| "Four weeks of being a caller in the Phonathon 2006 campaign was one of the greatest things I have ever experienced. We had a chance to talk to the alumni and share with them our career path and family life. Above all, the greatest thing is the feeling of being able to do something for my friends who go to the same school as me, but face more difficulties in life." |
|
"It is truly inspiring how people are more than willing not only to take time out of their busy schedules and talk to us, but also to make such generous contributions to Annual Giving just because we, students, called them and asked them to help the cause." |

The work environment is fun, relaxed, and even the supervisors are super friendly. The job itself is satisfying, because you know you are doing it for a worthy cause, and you get to learn a lot of interesting things about NUS from alumni that you'll never find in any publicity brochures. Being a Phonathon caller is one of the major highlights of my NUS days, no doubt about that.” |
