Career Speaker in Taiwan: Data-Driven Job Search Talks for Universities and Teams

I'm Coach Chiao (George), a career coach and the author of Data-Driven Job Search. I run job search workshops for international students, GMBA and IMBA programs, and teams: participants learn to read their own application numbers, see which stage they're stuck at, and leave with a next step.

Former Amazon engineer who once held offers from five countries at the same time. With this method I've helped 300+ people land offers across 20 countries.

Job search talks and workshops for international students

Three topics, each adjusted to your audience. Each works as a single session or as a series.

  1. The data-driven job search mindset

    Best for: International students, GMBA/IMBA cohorts, anyone starting a search

    A hundred applications with no reply doesn't mean you're not good enough; your sample size just isn't big enough yet. Break job hunting into four conversion stages (applications, responses, interviews, offers) and you'll know whether to send more, or which stage to fix.

  2. Find the stage where you're stuck

    Best for: Students and professionals who are already applying

    Many people say "my résumé is terrible", when often they do get interviews and struggle in the later rounds. Use your own numbers to find the stage that is really holding you back, then decide what to change.

  3. Job hunting abroad: numbers from 33 job seekers

    Best for: International students deciding where to work after graduation

    Three cohorts of the Overseas Job Search Marathon, 33 participants. Of the 26 who had started applying, the median had already sent 136 applications when they joined, 7,606 in total. What these numbers tell us.

Talk60–90 min
For a whole cohort or an open session. Participants see how to read their own job search as numbers, and which stage to work on next.
Workshop2–3 hours
Participants bring their own application history and leave with a tracked funnel and a next step. Smaller groups, or breakouts for larger ones.
Language and placeEnglish or Mandarin
In person in Taiwan (based in Taipei) or online, including for universities outside Taiwan.

For international offices and GMBA/IMBA programs

Most career talks only collect a satisfaction score. I ask the same students a few questions before and after, so you get numbers that show change, on one page, on the day.

  1. Pre-survey: a few questions in your registration form: target industry and role, how many applications so far, where people get stuck.
  2. Tailored content: examples and emphasis adjusted to what your students actually report.
  3. Post-survey: five minutes at the end, matched to the pre-survey.
  4. One-page report: handed to the organizer on the day, ready for your activity report.

For companies and communities

Talks for employee groups, alumni associations and professional communities, especially people planning a move abroad or a change of field: how to read their own job search numbers, where cross-border applications usually drop off, and what to fix first.
