Welcome to Season 2, Episode 2 with Pat Chaisang
Pat landed in Vancouver from Thailand straight out of high school and English wasn't her first language. She was shy and not confident to speak to people because she was worried if she would make mistakes.<p>

Growing up in Asia, she was taught not to challenge authority. She was told not to ask too many questions, not to be too direct with people. Such an upbringing made her shy to ask for what she wanted in her job search!<p>

She teaches you how to ask professionals/hiring managers working in the industry for coffee chats which exponentially increases your chances of landing your dream job!

"CEO's tend to make time to talk to students and inspire the next generation. " says Pat so use the opportunity before you graduate :)
