Listen Later

In this episode, you’ll hear from Alston Chiang, whose career journey (which includes coaching tennis, interning at an investment bank, working in fashion PR, and in tech at companies like LinkedIn and WeWork) led him to launch a tech-focused recruitment strategy and career coaching business. He shares invaluable insights on maintaining authenticity in your career, breaking workplace norms, and leveraging individuality to carve out a unique narrative for success on your terms.

We chat about non-linear career paths, job hopping, dealing with parental discouragement regarding your career, how you really should be networking (it’s easier than you think!), and tips for impactful interviewing.
