A Must-Have for University Students and Early Career Adults
Step-By-Step Guidance From Degree to Corporate Success
Make Your Next Move, Your Best Move!
A Must-Have for University Students and Early Career Adults
Make Your Next Move, Your Best Move!
Whether you’re preparing for university, entering the job market, or navigating your early career, the Career Playbook is designed to equip you with real-world tools to thrive.
When I graduated, I had no roadmap or mentors to guide me. My journey—from a struggling graphic designer to leading international exhibitions and eventually founding Talentbank—was filled with uncertainty, lessons, and growth.
Since 2010, our mission has been clear: to bridge the gap between education and employment. We've partnered with top employers like Maybank, Shopee, PETRONAS, and Microsoft to understand what future talents truly need.
One thing is certain: success isn't about luck; it's about preparation and action.
This playbook offers you a clear path - to clarify your direction, build essential skills, and make smarter career decisions. Treat it as your companion as you build a future by design, not by chance.
Your next move can be your best move.
CEO, Talentbank
"Career Playbook cleared my confusion about choosing a degree. Now I'm excelling in a field I love!"
"I landed my first internship thanks to the resume tips from Career Playbook. Highly recommended!"
"The strategies for job interviews were a game-changer. I secured my dream job within weeks!"
"Easy to follow, practical, and inspiring! This book prepared me thoroughly for my career journey."
"It’s rare to find a guide this clear and actionable. It completely reshaped how I planned my future."
Each chapter in this book focuses on a key area of the student journey—academics, social life, personal development, mental health, financial literacy, and career readiness. Instead of lofty theories, you’ll find straightforward advice, real-world examples, and honest perspectives that reflect the reality of student life today.
