Jin Tan didn’t set out to “fix” education in one swing. He kept seeing the same problem, smart Malaysians finishing courses with certificates but nothing convincing to show a hiring manager. That gap pushed him to found ReSkills not as another content library, but as a founder’s answer: learn the way work actually happens, small steps, clear proof, tight feedback.
Jin’s edge is operator discipline. He talks to employers first, then designs backward. Years of observing real hiring taught him a few hard truths: recruiters have minutes, not hours, portfolios beat promises, clarity beats hype. As a founder, he turned those into rules, ship fast, listen harder, measure what matters.
Day to day, Jin is hands-on. He sits in learner check-ins, rewrites project briefs, and stress-tests interview tasks until they feel like real work. If something doesn’t help a candidate tell a sharper story in an interview, he cuts it. If a short Loom demo lands better than a long report, he flips the template for everyone. Progress must be visible.
Jin also builds for Malaysia’s realities. He pushes for BM and English options, evening/weekend cohorts, and projects that mirror local roles from ops dashboards to social content you could actually publish. He calls it “proof over promises,” but really it’s respect for how people live and learn here.
