About this listen
In this episode Alumni Voices episode, I speak with Eon Yang, Manager for Commercial Support and Revenue Management at Apra Hotel Advisors in Singapore. She shares how intentional choices, immersive learning, and a focus on contributing meaningfully helped her turn internships into powerful career springboards.
📌 Key Takeaways:•
- A first-year revenue management module (course) ignited her passion for the field and motivated her to actively pursue internships aligned with her career goals.
- Early roles in a GDS-focused distribution team and an eight-month placement at the flagship Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore provided hands-on exposure to strategy, pricing, promotions, and rate management.
- Discovering a preference for revenue management over finance came from appreciating its dynamic, top-line focus compared to the more limited scope of cost control.
- Listening to meetings and informal conversations offered some of the most valuable learning by revealing decision-making processes and sparking new ideas.
- Entering internships with a clear objective enables interns to contribute beyond assigned tasks and build expertise that will serve them long after graduation.
