People & Culture Executive Volunteer at Australia–Indonesia Youth Association coordinating interviews across time zones.
What I'm looking for
At Australia–Indonesia Youth Association, I coordinate and schedule interviews for the CEO and leadership team across time zones. I also sit in on interviews as a note-taker, documenting candidate responses and observations for the panel's evaluation.
In this volunteer role, I assist with day-to-day People & Culture coordination in a remote organisation spanning Australia and Indonesia. My hands-on HR experience includes recruitment administration, candidate correspondence, and interview coordination.
Before moving into People & Culture, I supported executives and coordinated projects across education, government, and non-profit organisations. At CARE Foundation, I developed school action plans, connected 50 alumni to the programme, and helped bring five organisations on board through proposals I designed and pitched.
I hold a Master's in Cross-Cultural Management from Universitas Diponegoro. My earlier work in financial aid at Lahore University of Management Sciences included presenting student cases to a decision-making committee.
