Dana Muntean has a professional career and, generally, a life that can be compared to a kaleidoscope. For sure, it is not a classic journey. She tried so many things that one could wonder how this is even possible and she finally found her true vocation.<\/p>\n

About trying everything<\/h3>\n

Dana was always an enthusiastic and restless girl. While doing her studies in International Economic Relations at the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova, she was also trying to seize any opportunity. During her second year, Dana ventured to participate in a Russian language negotiation championship for young managers, although she wasn\u2019t a manager at that time, and she didn\u2019t have a native level of Russian. \u201cI remember the moment when the recruiter asked me about what I was doing there and why they should even choose me. She said the competition director liked my ambition and the craving to think that I could do it. After the championship, I received 3 job offers at 3 different PR agencies from Moldova. I have accepted to work at Parc Communications,\u201d recalls Dana.<\/p>\n

In parallel, Dana was the editor of the faculty\u2019s informative bulletin in English and founded a club of discussions on economic topics. Afterwards, our protagonist turned her attention to journalism while working at All Moldova and interviewing young entrepreneurs. When she moved to the USA for an exchange year at Bard College, Dana started to write for the BGIA’s online publication. Besides, she was involved in a lot of other activities such as acting, learning Italian, doing internships and volunteering. \u201cI managed to obtain a bigger understanding of how an organization works by being involved in PR, marketing and sales.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dana even managed a team at the Diaspora Relations Bureau, moved to London for studies and was hired by the Next Jump company to work in sales. \u201cAfter a while, I understood that I wasn\u2019t passionate about the product I was selling & decided to move away from sales, and I decided to do marketing at Google and later Facebook. Finally, I realized that I actually miss & really like sales & negotiations. That\u2019s why I am a Client Partner at Workplace by Facebook now. I do not just sell a software, but the future of work, by helping companies achieve the digital and cultural transformation they aspire to,\u201d says Dana.<\/p>\n

If there is a conclusion that needs to be drawn from this sinuous story, as Dana mentions, is that \u201cyou don\u2019t have to worry about being different, experiencing, making crazy changes that no one understands. It won\u2019t hinder your career. On the contrary, it can speed it up.\u201d Dana thinks that every experience she had, helped her advance by opening new doors and awakening her curiosity.<\/p>\n

About finding her passion<\/h3>\n

After a long process of searching, Dana finally found that thing that fascinated her the most: \u201cMy passion is to connect ideas with people, and sales is one of those areas where I can do it the best. This is where I want to be.\u201d She managed to blend her passion and her job.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t an easy process. \u201cSometimes, one runs away from what suits him the best. In my case, it’s sales.\u201d Dana says that previously, she had a wrong perception about what sales really means. \u201cSales is about solving the clients’ challenges, advising and helping them to find the best solution. Even though, that is not necessarily the product you sell. Sales also mean negotiations, which I really like, the persuasion game that can be compared to a dance. In the end, something very beautiful can be accomplished. There is a lot of networking in sales as well.\u201d Dana dreams about becoming one of the top negotiators in the world one day.<\/p>\n

About MentorMe<\/h3>\n

MentorMe is the first Moldovan diaspora mentoring program. It was founded by Dana, along with an initiative group that was also working on another diaspora project that aimed to raise awareness in Moldova over exceptional academic achievement of students and Moldovan\u00a0alumni abroad.<\/p>\n

\u201cMentorMe is a project that has a huge impact on hundreds of young people. It was founded in 2014 as a response to a problem that all people usually faced when they went to live abroad. Namely, the need of getting useful information and deciding about the future major, the right job, the application process for an internship, the way of getting a job promotion, etc. MentorMe has the role of connecting experts with beginners,\u201d explains Dana.<\/p>\n

The platform can easily connect two people from two different corners of the world. \u201cWe have expanded our activity. MentorMe is not just for the diaspora nowadays. We aim to connect all Moldovan and Romanian young people in the world.\u201d The mentoring relationship implies that the mentee establishes a series of goals and tries to achieve them, with the help of a mentor, as Dana points out. Anyone can become a mentor or a mentee. To access this community, the interested person has to register and create a profile. The future mentors\u2019 profiles are evaluated and passed through a selection process. \u201cWe are now developing a framework to facilitate the interaction between mentors and mentees, and to advise both parties about initiating and organizing conversations,\u201d mentions Dana.<\/p>\n

