In the beginning, Mr. Simon Tong (Sr. Member, ASQ; Chairman of ASQ LMC
HK) introduced American Society for Quality and ASQ Local Member Community –
Hong Kong. ASQ is home to a robust group
of regional and topic and industry specific communities worldwide. Local member communities (LMCs) are local
member units for ASQ members outside of the US/Canada.
LMC members make new contacts, network and build knowledge and
participate in local activities and events.
Then Simon introduced ASQ LMC HK exco members.
The second speaker was Mr. Bennett Tong (Senior Business Improvement
Officer, Cathay Pacific Catering Service) and he shared his career
experience. He told use he learnt from his
first job about “Communication with senior colleagues”, “Skill of phone
conversation & business letter writing” and “Think about the working style”. Second job was manufacturing officer for OEM
electronic domestics appliance in which he needed to go to China (He described
as “Throw caution to the winds”). Finally,
he could apply his knowledge, understood “Compromise” and had confidence and self-encouragement
in current job.
The third speaker was Ms. Wong Hing Yi (Senior Business Improvement
Officer, Cathay Pacific Catering Service) and she also shared her career
experience. She studied BEng in System
Engineering and serviced in Disneyland, Nestle, DHL and Cathay Catering. During trainee in Nestle, she learnt to
express clearly and precisely, calculated risk, to be optimistic and
self-motivated and understand the operation with trust. Now, she could apply her knowledge in the current
job with open and compromise manner.
Mr. Ricky Suen (Quality Manager, Titron International Limited) was the
fourth speaker and his presentation about Quality and Regulatory Affair for
Medical Devices field. His talk included
three parts that were Career, Entry Requirement and Job Description. Understanding of QMS in Medical Device (ISO
13485) was crucial. The most important
issue is “Regulatory Affair”.
I was the last speaker and my topic named “Connecting the Dots – From
Student to Adjunct Professor”. I quoted Steve Jobs Stanford Commencement
Address in 2005 that “You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only
connect them looking backwards. So you
have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.”
Then I shared my achievement and contribution in Academia, Business,
Community and Government. On of sharing,
the Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) career paths were discussed.
Finally, I connected all my career experience to CityU.
