thank you to Sandra for spending her time with us and generously sharing her stories as a student, as a banker, and most importantly, as a dream pursuer who is always motivated and determined. Sandra is a very encouraging mentor, and she makes sure she has attended every question we had. She has also shown us how we can all get to where we want as long as we have the right attitude. So thank you again Time Auction and Sandra, for giving us this memorable and inspiring session.
