About Me

My YouTube Channel: Career YoungPros https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCedoZ0B3W59Uk734Um-6V9A My Journey From $35K to $150K+ Salary and Marketing Industry Explained: https://youtu.be/H58a2NT3YQ4 Hi there! Are you looking to build or advance your career in the exciting world of digital marketing and earn a six-figure salary? Or are you a non-native English speaker trying to navigate and succeed in the corporate world? If so, let’s connect. Whether you're a new grad or an experienced professional, I can help you stand out and supercharge your career by finding your competitive advantage, niche, and unique stories in your career journey. Let’s work together on topics such as: - Career exploration and insight into marketing - Find the best career path that suits your interests and strengths - Network externally to get a job referral or internally to get sponsors and mentors - Build a unique personal brand and story - Effectively tailor your resume to various positions - Prepare for virtual and in-person interviews - Salary negotiations - Get the promotion or raises you deserve - Manage your boss and build alliances in workplace *** About me: Born in China, I’m a first-generation immigrant and the first person in my family to attend an American university. The odds were against me initially -- my parents couldn’t share any career advice with me and I didn’t go to a prestigious school with an extensive alumni network. But I managed to pave my own path to a successful career in digital marketing through lots of networking and making strategic moves. The journey hasn’t been easy, I've been through career changes, layoff, reorg, as well as M&A. But I've survived them all and continue to thrive by leveraging good job search and networking skills. Now, I'm ready to apply these lessons learned and valuable insights to help others like me (women, immigrants, or minorities). I have 11+ years of work experience in the digital marketing space, spanning from advertising technology, digital publishing, to agencies (media, PR, and advertising). I'm very familiar with many disciplines within marketing as I have worked in different fields (analytics, content marketing, project/campaign management and demand generation) at various types of companies (from multinationals to mid-size to startups). By day, I’m a senior demand manager who helps a global advertising technology company attract more customers post-IPO; by night, I’m a career coach who can help you position and promote yourself to your target audience.

Rachel was so help in preparing for an interview. I was looking for coaching on how to answer questions about experience I don't have and she was great at instilling confidence in the skills I do have and coming up with transferrable experiences I could still speak to. She was honest about interview questions I needed to prepare more for and her coaching was very helpful!

Rachel offered great advice regarding my resume and offered guidance on my career trajectory. I truly appreciate the extra effort she put in after our session by continuing to keep in touch via LinkedIn and share job opportunities. The only piece of feedback I have for Rachel is to take time during the session to learn more about the person so they have time to talk about what industries they want to work in. She tried to push me in a path that I was not interested in. Overall, I liked the tangible advice Rachel gave me and look forward to connecting with her in the future.
