Discovering a career that is meant for you can be life-changing! Many of us have been stuck in draining jobs, hoping for a change that can bring a better balance to pursue interests outside of work. In my own journey, I learned the impact of choosing the wrong career…
As a Real Estate Associate at a Commercial Brokerage Firm, making 100 cold calls daily left me burnt out and unhappy. I decided to take a leap and became a Software Sales Specialist at Cisco. It completely transformed the way I treat work. I feel fairly compensated and I have the time to pursue activities I enjoy outside of work.
Here are 3 tips for finding a career that suits you:
Explore and Research: To discover a job aligned with your aspirations, explore different industries. Reach out to professionals on LinkedIn or people you know in industries you are curious about. It’s a great starting point to find the right fit for you!
Include career-aligned metrics in your resume: Translate your experience to fit any industry of interest. Emphasize specific metrics to showcase your accomplishments and the impact of your actions.
Network strategically to enter your desired industry: Cultivate a robust professional network by attending industry events, joining relevant associations or groups, and connecting with professionals who can provide guidance and potential job prospects.
