Tutvu Ashelyiga

Ashely on pärit Wuhanist, Hiinast, ja alustas meiega meie Shanghai kontoris 2006. aastal.

Pärast seda on ta Nefabis paar korda ringi liikunud ja praegu on ta Nefab Americas'i regionaalses peakorteris Dallases (USA) juhtiv inseneriprojektijuht.

Kas saate meile rääkida oma praegusest olukorrast ja igapäevatööst? 

Iga päev pakub inseneriprojektijuhina uusi väljakutseid. Töötan erinevate projektide kallal, projekteerides unikaalseid lahendusi paljudele erinevatele toodetele, mis on pärit väga erinevatelt klientidelt. 

 

Enamasti ei ole projektid lihtsad, mistõttu on vaja kooskõlastamist ja suhtlemist mitme funktsiooni/tiimiga, et projekte edasi viia, nende edenemist kontrollida ja tüsistusi kõrvaldada. 

 

Ma suhtlen igapäevaselt mõne meie suurima kliendi globaalse meeskonnaga. Samuti teen pidevalt koostööd kohaliku meeskonnaga Dallases ja toetan kliente uute toodete lahenduste kavandamisel ning klientide olemasolevate pakendiprobleemide lahendamisel. 

 

Millised oskused on teie arvates vajalikud, et olla hea inseneriprojektijuht Nefabis? 

Kõige olulisem on minu arvates, et hea suhtlemisoskus on hädavajalik. Töö nõuab palju suhtlemist erinevate osakondade ja maailma eri paikade inimestega. Suhtlen nii kolleegide kui ka väliste osapooltega, näiteks klientide ja tarnijatega. 

 

Ilmselgelt on vaja projektijuhtimise oskusi, näiteks oskust korraldada koosolekuid, koolitusi ja koordineerida erinevaid ülesandeid samaaegselt. Samuti peate olema tehniliselt tugev ja tundma hästi erinevaid materjale, katsestandardeid ja palju muud. 

 

Nagu kõigi ametikohtade puhul ettevõttes, olete te tuleb uskuma meie pakutavatesse toodetesse, nautima ettevõtte kultuuri ja jagama selle väärtusi.

Mis teid oma töös kõige enam motiveerib? 

Mitmekesisus ja väljakutsed, mis hoiavad mind kogu aeg uusi asju õppimas! On pidev vajadus enesearengu järele, et vastata muutunud vajadustele või uutele nõuetele. Sa pead olema alati valmis ja sul ei ole kunagi igav, sest Nefab kasvab pidevalt, laiendab oma kliendibaasi ja toob uusi meeskonnaliikmeid, kellelt õpetada ja õppida! 

 

Mis iseloomustab Nefabi? 

 

Olen töötanud Nefabi kolmes erinevas kohas ja külastanud mitmeid kontoreid üle maailma; igas kohas on muidugi oma atmosfäär, kuid on mõned ühised asjad. Minu üldine tunne on, et Nefab on paindlik, väljakutseid pakkuv ja kiire, kuid samas ka väga toetav. Tööd tehakse professionaalselt ja tagasihoidlikult. Vibe on väga energiline ja dünaamiline ning see meeldib mulle tõeliselt. 

Kas te saate meile rääkida oma teekonnast Nefabis? 

2006. aastal lõpetasin ülikooli ja otsisin pakendiettevõtteid. Nefabi lähenemine pakendamisele oli teretulnud üllatus, sest nad olid üks vähestest ettevõtetest, kes keskendusid terviklikele pakendilahendustele. Samuti eristus ettevõtte kultuur teistest, kellega ma olin kokku puutunud. Mul on hea meel, et otsustasin vastu võtta Nefabi pakkumise vastu! 

 

Nii et pärast mõningaid aastaid Hiinas töötamist otsustasin ma kolida USA-sse San Jose'sse. Veetsin seal mõned aastad, enne kui kolisin Nefab Americas'i peakorterisse Dallasesse. See nõudis minult oma elu uuesti alustamist, uute sõprade leidmist ja linna tundmaõppimist. Sain Dallases kolleegidelt suurepärast toetust, nii et ümberasumine ei olnud lõppkokkuvõttes liiga raske. Olen väga tänulik nii võimaluse eest kolida kui ka toetuse eest, mida mulle pakuti!  

 

Nii et teil on nüüd vist sõpru üle kogu maailma? 

 

Noh, mitte kogu maailmast, aga kindlasti paljudest erinevatest kohtadest. On suurepärane, et töö kaudu saan ma on võimalik kogeda keelte, toitude ja kultuuride mitmekesisuse ilu üle kogu maailma! 

 

Kas teil on mõni näide kultuurilise kokkupõrke kohta? 

Suurim kokkupõrge, mida ma olen kogenud, on seotud keele ja meie suhtlemisviiside erinevustega. Hiinas, kui me midagi palume, võib olla üsna otsekohene, ilma et oleks vaja midagi küsimuse vormis küsida. USAs on olulisem olla viisakas ja kasutada selliseid sõnu nagu "palun, abi, aitäh" ja esitada küsimusi. 

 

Teine erinevus seisneb selles, kuidas kõvasti tööd võib tajuda erinevalt. Hiinas peetakse imetlusväärseks seda, et te isoleerite end, et täielikult keskenduda, mitte töötada meeskonnana või veeta aega jutuajamisega. USAs oodatakse, et te kulutaksite aega kolleegidega suhtlemiseks, kuigi töökoormus on suur. Ma olen nüüd õppinud seda tasakaalustama! 

  

Millised on teie mõtted tuleviku kohta? 

Praegu olen oma praegusest ametikohast väga põnevil, sest see võimaldab mul mõista kohalikku turgu, kultuuri ja tööviise siin USAs. Järgnevatel aastatel näen end võtvat endale rohkem juhtimisülesandeid ja arenevat juhina edasi. Samuti ootan põnevusega ettevõtte jätkuvat laienemist ja kasvu, sest olen kindel, et see toob tulevikus kaasa veel rohkem huvitavaid väljakutseid!

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>
