Board of Young Leaders Program Success Story: Ashpreet Singh


Can you tell us a little about your background?

I am from commerce background and had commerce with maths in 12th. I decided to go ahead with b.com honors for next 3 years.


Which department did you work in and what did you enjoy the most about it?


Initially I was a member of global expansion for 2 months. Later I ended up being the Vice President of global expansions dept heading a team of 30 eatizens all over the world. The best part was understanding the culture and background of each citizen and maintaining the diversity. Having people from all over the globe gave me immense learning and exposure.



What skills did you pick up at Board of Young Leaders Program that is helping you achieve your goals?



In my case , patience is the key skill i learned. I always wanted things to happen that very moment and had 0 level of patience. However being a leader I had to keep all the factors in my mind and wait for the perfect moment to let things take place. Patience and learning about people are my two biggest learnings and takeaways.


How did the experience letter you gained from Eat My News help you?


If I have to tell about the experience of being a Vice President and having my own, I will fall short of words. In short it has played a key role for me to crack Deloitte’s interview and get placement in the top 4.

Every task assigned by Tanya or the tasks I used to assign to my members helped me to enhance and develop my personality .



Any advice to candidates who want to become members at Eat My News?


My only advice to candidates who want to become members at EMN is that, either a top shot brand or working in a senior position, in your internships will only count at the end of the day. However getting internship opportunity in a big brand is not an easy task so why not opt for the other option? Work as a member for a few months and later go ahead with one of the position in the dept. Trust me when you get it on your cv that you worked as a Vice President for xyz dept, it will have the best impact on recruiter and they will want to know more about it. That’s how you will have an advantage over other people in the final round of interviews for any company.
