Yes, very much aligned based on the original JD that was shared.

Not much of a training. Many systems to learn / apply with steep learning curve.

New understanding of GenAI / chatGPT/ LLM and how it applies / supports customers centricity.

# data[].attributes.body
No training per se, more sharing to understand the way they work or plan ahead

# data[].attributes.body
Like familiar with Ms office tools like ppt

Understanding of ux practices

Able to attend courses

New understanding on digital marketing

# data[].attributes.body
JD was a hit and miss

Plenty of on the job training. Work was very domain dependent, which relied on OJT.

Marketing skills, project management.

# data[].attributes.body
Open culture. A lot of 1 on 1s.

Open to feedback and ideas, maybe too opinionated.

Support and guidance could be improved.

Onboarding was centralised, so only happened in my 2nd month.

# data[].attributes.body
Boss and coworkers are supportive and helpful

# data[].attributes.body
Unable to have full access as a perm staff

Did not have the chance to manage a project end to end. Only act as a support role.

Culture was fun, good team. Very welcoming...

Culture was fun, good team. Very welcoming...

# data[].attributes.body
Open to feedback and allowed for easy communication. Was easy to share ideas and lead the team on different aspects of the projects, even without an official leadership role there.

# data[].attributes.body
Everything went very smoothly

# data[].attributes.body
Payment domain was difficult. Market research and marketing is also a taste dependent space. Hard to develop taste.

Supervisors, peers and HR were readily available to be confided in.

# data[].attributes.body
Culture

Yes, open to feedback / improvements. Supervisor interested to understand the Public Service experience because the PS is about Trust.

Colleagues were awesome, can mingle. Not much of an onboarding. The onboarding was just a 30 mins conversation with the supervisor

# data[].attributes.body
Not quite. There were more ambitious plans for data visualisation but the company was not quite prepared to put in the resources to achieve them.

Some training on GEN Ai.

Not quite. Learn on the job

Competencies - more time to practice coding.

# data[].attributes.body
Not much exposure to analytical genAI tools.

Able to apply some digital marketing methods to web analytics

Exposure to uiux for banking applications could be relevant to govt applications

# data[].attributes.body
Very different culture

A. Open

B. Big energy type

Peers and Supervisors

Open

A. Generally Yes

B. More friction due to the nature of the project/expectations

Onboarding - not much.

# data[].attributes.body
Access to resources

Confide - yes

# data[].attributes.body
Not much of challenges. Can confide with colleagues anytime.

CapitaLand is serious about being the first mover in terms of shoppers engagement and tech, due to it’s competitors (Fraser’s and Lendlease) existence.

Yes! Now I have to enable my agency’s chatbot the same as CapitaLand =p

Wow - Fantastic Pantry with lots of fruits / nuts / drinks / biscuits / cakes! Complimentary too!

# data[].attributes.body
gen Ai is being utilised to develop ads.

Market research are sold in multiple channels. Workshop, decks, packaged.

‘Sales’ focused.

Power of their brand. E.g. speakers from other companies are willing to speak at their internal events for free!

# data[].attributes.body
They do actually use a lot of AI + quite fast to adopt new stuff even if it's not open to us

A lot of AI TECH, but not in direct access to those / due to team arrangements. Day to day work feels more organic maybe due to creative nature

# data[].attributes.headline
Will apply collective decision-making back at my agency  - it's a good model

# data[].attributes.body
Sufficient time to provide resume and references

# data[].attributes.body
Application n interview were all smooth

# data[].attributes.body
Pre Attachment - good, smooth and given time to attend the interview and be interviewed.

# data[].attributes.body
Interview - limited slots.

Haphazard admin - Didn't get my laptop for the first few days / Staff pass was not issued due to miscommunication

# data[].attributes.body
quite smooth

# data[].attributes.body
I had a buddy who was helpful in helping me navigate the admin/ point me to resources and people.

Otherwise, the nature of the role may be to be able to adapt the fast changing and fluid nature of work. While there wasn't clarity or directed learning per se, having interactions with team mates, being proactive in asking questions and being able to participate and observe the organic exchanges allowed me to learn how 'creatives' work

# data[].attributes.body
Starting was choppy, no clear direction or training in place. After a couple weeks and building rapport with the team, was able to get more involved with the work and get included in the work.

Team was fabulous, bosses were really nice, had an amazing time. Made many friends.

# data[].attributes.body
Attended orientation just like a new joiner

Visa HR POC was very hospitable, and even arranged lunch

# data[].attributes.body
Application testimonial was quite tedious.

Can select more than 2 companies?

Matching process not aligned across companies. I find it hard to manage when contacted directly, unsure of the “rules” in place.

TapIn was good!

# data[].attributes.body
Might be specific to the role, but duration of the attachment be longer due to the learning curve required. My role is quite operational and possibly need more then 6 mths to grasp and deliver the role.

# data[].attributes.body
will be good if there was more clarity on the key deliverables for the attachment (can stretch or reduce along the way)

# data[].attributes.body
HR kept in touch and prep us for the return

# data[].attributes.body
All smooth and good. Appraisal workflow was good and well-done.

Transition back to parent agency was smooth. I just returned to my current team and restructured the team to meet the 2025 direction and needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Ok too, thanks to PSD for organising this! Benefited greatly from this SDTAP. ☺️

My HR reminded me gently that I will be going back to my current role (in my agency) before I went for attachment and 2 days before my attachment ends. Was kept connected with them throughout =)

# data[].attributes.body
Smooth, should be flexible to start on their work in office days.

Dynamics was good, they have a very direct culture.

Projects were quite fluid. Sometimes hard to enter work that aligns to interest.

# data[].attributes.body
Would be good to get a copy of the appraisal

# data[].attributes.body
Appraisals should not be factored for grading. I find that it is difficult to ask for separate assessments that can be shared with me.

Role assignment back at agency was smooth.

# data[].attributes.body
Appraisal process was complicated for my attachment company as they didn't know which fields to fill up.

Transition back was ok as I kept in touch with my parent agency frequently

# data[].attributes.body
Be open-minded and just go with the flow.

# data[].attributes.body
Everything will be OK

# data[].attributes.headline
Be open minded and just enjoy the journey
