In this brief International Women’s Day video, Mok Jing Ru addresses recent graduates seeking career direction. She emphasizes that early career stages are a "discovery zone" where it’s acceptable not to have a clear path, encouraging experimentation and enjoyment of varied experiences. She then stresses personal agency, urging listeners to view themselves as captains of their careers, to make decisive choices, and to pursue their work with passion and excellence. Finally, she advocates for deep self‑awareness—identifying strengths, weaknesses, and areas for excellence—through continual reflection, fostering resilience, confidence, and the courage to dream big. The message concludes with a celebratory wish for International Women’s Day.

Chapters

For fresh grads who are looking for a career, my advice is it's okay that you don't know what you're looking for for the start. In fact, you're in a discovery zone, so do something that you really enjoy. Try a few things. My second advice is that life is just too short, So you are actually the captain of your career and your life. So take the call and be passionate about it and do it well. My third advice is that be very truthful to yourself. Take some time to know what is your strength and weaknesses. Know what are the areas that you can really excel in. The more self-awareness that you have, constantly doing the self-reflections, the more opportunity that you can see yourself and grow more. Having strong belief in yourself that you can do it, be resilient about it, dare to dream big and do big things. Happy International Women's Day to everyone.
