Chinese Americans are known for their good education and hard work. However, their success in the US is not where it should be, as a recent research demonstrated. For Chinese American professionals career challenges exist as they compete with natives and equally qualified foreigners from other countries. Unique challenges facing many Chinese professionals illustrate our weakness in soft skills, from how we physically present ourselves, how we communicate verbally, to how we position ourselves in a team setting.

Chinese students often experienced culture shocking when they came to US for study. However, more challenges are waiting for them after they obtain their degrees. For those who are looking for jobs in US corporations, they need to overcome many hurdles such as language barrier, lack of social network, lack of knowledge of US corporate culture, etc. The lucky ones who can locate a job in a short time period after graduation still need to climb corporate ladder later. In this presentation, the speaker will share his experience with the audiences on how a Chinese student can prepare himself/herself for working in US corporations.
