BIOGRAPHY
LINH T. QUACH, Founder
http://www.qintlsourcing.com/images/pic-linh-quach.jpgLinh T. Quach founded Q International, Inc. in 2003 and shortly after, left her corporate management position with American Airlines to concentrate on her company’s growth. While at American, she had the unique opportunity to facilitate the bilateral agreement between American and Vietnam Airlines which inspired her to look for further opportunities to help both countries rebuild their war-torn relationship. Realizing that this agreement was a significant catalyst to opening doors for further commercial relationships between the two countries, Ms. Quach has dedicated her career to building the bridge for both countries to benefit from each other’s needs and resources. In turn, her company’s focus is to help small businesses in the U.S. benefit from the growing commercial and manufacturing opportunities in Vietnam as well as other countries that provide low-cost and high-quality production.
Ms. Quach received both her Bachelors Degree in Economics and her Masters in International Business from Columbia University. She has also traveled extensively around the world which gives her a unique global perspective and understanding for doing business overseas. She speaks fluent Vietnamese and has had formal training in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese.
Ms. Quach has been recognized by the World Economic Forum as a New Asian Leaderfor her contributions in promoting commerce between the United States and Vietnam. She has participated on the Forum’s Advisory Panel where she has counseled business owners and government leaders on conducting operations and building prosperous relationships with Asian nations.

If you don’t get any job the third time around, it’s time to try something else. Think of the process as a poker game: you can only go ‘all in’ so many times before you have to cut your losses and begin to consider non-academic jobs. This is especially the case if you are offered a post-doc, a lectureship, or some kind of adjunct position. In each case you have to be very honest with yourself, and your advisor needs to be honest with you, about whether such positions will lead to a tenure-track position down the road (if that’s what you’re after). 3. Your primary sources of information on job openings are the...
