呂志宏 (Robert)
工商管理榮譽學士(金融) 2000

「由於我的父親是執業會計師，受他影響，我也選了會計專業。」子承父業的呂志宏(Robert)早就目標明確，中學唸理科的他在預科時轉修商科，然後考入城大工商管理系，主修金融，副修會計。「家父是我的啟蒙老師，現在我和爸爸無論在生活或是專業上都有好的交流和分享。」

讀書以外，當年Robert在大學校園也是一名活躍分子，曾任經濟及金融學會的主席，又擔任學生大使。「透過參與不同的活動，我在城大結識了不同背景的同學，學習如何與人溝通和相處，當年有機會到國內大學觀摩交流，不但擴闊了眼界，更磨練了自信，實在是很難得的經驗。」

Robert甫畢業即獲國際知名的德勤.關黃陳方會計師行(Deloitte)羅致，其後一直在同一間公司發展，現今已是高級經理（審計）。在很多人看來，Robert算是平步青雲。那麼，Robert 有什麼職場經驗可以和大家分享呢？Robert 道：「我認為時間管理和優先次序非常重要。無論工作或是處世，思想需要保持正面，積極投入，享受箇中樂趣，才能事半功倍。從事審計工作出差頻繁，加班加點更是家常便飯，可謂少點魄力也不成。但我卻視之為學習機會，讓我可以在短時間內接觸到不同企業的運作及產業特性，開闊專業眼界，增廣見聞，十分充實。」儘管工作馬不停蹄，但Robert 的生活甚有規律，尤其是對做運動更是持之以恆，風雨無間。「即使多忙，我也會在周末返回中學母校和其他校友踢足球，減壓之餘，又可培養感情。」

Robert 喜歡扶掖後輩，藉以回饋社會。他在公司參加了德勤學友會(Deloitte Club)，幫助各大院校的莘莘學子更深入的瞭解審計和會計工作，為職業選擇提供了充足的技能及實踐儲備。作為前輩，他寄語城大的同學應為未來的職涯及早裝備自己。「經過艱辛的高考進入大學，大部份同學開始鬆懈，在一年級時盡情投入各種活動和嗜好中，而疏忽學業及對將來求職的準備。然而，很多知名的國際大企業早於每年九月開始進行大型的校園招聘活動，應屆畢業生若想在最後一年才發奮圖強急起直追，可能為時已晚，因為申請職位時需要呈報一、二年級的成績。 相反，有些同學利用一、二年級暑期到相關的國企當實習汲取工作經驗，從而了解自己的就業方向，豐富了自己的履歷表。」他認為城大同學的眼光可以放遠一點，未雨綢繆，增加競爭優勢，才能在職場搶奪先機。

The inauguration ceremony of the Second Standing Committee (SC) of CityU Convocation was successfully held on 9 February, with participants from the CityU community including alumni, students and staff. Headed by Chairman Ms Karmen Chan, SC members pledged their dedication to cohering the alumni in support of the University development and serving the community with sincerity, integrity and commitment. They were grateful to the support rendered by University community members including alumni. Alumni leaders from the SC and 13 alumni associations also joined hands to show their devotion to their Alma Mater through a campus-view puzzle outlining a well-supported goal to “Uniting alumni to support University development”. To retrieve the memorable moments of the ceremony, please see the news reported by CityU NewsCentre and the photo gallery and video of the event.
