“Empty Cup, Full Growth” – How Lizz Is Building Confidence Across Borders with Reeracoen Singapore

Stepping into a new country just six months after getting married wasn’t an easy decision for Lizz.

After building her career in Reeracoen Malaysia and earning a promotion to Senior Career Advisor, she was offered an opportunity to join Reeracoen Singapore — a move that reflected the company’s trust in her performance and potential.

“It wasn’t an easy decision… but I saw it as a chance to challenge myself and grow.”

🌱 From Hospitality to Recruitment

Lizz’s journey didn’t start in recruitment.

She graduated with a Diploma in Hospitality and began her career in a 5-star hotel. Later, she moved into the insurance industry in pursuit of stronger income opportunities.

When the pandemic disrupted her career, she began reflecting on what truly motivated her.

Through constant communication with clients and strangers, she realized she was passionate about understanding people — not just promoting products.

That realisation led her to recruitment.

🌟 Why Reeracoen?

During her interview process with Reeracoen Malaysia, she immediately felt something different. The culture emphasised teamwork, support, and guidance rather than aggressive pressure.

Even without prior recruitment experience, she was given the opportunity to learn and grow.

Within two years, she was promoted to Senior Career Advisor, managing both individual and team sales performance.

🚀 A Bigger Stage in Singapore

Relocating to Singapore meant stepping into a faster-paced and more competitive environment.

She understood that being selected from the Malaysia branch reflected trust — and she took it as a responsibility to deliver results.

Singapore’s branch places strong emphasis on candidate quality and turnaround time. This pushed her to refine her sourcing strategies, sharpen screening accuracy, and present only well-qualified candidates to clients.

The biggest mindset shift?

Moving from being mainly candidate-oriented to becoming more client-oriented.

She embraced this challenge with what she calls an “empty cup” mindset — staying humble, listening carefully, and learning from experienced seniors.

❤️ What Drives Her

For Lizz, recruitment is meaningful because it creates impact.

“It motivates me to know that my work can help both clients and candidates succeed.”

The sense of accomplishment and responsibility drives her to continuously improve and challenge her own limits.

🚧 Anticipating Challenges

She knew adapting to a new country, new culture, and new expectations wouldn’t be easy.

But instead of resisting, she focused on observation, feedback, and growth.

Surrounded by experienced professionals in Singapore, she sees every challenge as an opportunity to strengthen her independence and confidence.

✨ Advice for Others Starting in a New Country

Her advice is grounded in humility:

“Don’t judge. Keep an empty cup. Stay open and humble.”

By absorbing knowledge and reflecting carefully, she believes anyone can adapt and thrive in a new environment.

🚀 Looking Ahead

When asked about her goal for 2026, her answer is simple yet powerful:

“Survive, grow, and shine.”

With her resilience and growth mindset, she is already well on her way.

🌿 A Unique Strength

Outside of work, Lizz practices Aerial Yoga to build strength and improve posture — a reflection of her discipline and commitment to continuous improvement.

Just like her career, it’s about balance, flexibility, and steady progress.
