Asians In Advertising

? Monthly AIA Spotlight ? Meet Yirong Wang, Associate, Digital Communications at Selfhelp Community Services How has being Asian impacted your career? “Being Asian shapes my career with both challenges and opportunities. Navigating the cultural gap is a persistent challenge, whether it's in seeking a job or networking with industry professionals. However, I view this as an opportunity to utilize diverse cultural perspectives to enhance my capabilities. My Asian background equips me with unique insights and strengths, empowering me along my career journey.” Do you have any advice for the AAPI community? "Direct networking is tough for us; group activities help introverted attendees connect." ?? Get featured: https://lnkd.in/gPcQV2a9 #AAPI #CreativeSpotlight #AsiansInAdvertising
