We're looking for two people who are good friends with each other, who love to get out and mingle with the crowds, who can easily swing great appetizer and drink deals with popular venues for our members, and who would love to be the faces of ORIENTED Taipei, to lead our Happy Hours there!
If you or someone you know in Taipei would be interested in this fantastic opportunity, raise your hand now and let us know!
Doing business in Asia (or with Asian companies worldwide) is all about "guanxi", or building relationships, face-to-face. Meeting new people strictly online via LinkedIn or Facebook can never take the place of this critical aspect unique to the Asian business culture.
You will have the opportunity to network with other ORIENTED members and organizers -- a worldwide network of outstanding professionals who themselves have vested interests in the Asia-Pacific arena -- as well as officers of local community groups, members of the media, corporate sponsors, and more.
Establish your brand.
At the end of the day, it's not about whom you know, but who knows you. As the face of ORIENTED in your city, you will enjoy exposure on both the local and international level. It's not uncommon for our organizers to be approached with job offers and business opportunities on a regular basis. Some have been featured in the press!
Develop your professional skills.
Build your resume by gaining valuable work experience that is directly applicable to your career - or that you may not otherwise have the chance to try in your current capacity. By being involved with ORIENTED, you will have many opportunities to develop your leadership and communication skills, as well as experience with budget management, event planning, public speaking, marketing & promotions, and more.
Give back to the community.
Help your peers in the international community accomplish their professional goals by providing a regular forum to network and exchange information.
Being involved as a community leader with ORIENTED is a great way to build your resume while doing something both meaningful and fun.
Active organizers are regularly invited by other organizations in the community to join them in their upcoming events and activities - annual business conferences, private movie screenings, year-end galas, cultural events, private receptions, and more.
Often, organizers are given complimentary passes in return for assistance in helping to promote the events to our members.
Be involved with us.
Known to many as the "heartbeat of Asia Pacific," ORIENTED is one of the most widely-respected professional organizations in the world today and has been featured in the media in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, San Francisco, and others.
By being involved with us, doors will open for you in ways that you may never have imagined. Finally, for just a few hours of your time each month, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
Help your peers in the international community accomplish their professional goals by providing a regular forum to network and exchange information.
