Ms. Lisa Wei, IMBA 2004-entered Alumni, is now living in Hawaii and working in tourism industry. She has extensive working experiences in Computer, IT, Network communication, Mobile device and Semiconductor industries before moving to Hawaii. Due to the family reason, she flied to Hawaii with one way ticket in 2013 and was immediately facing and dealing with many difficulties right after lending to the airport. She conquered not only the change of career path from High Tech to the Tourism Industry but also the multi-cultural environment, co-workers and customers; these are all started from ZERO. --- Thanks Lisa for sharing her story of turning point in her life --- 人生的轉折總在--- 抉擇之間(面對與擁抱改變) 2013年底, 考量父母年事已高, 未來需要更多的陪伴. 因此, 放下在台灣的一切, 一張單程機票, 帶著好友滿滿的祝福,踏上未知的旅程. 夏威夷, 一個觀光勝地, 沒有熟悉的資訊業, 面對過去職場經驗無法延續, 沒有美國學歷. 在是否再次進入學校取得學歷與就業間抉擇. 選擇了面對現實, 跨入旅遊業, 由零開始. 跨領域並不是第一次, 以往在資訊相關產業從電腦周邊跨到網通再到教育與手機甚至半導體產業, 由行政轉入業務行銷到售後服務再到專案與公司管理, 然而都在資訊與通訊類相關產業中移動. 這次的跨幅與環境是更大考驗. 開始由華人旅行社做起, 到後來轉入日本JTB 旗下的高爾夫球公司, 面對「人」 這個千變萬化的需求者及供應者, 看似容易其實很難.辦公室也是挑戰, 同事來自不同地區, 日本, 韓國, 夏威夷日裔, 香港, 中國. 如何用英文, 半吊子日文, 麻麻地的廣東話與國語和同事溝通, 文化差異形成的思維不同如何串聯, 是挑戰也是樂趣, 更交到了許多好友. 曾經有同事問我, 會不會覺得放下過去的資歷與經驗很可惜. 對於從管理階層到基層有沒有心理上的困擾. 我的心得是, 只要清楚自己要的(陪伴父母), 好好擁抱有的(好同事與好朋友), 在工作中尋找樂趣 (不斷學習與挑戰未知). 不論是哪個領域, 都可以創造自己的價值與實力. 最近, 集團內轉調, 轉入JTB Hawaii, 因為想補足自己在酒店方面的知識與更進一步了解大型旅行社的運作. 再次放空, 再次成長, 交更多朋友…. 不論是資訊業, 通訊業, 教育性產業還是旅遊業, 人都是決定的因素....
