When Michael Tan agreed to be a guest on The NexGen Show, he didn’t expect to be sitting down for a job interview.
Hosted by Malaysian advertising veteran Prof. Harmandar Singh from MARKETING Magazine, The NexGen Show is a weekly podcast where young marketing talent share their thoughts and opinions on the future.
“As a fresh graduate, I think flexibility and a willingness to learn is important,” he muses. “Being able to admit that you may not know as much as you think is very important too.”Â
In Episode 10, fresh mass communications graduate Michael Tan shares his perspectives entering the industry in this AI-driven era.
“It’s natural for people to feel threatened by AI, but I think it can be used to our advantage if we integrate it properly into our work,” he shares.
