Part One of a two-part conversation: Luki is a career coach who has found his purpose helping others find theirs. He is a former computer scientist turned management consultant and campus recruiter turned educator and entrepreneur. He shares SIWIKE “Stuff I Wish I Knew Earlier” to elevate education through soft skills learning.
Some of the things we talk about in part one:
- The Power of Networking: Luki emphasizes the importance of not just knowing people but also being known by senior executives. He shares his experience of doing excellent work but not getting promoted as quickly as others who were better connected.
- Bridging Cultural Gaps: Luki's journey of bridging his Eastern and Western identities is a testament to the power of embracing different mindsets and possibilities. He encourages individuals to explore different career paths and not limit themselves to traditional professions.
- Challenges for International Students: Luki discusses the struggles international students face when looking for work. He advises them to translate academic knowledge into tangible experiences such as part-time jobs or internships and to familiarize themselves with the local culture.
