MOCA TALKS – Inside the Hiring Process: Insights for Your Next Career Move

What happens on the other side of the hiring desk, and how can understanding that process help you navigate your next career move? Join the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) for a conversation designed for professionals in the early and middle stages of their careers who are looking for a job or considering a change. Hear from human resources leaders about navigating New York City’s competitive job market, making informed career choices, and approaching your search with confidence. Drawing on decades of executive HR experience at Fortune 100 and midsize companies, Diana Lee and Paolo Palma will be joined by James Cheng, vice chairman of Asian American Dream, for an inside look at the hiring process. Alice Tang, a marketing strategist and founder of Empathy & Art, will moderate the discussion while sharing her perspective on building a career as a content creator. Together, they will explore how to prepare for interviews, follow up thoughtfully, avoid common mistakes, and sustain momentum during a challenging search. The discussion will also address career decisions, how AI is reshaping hiring and the workplace, and what these changes mean for job seekers. There will be time for audience questions. Help shape the discussion by submitting your questions on the registration checkout page.
