IIC: Asking for help, creating a support system, and the importance of learning about where you come from with Nancy Luong
In our original series, Immigrants In Corporate, our mission was to amplify and empower the voices of immigrant working professionals looking for support at work.
In this episode, we talk to Nancy Luong, a Senior Analyst at Salesforce with a background of 15+ years of digital marketing experience. She is a proud first-generation daughter to Vietnamese and Chinese immigrants and believes everyone has a story which is why she created the How We Got Here journal for YOU to tell your story.
In this episode, we cover:
- Understanding the value of money, time, and energy in your career and life
- The importance of getting an internship to help you network and advance your career
- Resources for immigrants or international students to feel successful in corporate America
- Why having a support system and asking for help is necessary for a balanced career and life
