11 月 28 日，簡報小聚英文版第六場舉辦於 Kafnu 台北旗艦館，服務於頂級精品品牌的 Vicky 受邀擔任 Before Speaker。過去的兩年半，Vicky 在 Louis Vuitton 擔任數據分析師。作為數據分析師，她需要透過深入的數據分析來評估項目績效，並為客戶規劃實地和國際時尚活動。她也擔任英語老師長達 6 年的時間，訓練學生職場英文和溝通相關技能，至今已經輔導了 100 位學生，並幫助其中 60 多位學生在外商公司找到理想的工作。Vicky 同時也是位作家，並擁有一個名為「鋼鐵 V」的部落格，她經常撰寫有關職業選擇、數據分析、英語學習、個人成長等方面的文章。
Vicky obtained her Master’s degree from St. Andrews University in Scotland in the year of 2014. She then came back to Taiwan in the hopes of landing a job at an international company. After submitting 100 resumes, she was only offered 30 interviews; and out of all the companies that interviewed her, none of them offered her a position. In 2015, she decided to lower her bar and took a job offer from a small company. During the first two months, everything went well. However, the company decided to fire her in the third month. Their decision for firing her was that they thought she was not creative, and didn’t have experience in managing clients.
Vicky 於 2014 年從蘇格蘭的聖安德魯斯大學獲得碩士學位。回到台灣後，她希望能在外商公司找到工作，提交了 100 份簡歷後，只有 30 家公司給予她面試的機會，並且沒有任何公司給她職位。2015 年，她決定調整自己的求職標準，接受一家小公司的工作機會。在前兩個月裡，工作一切順利，但是公司在第三個月時決定解僱她，理由是他們認為她沒有創造力，也沒有管理客戶的經驗。
In 2016, Vicky started working as an English tutor. During this time, she began to think very deeply about what she wanted in life. She took what she learned from her work and taught herself to think critically. She worked very hard and there was a period of time when she would tutor 20 students per week. Later on, she worked at CyberLink for a year and a half and she started to have a strong desire to work abroad. She submitted her resume to companies in Singapore and Hong Kong and was offered interviews. Unfortunately, she was told by the companies that they couldn’t hire her because she couldn’t speak 7 different languages.
2016 年，Vicky 開始擔任英語家教。在這段時間裡，她開始深刻思考自己想要什麼樣的生活。她努力從工作中學習，並學會批判性思考，她更是十分勤奮於工作，有一段時間她每週要輔導多達 20 位學生。後來，她進入訊連科技工作，一年半之後，她開始強烈希望到國外工作，並將投遞履歷給新加坡和香港的公司，幾次面試之後，那些公司告訴她，他們不能僱用她，因為她不會說 7 種不同的語言。
So how did Vicky get a job offer from the luxury brand, Louise Vuitton? After many previous interview experiences, she knew how to prepare well for a job interview. She also knew the right questions to ask that can help her get an edge when communicating with people from the human resources department. Vicky credited her success to her hard work and preparation.
那麼 Vicky 是如何獲得頂級精品品牌的青睞呢？經過先前多次的面試經驗，她知道如何為面試做好準備。她還知道如何問正確的問題，讓她在與人力資源部門的人員進行交流時獲得優勢。Vicky 將她的成功歸功於她的辛勤工作和充足準備。
Starting from 2019, Vicky wanted to share her experiences and ideas with people. She became a writer and began writing blogs. She also gave speeches and English workshops to spread her knowledge and beliefs.
從 2019 年開始，Vicky 希望與更多人分享她的經驗和想法。她開始寫作、經營部落格，她也四處演講並籌辦英語工作坊，以傳播她的知識和信念。
Looking back, her experiences working as a data analyst, English tutor, and influencer helped sharpen her skills in logical thinking, practical knowledge, and self-expression. She concluded her journey with the quote, “The life seems like a puzzle, you’ll never know how it looks like until the end.” She wanted the audience to know that even if something doesn’t make sense at the moment, don’t stop and don’t give up. Vicky believes that one’s ability is more important than one’s degree. She ended the speech with a quote from Ray Dalio “Successful people are those who can go above themselves to see things objectively and manage those things to shape change.”
回顧過去，她擔任數據分析師、英語家教和部落客的經驗幫助她提升邏輯思維、實踐知識和自我表達的相關能力。她以「The life seems like a puzzle, you’ll never know how it looks like until the end」這句名言來總結自己的經歷。她希望聽眾知道，即使當下所做的事似乎看起來沒有什麼意義，但不要停止，也不要放棄。Vicky 也認為，能力比學位更重要。最後，她以雷・達里奧 (Ray Dalio) 的語錄為她的分享劃下句點：「Successful people are those who can go above themselves to see things objectively and manage those things to shape change」。
