About this listen
In this episode, we sit down with Junyi Peng — Master’s student in Applied Linguistics at the University of Reading, Student Ambassador, scholarship recipient, entrepreneur, and founder of a youth community with 700+ members.
Junyi shares why she turned down offers from prestigious universities in the US and elsewhere to study at Reading, and how this decision shaped her unique journey. From navigating cultural adaptation through programs like Host UK, to leading as Vice President of Education at Toastmasters, she reveals how stepping out of the comfort zone accelerates growth.
We also dive into her career path as entrepreneur who landed her first UK client not by sending countless CVs, but by building networks and delivering value. Along the way, she explains her philosophy of “networking not as asking, but as bringing offerings”, and how personal branding and social media can transform opportunities: “It’s not you looking for jobs, it’s jobs finding you.”
Whether you’re an international student or simply curious about career planning, networking, and self-branding, this conversation is packed with practical insights and inspiring stories.
