What Are The Career Opportunities Returning to Taiwan?

Abstract:

Bob will like to talk about his work experiences in US, and in Taiwan after his retirement from HP, and what he discerns today. In addition, he will share his observations and experiences of working with successful and not successful people in the past. For example: What are the unique characteristics of successful people; humbleness, modesty, low profile etc. What are the causes for the failures. What adjustments people made in order to survive and continue to be successful when facing tremendous challenges and going through many changes. What does an entrepreneur need to prepare in order to succeed. It is difficult to raise money, but still there are many success stories. Finally, Bob will conclude with job seeking skills for preparing oneself to land a good job that will fit into long-term career plans and may ultimately lead to entrepreneurial opportunities.
