KR Alumni Sharing Series I (19 Mar, Thurs)

As part of KRAC's continued effort to support & contribute to KR Hall, we have launch a series of Alumni Sharing Series with the current residents. As a starter, KRAC, together with the Hall's Alumni Secretariat commitee, had identified 'Career Management & Employability' as a key topic of interests for the residents and we'd rope in working alumni to share relevant experiences which we believe would help the residents in this challenging economic climate.

Below are the details of our 1st sharing series, do show us your support!
