LIVE: Will the new MCO affect your JOB...again?!
FIRSTLY? We are TERRIBLY sorry that the FIRST 8 minutes of audio was GONE! Omg. That's just horrible. Achilles and I were going on and on. I do apologise on our LIVE end.
Truth be told, I wasn't 100% that day. I was actually down with fever due to mastitis but as the saying goes, "the show must go on" and I was pretty excited to be talking to my guest. Azmi had to man the fort with a cranky baby at the back (our helper is stuck in her hometown due to the unfortunate floods, so we told her to settle matters. And then MCO 2.0 took place. So, we are WFH-livestreaming with 4 young kids all at home and a very sick me. Go figure! LOL)
Anyway, here was my first part of what I was (trying to say)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Covid-19 pandemic caused a projected loss of 195 million jobs, interruptions to education and a disproportionate impact on vulnerable groups. The nature of work and careers is changing fast. I’ve heard some say that it’s not the virus that scares them, but the uncertainties that lies ahead.
2020 has given employers and companies reshaped their hiring practices while employees rapidly had to adapt, upskill and reskill, as well as practice resiliency and hone on their entrepreneurial mindsets ,to respond to the reality of either a salary cut or worst, layoffs or to close their business due to the downturn.
As we enter into our 2nd week of 2021, with the uncertainties still looming, I’m pretty sure many of you are keen to know how others have strived despite the challenges. So today, I’m delighted to speak to Achilles Sureen, Senior Lead – Culture & Employee Engagement, AirAsia to share how he managed to fly by, when aviation was hit badly, in 2020.

Thank you Achilles for being such an inspiration. I learnt so much from our short 'lunch date'. I hope mum and my dad meets each other and can have a glass of wine to celebrate your wonderfulness.
Thanks Angelica and JobStreet Malaysia for arranging this interview. Can't wait for the next one with Ramesh!
