31/01/08 CV For Tech: Industry Awards

SINGAPORE - Part IV (see all parts). While I had reservations about including them as I was U18 at the time, I was recommended to leave them in as a differentiating and memorable factor about my CV. While everyone has high-school exam results, not everybody has international awards showing their industry interest from an early age. Not to mention winning an U21 award at age 16 :-)

This section wasn’t dramatically changed, mainly a reduction of 33% of the text, leaving them as talking points for an interview.
