Ever dreamed of a career in finance? This blog entry dives into the story of our Finance Department where they share a little about life as Allstars. Let's hear from Prisnyi Krishnamoorthy and the Finance Shared Service leadership team.

1. What does a typical day in airasia look like in Finance Shared Service Department? What do you like most about your job? Could you share the most challenging part of your job?

We typically start our day at our office in The Bousteador, Mutiara Damansara with a small huddle with the team to catch up on daily updates aligning the required tasks for the day.

Catching up with one another allows us to respect the job and the staff around us, while sparking the desire to make the most out of opportunities, thus simultaneously gaining knowledge. To us, the diversity of the team also opens our eyes and teaches us to be humble and celebrate all individuals.

What I love about our job is that I’m always learning something new in a great work environment with absolutely wonderful colleagues. As we conquer multiple obstacles and experiences together, we become more susceptible to solving things more efficiently and effectively, while at the same time continuing to build a better working environment.

Personally, I think challenges vary across the company. The most challenging part of my job is creating a balance between meeting tight deadlines and ensuring that the team is able to cope with their tasks without feeling overwhelmed. I am ever grateful to have such a diligent and dedicated team who goes above and beyond to ensure our tasks are completed timely. My appreciation is also extended to our understanding and supportive Head of the Department.

2. Do you have any advice for someone like me – a newcomer who’s just starting their career in the field of Finance? OR what skills do you think are most important for someone interested in a job like yours?

One of the most crucial qualities we look for is the willingness to adapt and learn new skills. We want to attract talents (fresh graduates and experienced hires alike) but we also prioritize hiring for a cultural fit. When a job candidate shows that they’re open to changing, learning, and upgrading their skills, they instantly become a better investment.

When navigating your career path, demonstrate your willingness to learn so employers can see your growth potential. To demonstrate your willingness to learn, embrace emerging technology, highlight your dedication to growth with concrete examples, and ask questions in the interview.

Tailor your resume to each job description and include certifications, side projects, statistics, soft and technical skills, and your level of expertise for each skill.

3. What is the current recruiting process?

4. What sort of preparation would you recommend for someone interested in finance-related positions?

For early career job seekers, my advice is to seek an internship between your college years. Most internships will provide learning experiences, references, networking opportunities, and something tangible to talk about in an interview. You’ll also get a sense of the atmosphere of different types of workplaces and how well this type of work might fit your interests and work style.

Also, I will encourage job seekers to start garnering respective financial credentials that are well respected in the financial industries, you will need to have relevant working experience and pass the relevant examinations administered by the professional bodies to actually obtain the professional designation.
