The sales job at 5<sup>th<\/sup> Avenue was wonderful, but I was ready to move in a new direction at the end of the 1-year tenure. So, when I saw this golden opportunity to transfer back to China, I snatched it up as quickly as possible. Now, that isn\u2019t to say that I didn\u2019t have to work for it. It took me four different interviews to get this new position. Thankfully, interviews are not that big of a deal after spending so much time in the Career Services office back at Wabash.<\/p>\n<p>My new position as a PR Assistant is rigorous and challenging. Some of my major job functions have included celebrity relations, media relations, and event planning. Since I started in May, I have been dealing with more than thirty different fashion media representatives, and 1<sup>st<\/sup>-tier celebrities on a daily basis. I do a lot of the personal styling for celebrities with Louis Vuitton products during red carpet debuts and other events. On the fashion magazine side, I have also been getting more and more familiar with the editors of GQ, Esquire, Vogue, Elle, and several other big names. I provide content for these media outlets and \u201cfeed\u201d them with the newest trends from the brand and work to get us more coverage.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_525\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-525\" style=\"width: 211px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/plastics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2012\/11\/Tian_Magazine-Clipping.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-525\" title=\"Tian_Magazine Clipping\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/plastics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2012\/11\/Tian_Magazine-Clipping-211x300.jpg\" alt=\"Tian_Magazine Clipping\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/plastics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2012\/11\/Tian_Magazine-Clipping-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/plastics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2012\/11\/Tian_Magazine-Clipping-721x1024.jpg 721w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/plastics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2012\/11\/Tian_Magazine-Clipping.jpg 1265w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-525\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tian holding the September issue of &#8220;Numero&#8221; magazine with 23 pages of editorials coverage on Louis Vuitton, tagged by the pink stick-it notes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor\u2019s Note: Here is an update from Tian Tian &#8217;11, who has moved to Louis Vuitton China.
