About

Hey. I’m Take and I recently left corporate America to pursue some passion projects. If I’ve learned anything during these hectic times, it’s that life is too short to be sitting on Zoom calls when the surf is good.

Previously, I helped hire 200+ interns/new college grads @LinkedIn, Developed partnerships with leading advertisers across Malaysia at Google, and have traveled/hiked/scuba’d extensively through SE Asia and Europe.

I’m fortunate to have so many of you reach out to me with career related questions and requests. I love taking these calls because I still make them myself. I know they can be informative at the least and transformative at best.

• Landing an internship/job - resume review, LinkedIn profile tips, Application strategy, interview prep, offer negotiation, early in career general advice

• Scaling a Recruiting Team - funnel/data tracking, efficient interview processes, events, diversity hiring, anything University recruiting

• Working Remotely - I’ve been working remotely from Hawaii for 5 years, and have some solid tricks and tips

• Sabbaticals/career pivots - Change is scary. Let me help be a sounding board and plan how to take that leap and the steps to get there

• Real Estate Investing in Short-Term rentals (Oahu) - From identifying eligible properties to renovating, scaling, & automating Airbnbs

STEP 1

Donation

Surfing a wave is one the best feelings in the world, and I believe that everyone should be able to someday get the opportunity.

For my time, all I ask is a donation of $50 to AccessSurf ($30 for students). AccessSurf is bringing the joy of surfing to those who need a little extra push before gliding across the water. Surfing has become a fundamental part of who I am and I wouldn’t be who I am today without it.

Impacted by 2020? Life isn’t linear. If you’re unemployed or personal finances aren’t so hot right now, I’ll waive the donation and trust that you’ll pay it forward when you’re back on your feet. We’ll use the honor code here.
