Student Stories
NALINI JISHTU
“After finishing my Bachelors in Information Technology from India, I planned to enter in the Corporate World. Though I was graduated in IT, I did not have knowledge about any business and any organisation structure. I realised that just getting theoretical knowledge is not enough to prove best amongst all but one needs to know about what an organisation is within which he/she will work and what are various marketing tactics in order to utilise your talents for maximum productivity for that organisation.
Then I heard about SBG (School of Business and Government) and got impressed by the courses offered by the organisation. I thought whatever our profession is, in every case we have to work within an organisation and deal with the market. So I decided to join this prestigious institute. I did 661 Diploma in Management (6 months in India & 6 months in New Zealand) from SBG.
Though I was in India, but I got full assistance of the tutors from SBG which helped me in finishing my course early and then got my visa in just 15 days. After coming to New Zealand, I got to know about its true beauty. The proficiency of the tutors especially Mr Mike Fermanis and the SBG members like Mr Grant Hodgson and Mrs Christine Roberts and everyone else helped me achieve well results in my studies. After completing my course I truly realised what was missing in me before. I was more confident and ready to face all the challenges with best of my talents.
SBG gave me support and knowledge to adapt to life in a new country. People of New Zealand are so cooperative and helpful and it adds more beauty to the country. After completing my course, I felt that I have got the understanding of market and an organisation and now I am totally ready to enter in business world. And now I work as an IT support with an organisation in Auckland, New Zealand. I thank SBG to make me learn how to work smarter with being a hard worker. SBG provides a happy, caring and supportive environment that allows each student to reach the pinnacle of their capabilities. If you have the will, SBG has the way!”
Ritesh: Salesman of the year!
Ritesh, who came to SBG through Oasis Consultants, has been awarded the Salesperson of the Week Award by his Employer, Vodafone NZ.
Ritesh is employed to sell new broadband and landline phone accounts on commission, and on a recent Saturday, was able to beat all other salespeople to win the top award. He reports that this form of part-time work translates into an hourly rate of $70 per hour!
Update:
Ritesh has gone on from strength to strength in his work as a Sales Contractor to Vodafone. He has consistently been the best performing Sales Contractor in Auckland, and his employers have noticed this! He reports that he has been earning up to $1400 per week from his 20 hours per week, averaging about $800 per week, and more during his term breaks, when he has been able to work longer hours. This is a great hourly rate, and something people with a bent for sales should take note of- commission income can greatly exceed hourly wages!
Ritesh ascribes his success to the help he has received from James Harrison, his tutor on the Auckland campus, who has helped him at every step of the way, preparing for the interview for the sales job, and helping Ritesh develop and perfect his ‘pitch’ for his sales calls.
Ritesh has now completed his qualification in Auckland, and has secured a promotion and full-time employment in Dunedin as an SSC (Supervising Sales Contractor). He gets a car, and assitance with travel and accommodation in Dunedin. As Ritesh had become the top sales person for Vodafone in Auckland, his boss was very keen for him to take on additional responsibilities so offered him a great package to shift to Dunedin. We are all very proud of the achievements, and the example Ritesh has set to all our other students through his hard work and positive attitude.
HARSIMRAN SINGH
“I am Harsimran Singh, student of 661 Diploma in Management at SBG (School of Business and Government). When I made plan for my further studies, I went through each and every aspect of all the colleges’ website in New Zealand. Somehow I saw the details and courses which SBG College was offering. I went through every detail of all the courses of the college and in the end I found the most suitable and outstanding offer, the 661 option course.
This option is to study 6 months in India and 6 months in New Zealand. I felt it to be the best because in this the student has to complete half of the study in their own country, by living with their own people. Same as in my case, being at my home country, I got full assistance from the staff of SBG and I fi nished my study of India without any problem. At SBG, I had the privilege to be taught by tutors, who really cared about my academic progress, and I’ve benefi tted from this immensely.
Moreover, after coming to New Zealand, I did not have to work part time for a long period of time as I fi nished my studies in just 6 months and started doing Full time work in my own profession. Now I earn double money than I used to earn during the period of studies. After doing Hotel Management from India, I did Management course from SBG, which really refi ned my skills and talents and all this has helped me getting a job which is really a good start for my career.
Studying in SBG I have cultivated good study habits and also further enriched my attitudes towards academic achievement which compel me towards attaining higher goals and taught me to use the best of my talents in everything I do.”