\u201cMentorMe reflects my passion of connecting people, but also of building a team of people all over the world: Chi\u0219in\u0103u, London, Copenhagen, Berlin, Edinburgh, Bucharest. All these people want to contribute with something to the development of the country they came from and choose to do it in their free time.\u201d At the moment, the project has released a beta version of the platform and gathers feedback from those who already use it. According to Dana, this is crucial for shaping a good product. The team working on the project, formed of 11 volunteers, also managed to find local partners. \u201cWe need them to help reaching more people. We work with Tekwill, the Educational Advising Center, and we are always open to new partnerships.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the main challenges faced during the implementation of the project, Dana mentions that the most important challenge is to understand where they want to get. \u201cThe team is very diverse, each of us sees the project in a certain way. It’s a challenge to listen to each other, to establish a common vision.\u201d Another challenge is the time management: \u201cWe are a team of volunteers who also have full-time jobs or studies. It is important to find time and to prioritize this project in order to make it grow.\u201d Dana mentions that it is not easy to find local partners in order to build the MentorMe youth community, as well as to get funds and maintain the project’s sustainability.<\/p>\n

About working at Google and Facebook<\/h3>\n

\u201cIt happens that we think something is impossible from the beginning and don\u2019t even want to try. Companies like Facebook and Google look for the best specialists in the world, but also for young, flexible, ambitious, innovative, entrepreneurs, who are not afraid to develop their ideas and to initiate new projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dana says she was always thinking of working in such companies. However, she hadn\u2019t managed to get accepted on her first try. She had been refused when applying for the first time for scholarship program at Warwick University or for a job at these world giants. The thing is, she never gave up. \u201cI applied to Google and Facebook when I was a master student, but I wasn\u2019t accepted. I didn\u2019t even reach the interview stage. That happened because I wasn\u2019t aware of their interview process and didn\u2019t know how to better deal with it. Meanwhile, I was working in sales for a company in London, where I managed to have my own sales team. After some time, I happened to be approached by a Google recruiter through LinkedIn. I realized that I have friends who already worked there and asked them about the interviewing process. The inside information helped me to prepare better. I knew what to expect and what to focus on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Our protagonist advises people that want to apply for a job at such companies not to be afraid, to take advantage of every experience, even of failures, to find mentors that could help them reach their goal much faster, to explore opportunities and to create a valuable network.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you do not take the job at first, the experience of going through the selection process, reflecting on your strengths and weaknesses, is already a very good exercise.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

She reveals that her experience of initiating projects and being always active have helped her a lot to get the jobs she wanted. \u201cIt awakened my curiosity and demonstrated my values \u200b\u200band capacities, as well as my interests in social work. If a person is in high school or at university, he or she should not be limited to studies. There must be extracurricular activities, volunteering, discussion club initiatives, project participation, elderly social assistance, summer schools, courses, reading books, networking, anything that could contribute to your growth. Go above and beyond!\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, there is the other side of the coin. As Dana states, by having such an active lifestyle, it is easy to lose the balance and forget about doing sport, taking regular breaks, or rewarding oneself with some small things. She is still working on that. \u201cIt’s hard to disconnect from what you do and love. I could work nonstop, including the weekends. That is why I put some rules in place, as I need to make sure that my personal life is not ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Moldova<\/h3>\n

Dana is proud that she comes from Moldova. Thus, there are some things that Moldovans need to be aware of, according to her: \u201cThere is no clear picture about Moldova in this world. People don\u2019t know about us. In most cases, I am the first Moldovan they meet, and they are curious to find out more. We lack an interesting story about Moldova that we could tell others.\u201d It\u2019s a pity, as Dana says, that some Moldovans even hide their origins. \u201cI remember I was at a party in Washington DC and I was introduced to another Moldovan who was not very excited that his nationality was revealed. I think it is important to remember our origins. This is what makes us special. Imagine that we have a white canvas that we can paint as we wish and create our image as a country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dana goes to Moldova at least 3 times a year.<\/p>\n

\u201cNext time I go to Moldova is for elections on February 24th<\/sup>. My vote matters 50X more at home.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Every time she misses home, she listens to her favourite Moldovan songs, reads a book in Romanian, tries to reconnect with friends from home, pays a visit to the beloved ones or meets them somewhere else.<\/p>\n

Dana thinks that people in diaspora can do more than just complain about the situation at home. \u201cThe problems in Moldova are not someone else’s. They are ours too. So, let\u2019s get involved. If there is no desire to invest time and effort for a cause, people from diaspora could find a newspaper, an NGO, an initiative group and support them financially. Money, time and ideas are major contributions. Just do it!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
