P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"I'm Karishma Singh. I am a digital and corporate communications in the marketing department at Flextronics, which is an end-to-end supply chain business. Basically, everything you see, we make, so it's a very vast business. My job is the social media, that's my responsibility. So yes, I sit behind the computer with my evil hashtags, doing the Facebook posts and stuff like that. But it's great. It's in 30 different countries, we have 230,000 employees, and we turn over about $35 billion a year. So it's a huge company, and it's really fun to do marketing for them. I just graduated-- yay me, finally-- in communication. So that was the path I took. I kind of fell into the niche of social media. A lot of people don't realize how, again, vast communication is. There's PR, there's the law and ethics side of it, and then there's the social side of it, and I fell into the social niche. But that's how I came to be at Flextronics. I was an intern, I'm sort of still an intern. Hoping to go full time, but it's really fun and it's great, because a lot of people think you have to know a lot, and you're going in. But being a fresh mind, especially in the social space, is really great. What I wish I had known when I was younger was to not sit in the back. Speak up. If you have an idea, you are the voice of this next generation. Your ideas are our innovations for the future, and that's going to continue to move us forward in any business. So doesn't matter if you think your idea is silly, nine times out of 10, it's going to be amazing, so make sure you speak out. Don't sit in the background.
