Susipažinkite su Ashely

Ashely yra iš Wuhano, Kinijos, ir 2006 m. pradėjo dirbti mūsų Šanchajaus biure.

Nuo to laiko ji kelis kartus keitė darbo vietą Nefab ir šiuo metu dirba vyresniąja inžinerinių projektų vadove Nefab Americas regioninėje būstinėje Dalase (JAV).

Ar galite papasakoti apie savo dabartinę padėtį ir kasdienį darbą? 

Inžinerinių projektų vadovui kiekvieną dieną tenka nauji iššūkiai. Dirbu su įvairiais projektais, kuriu unikalius sprendimus daugeliui produktų, kuriuos užsako įvairūs klientai. 

 

Dažniausiai projektai nėra paprasti, todėl reikia koordinuoti veiklą ir bendrauti su įvairiomis funkcijomis ir (arba) komandomis, kad projektai judėtų į priekį, būtų kontroliuojama jų eiga ir sprendžiami nesklandumai. 

 

Kasdien bendrauju su didžiausių mūsų klientų komandomis visame pasaulyje. Taip pat nuolat dirbu su vietine komanda Dalase ir padedu kurti sprendimus naujiems klientų gaminiams, taip pat sprendžiu esamas klientų pakuočių problemas. 

 

Kokių įgūdžių, jūsų manymu, reikia norint būti geru inžinerinių projektų vadovu svetainėje Nefab? 

Svarbiausia, manau, kad geri bendravimo įgūdžiai yra būtini. Šiame darbe tenka daug bendrauti su žmonėmis iš įvairių skyrių ir iš įvairių pasaulio šalių. Bendrauju ir su kolegomis, ir su išorės šalimis, pavyzdžiui, klientais ir tiekėjais. 

 

Akivaizdu, kad turite turėti projektų valdymo įgūdžių, pavyzdžiui, gebėti organizuoti susitikimus, mokymus ir koordinuoti įvairias užduotis vienu metu. Be to, turite būti stiprus techniškai ir puikiai išmanyti įvairias medžiagas, bandymų standartus ir daugelį kitų dalykų. 

 

Kaip ir visose įmonės pareigose, jūs turite tikėti mūsų siūlomais produktais, mėgautis įmonės kultūra ir puoselėti jos vertybes.

Kas jus labiausiai motyvuoja darbe? 

Įvairovė ir iššūkiai, dėl kurių nuolat mokausi naujų dalykų! Nuolat reikia tobulėti, kad atitiktų pasikeitusius poreikius ar naujus reikalavimus. Privalai būti budrus ir niekada nenuobodžiauji, nes Nefab nuolat auga, plečiasi klientų ratas ir pritraukia naujus komandos narius, kuriuos reikia mokyti ir iš kurių galima mokytis! 

 

Kuo pasižymi Nefab? 

 

Dirbau trijose skirtingose Nefab vietose ir lankiausi keliuose biuruose visame pasaulyje; žinoma, kiekvienoje vietoje vyrauja savita atmosfera, tačiau yra keletas bendrų dalykų. Mano bendras įspūdis yra toks, kad Nefab yra lankstus, kupinas iššūkių ir greito tempo, bet taip pat labai palaikantis. Darbas atliekamas profesionaliai ir nuolankiai. Atmosfera yra labai energinga ir dinamiška, ir man tai tikrai patinka. 

Ar galite papasakoti apie savo kelionę į Nefab? 

2006 m. baigiau universitetą ir ieškojau pakuočių pramonės įmonių. Nefab's požiūris į pakavimą buvo maloni staigmena, nes tai buvo viena iš nedaugelio įmonių, kurios daugiausia dėmesio skyrė visapusiškiems pakavimo sprendimams. Be to, įmonės kultūra išsiskyrė iš kitų, su kuriomis man teko susidurti. Džiaugiuosi, kad nusprendžiau priimti Nefab's pasiūlymą! 

 

Po kelerių metų darbo Kinijoje nusprendžiau persikelti į San Chosė (JAV). Ten praleidau kelerius metus, o paskui persikėliau į Nefab Americas būstinę Dalase. Dėl to turėjau iš naujo pradėti gyventi, susirasti naujų draugų ir pažinti miestą. Dalase sulaukiau didelio kolegų palaikymo, todėl persikraustymas galiausiai nebuvo labai sunkus. Esu labai dėkingas ir už galimybę persikelti, ir už suteiktą paramą!  

 

Taigi dabar turbūt turite draugų visame pasaulyje? 

 

Na, ne iš viso pasaulio, bet tikrai iš daugybės skirtingų vietų. Puiku, kad dirbdama galiu patirti kalbos, maisto ir kultūros įvairovės grožį iš viso pasaulio! 

 

Ar turite kultūrinio susidūrimo pavyzdį? 

Didžiausias nesutarimas, su kuriuo susidūriau, yra susijęs su kalba ir mūsų bendravimo skirtumais. Kinijoje, kai ko nors prašome, galima pasakyti gana tiesiai, neprašant klausimo forma. JAV svarbiau būti mandagiam ir vartoti tokius žodžius kaip "prašau, padėkite, ačiū" bei užduoti klausimus. 

 

Kitas skirtumas - sunkus darbas gali būti suvokiamas skirtingai. Kinijoje manoma, kad žavėtina, jog atsiskyręs visiškai susikaupi, o ne dirbi komandoje ar leidi laiką pokalbiams. JAV vis dar tikimasi, kad bendraudami su kolegomis praleisite laiko, nors darbo krūvis didelis. Dabar jau išmokau tai subalansuoti! 

  

Kokios jūsų mintys apie ateitį? 

Šiuo metu džiaugiuosi savo dabartinėmis pareigomis, nes jos man leidžia suprasti vietos rinką, kultūrą ir darbo būdus JAV. Ateinančiais metais matau, kad imsiuosi daugiau vadovavimo pareigų ir toliau tobulėsiu kaip lyderis. Taip pat džiaugiuosi tolesne verslo plėtra ir augimu, nes esu tikras, kad ateityje tai atneš dar daugiau įdomių iššūkių!

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>
