- Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your decision to enter Averis?
I’m from Brazil and I came to Malaysia on a temporary contract basis but was later granted a permanent role. I was approached by Averis when they were looking for a Portuguese speaking personnel to work in the Finance division. I attended the interview but wasn’t expecting to be hired as I didn’t have any Finance experience. However, after the interview I was offered the IT job instead, which for me, was more interesting so I accepted it.
