Lucy joined ALP in 2020, and despite her quiet appearance, she exhibits a great sense of humor in conversations. As a member of the Administration Department, Lucy supports various business initiatives and serves as a reliable pillar.

Stepping out of the established career path, pursuing self-growth
 

Lucy, a graduate in Quantitative Finance from National Tsing Hua University, initially entered the banking sector like many of her peers. However, she soon found the banking industry's segmented work structure limiting and repetitive. Seeking a more dynamic and growth-oriented environment, Lucy reevaluated her career path. The desire for a versatile role led her to transition out of the finance sector and explore opportunities in different industries, eventually bringing her to ALP.

 

At ALP, Lucy noticed a significant difference in the work atmosphere compared to her previous experiences. The collaborative spirit at ALP, with a focus on mutual support and growth, was a refreshing change. Unlike the competitive nature of banking, ALP's flat organizational structure and open communication allowed for quick interactions with supervisors and across departments. The open office layout provided flexibility in choosing workspaces, fostering a conducive environment for switching roles and moods. Meetings at ALP are purpose-driven, aimed at integrating ideas from various project participants to solve problems and coordinate future actions. Lucy appreciates this collaborative culture, providing insights into the activities of other departments.

Learning from zero to one with project-based work

 

In the Administration Department, Lucy takes on project roles involving administrative tasks, finance, and accounting to support various needs of the company. Recently, she managed projects related to ERP implementation and ISO-related cybersecurity certifications. Although this work differs from her initial field of study, Lucy appreciates the opportunity to learn on the job. Project work, she believes, offers a chance for comprehensive involvement from preparation to execution, with no room for turning back. Despite challenges and differences from her academic background, Lucy embraces the trial-and-error process, finding satisfaction in overcoming obstacles.

 

Three reasons Lucy enjoys project tasks: they don't exclude newcomers or those without relevant experience; they provide daily opportunities for personal growth; and each project can be extended, contributing to the company's ongoing challenges and enhancing her value.
