10: Fake It Til You Make It
Let me tell you a secret about how I launched my career: I faked it until I made it.
Thinking back, I had no idea what I was doing 99% of the time when I started working as a PR manager, spokesperson, host and video producer at a startup food festival called 626 Night Market. I literally joined the team a week before my graduation, and our young DIY team held our own as we managed to meet the demands of a rapidly growing event.
I learned so much during those years, because I was put in a position to figure everything out on my own. In hindsight I'm so grateful for that experience because I learned the value of self confidence and a “can do” attitude.
