Episode 25: Eggrolls and Eyerolls - My AAPI life

Episode 25 of the Jess Get Hired Podcast is entitled, Eggrolls and Eyerolls. In honor of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month #AAPI, I made it in time to share my lighthearted take on what it's like to be an Asian in Corporate America. To be more specific, Filipino. I briefly discuss why Asian women are precluded from leadership positions at America's Top Companies, as well as the boardroom's lack of diversity. I'll also share a few of my "eye-roll" moments. I share my stories and experiences, as well as address the most common misconceptions that most people have: "Where are you from?" "You aren't Asian enough...." "Asians never seem to age,......you look like you're 12." "Asians become doctors or nurses..." "You know Karate, right?" ...and more.... This is a good-natured conversation that I hope entertains you while also shedding light on our differences and allowing us to laugh about it..
