Oh, ha ha. I guess I focused on the Korean part and I am like,"I am not Korean?" I love that video too. I don't think people know what to expect from me when they see my name. They don't know if I am female or male. And since I kept my married name, it really screws them up. So when I answer the phone and I speak in perfect English, it throws some people off. Sometimes I wonder if that is why I don't get called for jobs because they don't know if a person with that kind of name can possibly speak English well enough to do presentations in front of the CFO and CEO. I have landed every single job I have interviewed for so I am pretty confident once I get called in. I feel like people have to see me face to face. Funny how the world works. I read an article once where a guy (mechanic) named Tracy, who had years and years of experience, tried to get a new job and didn't get called for one interview. Then he tried something new, changed his first name to his middle name instead of Tracy and he landed a job and several interviews that same week. Interesting...
