PUCDC Organization Talk Series: Career Clarity Workshop by Crossworks Myanmar

Are you feeling uncertain about your career path and seeking clarity on your future? On September 9, 2025, Parami University, in partnership with Crossworks Myanmar, hosted an engaging Career Clarity Workshop as part of its Career Development initiatives. Crossworks Myanmar is an organization dedicated to discovering, developing, and deploying Myanmar’s best and brightest talent to work with international companies in remote settings.

The session was facilitated by Min Thaw, Talent Solutions & Partnership Development Specialist at Crossworks, who guided students through thought-provoking exercises designed to help them explore their career paths with confidence. His presentation covered several powerful themes and frameworks, including:

• “Why? Because they told me” — encouraging participants to question external influences versus their own motivations.

• A memorable clip from the film 3 Idiots to emphasize passion over pressure in career choices.

• “The Big Myth” of career planning and how to move beyond rigid expectations.

• “The Odyssey Plan” — prompting students to imagine three completely different five-year life scenarios (Plan A, B, and C) to expand their possibilities.

• Lessons from well-known figures like Colonel Sanders, Isaac Newton, and Thomas Edison, each symbolizing resilience, discovery, and innovation.

• Reflective questions, such as “What is the kind of work you know you cannot do?” to help refine self-awareness.

  
  

One of the session’s most memorable messages was the reminder: “Don’t choose a job. Design your life.”

The workshop also introduced students to Crossworks’ Career Club, a membership-based program that supports participants in exploring, growing, and preparing for global opportunities.

This session offered Parami students a meaningful opportunity to look beyond traditional career paths and begin shaping futures aligned with their strengths, values, and aspirations.
