Stefany Yeung from Zylog Canada to Participate in York University TASTE Program

Zylog’s Professional Recruiter to meet students from York University through the TASTE program.

Stefany Ting Tung Yeung, a York University alumna and now, bilingual recruiter at Zylog Systems (Canada) Ltd (“Zylog Canada”), will participate in the TASTE program hosted by York University on Tuesday, September 18th, 2012.

Stefany Yeung is a Bilingual (French/English) Professional Recruiter with more than 5 years of experience in the Retail and Human Resources Field. Armed with a Bachelor Degree from York University in Business Administration with Specialization in Human Resources Management, she is passionate about matching qualified candidates with exciting opportunities.  She has more than 4 years of experience in training and development.

York University’s TASTE program is a partnership between the university and its alumni with the objective of providing York students with the opportunity to talk face to face with a York alumna/us about career related interests. The program pairs two students with a York grad over an informal lunch setting during which the alumna/us shares information about their job, industry, and organization while students gain inside information and inspiration from someone who's been there1.

“Back in 2004 I never pictured myself as a recruiter. If someone were to tell me that I would have become a public speaker, job coach and have the ability to influence people’s careers though the sharing of my knowledge, I would have asked if we were talking about the same person!”, says Stefany, “Nevertheless, here I stand today, it’s all true and I love every minute of it. Speaking publicly and positively impacting careers thanks to all that I have learned in my journey is fulfilling beyond what I thought possible. Every day gives me a chance to improve someone’s future!”
