Kaycee Chung
(currently working in the field of Hotel and Hospitality):  
 
Hi there!  I am working as a Reception Manager in a luxury hotel in London. Having earned a bachelor degree in English Literature helped me grow in my career immensely. 
 
I am able to connect with people with a peripheral understanding  on their cultural background, I can always quickly immerse myself into their experiences by listening and responding cohesively. In speaking of people management, I implemented the analytical skills needed to decode primary texts to simplify instructions as well as to be flexible with each individual in my team.
 
As the saying goes - “limit’s the sky”, follow your passion and always give your best, I believe you can achieve anything you want!

Beryl Ng (currently working in the field of Business Administration ) 

I would like to express my sincerest gradtitude to the department for providing internship opportunities between organizations. English, as a language and culture, has played a profound role in shaping my academic and professional journey. English is more than just a means of communication; it is a vibrant culture that transcends borders. Through my studies, I delved into the rich tapestry of literature, linguistics, and culture that English encompasses, and gained a deeper appreciation for its cultural significance. The internship oppotunities facilitated by the department allowed me to apply my English skills in real-world settings, fostering personal and professional growth. These experiences not only enhanced my language proficiency but also provided valuable insights into the professional world, equipping me with a versatile skill set.
