애슐리 소개

애슐리는 중국 우한 출신으로 2006년 상하이 지사에서 근무하기 시작했습니다.

이후 네팝 내에서 몇 차례 자리를 옮겨 현재 미국 댈러스에 있는 지역 본사에서 네팝 아메리카의 선임 엔지니어링 프로젝트 매니저로 근무하고 있습니다.

현재 상황과 일상적인 업무에 대해 말씀해 주시겠어요? 

엔지니어링 프로젝트 매니저는 매일 새로운 도전에 직면합니다. 저는 다양한 프로젝트에 참여하며 다양한 고객의 다양한 제품을 위한 고유한 솔루션을 설계합니다. 

 

대부분의 경우 프로젝트는 간단하지 않기 때문에 프로젝트를 진행하고 진행 상황을 관리하며 복잡한 문제를 해결하기 위해 여러 부서/팀과의 조정 및 커뮤니케이션이 필요합니다. 

 

저는 일부 대형 고객을 위해 글로벌 팀과 매일 소통하고 있습니다. 또한 댈러스의 현지 팀과 지속적으로 협력하여 새로운 고객 제품을 위한 솔루션을 설계하고 고객의 기존 포장 문제를 해결하는 데 지원을 제공하고 있습니다. 

 

Nefab에서 좋은 엔지니어링 프로젝트 관리자가 되기 위해 필요한 역량은 무엇이라고 생각하십니까? 

가장 중요한 것은 훌륭한 의사소통 능력이 필수라는 점입니다. 이 직업은 다양한 부서 및 전 세계 여러 지역의 사람들과 많이 교류해야 하거든요. 저는 동료뿐만 아니라 고객 및 공급업체와 같은 외부 당사자들과도 교류합니다. 

 

당연히 회의, 교육을 진행하고 다양한 업무를 동시에 조율하는 능력과 같은 프로젝트 관리 기술이 필요합니다. 또한 기술적으로도 강해야 하며 다양한 재료, 테스트 표준 등에 대한 이해도가 높아야 합니다. 

 

회사의 모든 직책과 마찬가지로, 여러분은  우리가 제공하는 제품을 믿고, 회사 문화를 즐기며, 회사의 가치를 공유해야 합니다.

업무에서 가장 큰 동기를 부여하는 것은 무엇인가요? 

다양성과 도전 덕분에 항상 새로운 것을 배울 수 있습니다! 변화된 요구사항이나 새로운 요구사항에 맞춰 끊임없이 자기계발을 해야 합니다. 네팝은 끊임없이 성장하고 고객 기반을 확장하며 가르치고 배울 새로운 팀원을 영입하기 때문에 항상 긴장해야 하고 지루할 틈이 없습니다! 

 

Nefab의 특징은 무엇인가요? 

 

저는 Nefab에서 세 곳에서 일했고 전 세계 여러 지사를 방문했습니다. 물론 각 지사마다 분위기는 다르지만 몇 가지 공통점이 있습니다. 제가 느낀 일반적인 느낌은 Nefab은 유연하고 도전적이며 빠르게 변화하는 동시에 매우 지원적이라는 것입니다. 업무는 전문성과 겸손함을 바탕으로 이루어집니다. 분위기는 매우 활기차고 역동적이며 저는 이 점이 정말 즐겁습니다. 

Nefab에서 여정에 대해 알려주실 수 있나요? 

2006년에 대학을 졸업하고 포장 산업에 종사하는 회사를 찾고 있었습니다. Nefab의 완벽한 패키징 솔루션에 집중하는 몇 안 되는 회사 중 하나였기 때문에 패키징에 대한 접근 방식은 놀라웠습니다. 또한 회사 문화는 제가 접촉했던 다른 회사들과는 확연히 달랐습니다. 입사를 결정하길 잘했다는 생각이 들었습니다. Nefab의 제안을 받아들이기로 결정한 것을 기쁘게 생각합니다! 

 

그래서 몇 년 동안 중국에서 일한 후 미국 산호세로 이사하기로 결정했습니다. 댈러스의 네팝 아메리카 본사로 옮기기 전까지 몇 년을 그곳에서 보냈습니다. 새로운 삶을 시작하고 새로운 친구를 사귀고 도시에 대해 알아가야 했죠. 댈러스의 동료들로부터 큰 도움을 받았기 때문에 결국에는 이전이 그리 어렵지 않았습니다. 이사할 수 있는 기회와 지원 모두 정말 감사하게 생각합니다!  

 

이제 전 세계에 친구가 많으시겠네요? 

 

글쎄요, 전 세계는 아니지만 확실히 다양한 곳에서 왔습니다. 저는 일을 통해  전 세계의 언어, 음식, 문화의 다양성의 아름다움을 경험할 수 있다는 점이 정말 좋습니다! 

 

문화적 충돌의 예가 있나요? 

제가 경험한 가장 큰 충돌은 언어와 의사소통 방식의 차이와 관련이 있습니다. 중국에서는 무언가를 요청할 때 굳이 질문의 형태로 요청할 필요 없이 직설적으로 말할 수 있습니다. 미국에서는 예의를 갖추고 '부탁합니다, 도와주세요, 감사합니다'와 같은 단어를 사용하고 질문하는 것이 더 중요합니다. 

 

또 다른 차이점은 열심히 일하는 것이 어떻게 다르게 인식될 수 있는가 하는 점입니다. 중국에서는 팀으로 일하거나 잡담을 하며 시간을 보내지 않고 혼자서 완전히 집중하는 것을 대단한 것으로 여깁니다. 미국에서는 업무량이 많더라도 동료와 소통하는 데 시간을 할애해야 합니다. 저는 이제 균형을 잡는 법을 배웠습니다! 

  

미래에 대해 어떻게 생각하시나요? 

현재로서는 미국 현지 시장과 문화, 업무 방식을 이해할 수 있는 현재 직책에 만족하고 있습니다. 앞으로 몇 년 동안 더 많은 관리 책임을 맡고 리더로서 더욱 발전할 수 있을 것으로 기대합니다. 또한 앞으로 더 흥미로운 도전을 할 수 있을 것이라 확신하기 때문에 지속적인 비즈니스 확장과 성장에 대한 기대도 큽니다!

In China, when we request something, you can be quite straightforward without the need to ask for something in the form of a question. In the US, it is more important to be polite and use words such as &ldquo;please, help, thank you,&rdquo; and ask questions.</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW153763875 BCX0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.275px; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif;" data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}">&nbsp;</span></p>

In China, it is considered as admirable that you isolate yourself to completely focus, and not work as a team or spend time chit-chatting. In the US, you are still expected to spend time interacting with your colleagues even though the workload is high. I have learned to balance this now!</span></span><span class="EOP SCXW153763875 BCX0" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 19.275px; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif;" data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:257}">&nbsp;</span></p>
