Top student from NUS choses to work in Macdonald

[fastbreak]

She starts off as a chain manager, but she will easily make it as an executive in no time.

Tis is what they do at large organizations like Macs.

Before even graduating from her course in project and facilities management, she had two offers from quantity surveying firms.

NUS grad chooses to serve burgers instead of climbing corporate ladder

While the 27-year-old beams with pride when talking about her job, many people think otherwise, she says candidly.

"It's not something that people always think graduates should do

Her decision to join McDonald's full-time in March last year also raised eyebrows at home.

The job has taken her overseas - to the US city of Orlando for an international convention organised by the company, and to the Philippines for a restaurant leadership programme.

Waaaa.......she waste lots taxpayers monies to do Mac Don. It's a useless job designed for the Bagalas, Pinoys and PRCs. What is she thinking? Pengz.

The most impressive type is those who went from ite to poly to uni. But having a uni degree doesn't always guarantee success though.

I've met the guy who was featured in Lhl's speech many years ago - went on from ITE to become a Phd lecturer in a poly. Also worked with an IT consultant who went from primary 8 PSLE to O levels then poly and NUS. Very level headed and hardworking.

I really salute these survivors of the sinkie education streaming system.

She is learning the way restaurant chain works , then she will open her own chain next time. This is called smart.

A woman got to start somewhere...there are two other orifices to try!

 

[chonburifc]

This one is call 行行出状. No need to compete with her fellow graduates until face green green. Also good chance to climb up the ranks even if no extraordinary performance as long as no big screw up.

Not easy to find a career one like.

 

[CCBCaoPi]

Very down to earth.

 

[Dracula]

I would love to meet up wit her. :p

This is really a misleading report.

Such corporations have a special fast track schemes and their business philosophy requires new entrants to undergo shop-floor training. In the early years. They are never going to remain store managers. Their programmes requires fulfilling a rotation of duties including being posted to feedlots and other supplier location to understand the supply and quality dimensions.

Such reports do not educate locals and does a disservice to all.

You are part of "earth" here, so they "fart", you will know, what they are up to? these reports are just good, time wasting read, while sitting outside a doctor's office or traveling & getting bored.

Yes they send the high flyers to Hamburger University in Illinois. Apparently there's another campus in Shanghai.

Few people appreciate the business side of Macdonald's. They have one of the tightest supply chain management in the business. They have spent millions on automation and standardisation so that they can always hire from the pool of unskilled dropouts for rotating cheap labour.

Their placement strategy is also top notch. Which major mall in world doesn't have a Mac D that is crowded? Read on one of those chain emails that the CEO once asked students at the seminar: "what business is Macdonald's in?" Everyone answered "Burgers". He said "No. We are in the real estate business."

MacDonalds is far more stable than Temasek Holdings or GIC. She is really smart.

 

[maozedong]

Few people realize this but McDonald's is also a real estate company and not just a F&B franchisor.

And it has one of the best commercial real estate holdings in the world.
