Her parents are both Chinese immigrants that moved their children with the hallucination of providing them with a better education. Both her parents are very educated large tot up and they go down high standards for Jung and expected her to work trying for what she wanted and to uprise through as a lot as possible without losing sight of her heritage and values. She has eternally stated that she was not a very reasoned student development up, only when her parents would eat uper something in return for her earning straight As. Every duration she wanted something she knew she would hold up to study really hard to get It and Its because of this that she impute her parents with furthering her resolve and ambition. 1 While In high nurture she got involve In extra-curricular activities, specially the student body, she served as class secretary and past president. After high school, Jung attended Princeton university and earned a BAA mark in English Literature. She decid ed to take a break from school and hoped to attend law school afterwards, scarce she enjoyed her Job so much that she decided that perhaps that was her calling. Jung attended a college career fair and she was chartered by Bloodinesss for a management-training program. She had at first figured the experience would come in helpful once she started workings on her law degree, but she realized that she really enjoyed working In retail. Her parents TLD agree with her decision of working In the retail business and they dictum her choice of career as a waste of a good college education. Jung made a bracing move along the way and chose a mentor. Having a mentor was good for Jung as she was very in(predicate) and had become the comp whatsoevers first female evil president.Jung knew she could learn a lot from her and she did. Jung learned that men didnt train women executives as strong but weak beings and found that the majority of women in the employment didnt support other women and it was a tough environment. Some people average wait for someone to take them under their wing, he said. Vie forever advised that they shouldnt wait. They should find someones wings to grab onto. 3 Jung made it a point to become successful and she worked hard at It and didnt let any misconceptions or put downs get In her way or set her back. Jung had other Jobs and as she moved she worked her way up the chain. Junks outgoing temperament was helpful and she made friends and networked with many then she went on to work at Newman Marcus as the executive vice president in charge of merchandising. L She learned a lot along the way, especially the importance off good self image. If she wanted to be successful she had to look successful and she knew how most-valuable it was to have a good image. She really enjoyed her work but she was also hungry for a challenge and she found it when she started working as a adviser for Avon.The companys executives really liked Jung ideas as a consul tant so they decided to acquire her as president of product selling group for U. S. Operations. L The company found themselves needing a CEO and Jung and common chord other women thought that they had a good chance of getting picked as they had all worked for the company for quite some time. Unfortunately Avon decided to hire someone from the outside and this was a disappointment because this was a man whom they saw as having no experience in the industry.Not long after though, Mr Perrine, the flow rate CEO, resigned and opened the door for Jung to step right in. She became Vans ninth president and CEO. 2 Avon has gone through many changes since Jung came onboard, the products have definitely become more than updated and they now target a wide variety of customers. You can see anything from dresses, shoes, purses, items targeting children, and of course beauty products. They have products targeting women of all ages and the prices easily beat prices on high stores. One thing th at has attracted me to Avon lately is the different campaigns that support grand causes. Breast Cancer is one of them, Jung grandmother died of breast cancer at the age of 63. 2 This was a deep loss for Jung, who recalled, It was the early Seventies, and the C-word was forbid in our house. She didnt want us around her in case it was contagious. on that point was fear about the subject (London Times, June 29, 2002). 2 The other cause is called, authorize Women Campaign, this s an important cause because it fights to end violence against women.Jung has worked hard to get to where she is. She was brought up with good family values and has always made trusted her family was not affected by the numerous meetings and business trips she has had to attend. Her family is very important and she has said that she has missed some of her childrens events, but not the important ones. L Jung was featured in the October 2010 issue of Fortune Magazine and was ranked number 5 among the 50 Most Po werful Women. She is a great muliebrity and someone I can certainly say I have learned a lot from.
