"Robert Walters are my personal 'team' to achieve my career goals”

I first connected with Robert Walters in 2016, during my transition from LG Electronics to the global automotive components company. At that time, I was in product planning and development management after undertaking on design and engineering management roles. But, it was when I later considered a career change into business development, and had a talk with a Robert Walters consultant about it, that solidified my decision to make the move. This crucial change in my career allowed me to gain over six years of expertise in the electrification business development sector.

During the pandemic, I realized that industries like aviation or shipping implemented more systems using electrification, they would offer better market prospects and job stability than the automotive sector. At this time, I was contacted by Robert Walters consultant Jung Ji-hee, who proved to be incredibly professional. As someone who has worked in sales, I know how challenging it is to introduce potential candidates to prospective employers.

We build our trust as she took the time to get to know me on a personal level and understand me better, by allowing me to share my career journey in depth with her. I even sent her a 150-page report I had written on UAM. Through this process, I was impressed with her ability to both listening and learn about the real me and the obvious maturity and trustworthiness clearly came through phone and email communications.

Following this, she suggested a position as a Product Manager in aviation sector, and I was able to successfully switch industries from automotive to aviation as I had hoped.

Having worked with Robert Walters for about six years now and I’m still having a good relationship with Robert Walters even moving to other company. My experience has shown me that Robert Walters has a unique way of doing recruitment. ”.

“At its heart lies an attitude of treating people as people instead of merely focusing on job offers, continually communicating, and developing a deeper understanding of the candidate's career journey.”
 

I consider Robert Walters to be my personal 'team' that partnering alongside to help me achieve my career goals, and I plan to continue this partnership as I move forward in the future.
