Collaborative team player with ownership mentality and a track record of delivering the highest quality strategic solutions to resolve challenges and propel business growth.
The reason I have been self employed for the majority of my adult years is because I never had someone in the corporate world, care enough to explain how to navigate life during and after college. A lot of students like myself are told to go to college so you can get your degree and find a job, but no one ever told me how to navigate college properly so you can align yourself with the right career that speaks to your resume. If I was my younger self, I would say get a degree/ career that speaks to your soul. If you wake up everyday thinking about it, do it !! Once you have enrolled into college get a mentor and career coach who can assist with your mock Interviews, networking events and professional resume.

Here's 2 mistakes I made on my post grad job hunt and my advice for new/recent graduates to help them avoid them: (part 2 of what I'd do to increase my chances of finding an entry level role post grad: https://lnkd.in/g5jJY2VP) 1. Not applying to rotational programs I WISH I knew about new grad rotational programs when I was on my search. They're a great way to 1) ease into corporate world, 2) helpful if you don't have much professional experience, and 3) give you exposure to different departments in an industry you're interested. ⭐ Here's my content about rotational programs with 50+ programs to check out: https://lnkd.in/eRNxj9Eh https://lnkd.in/dcTZpGzf https://lnkd.in/gWx4kkHf 2. Mass applying to roles with the same resume I thought having 1 resume with all of my experiences was enough but I realized that my past resumes weren't clear and specific enough about the role(s) I was interested in. I know you're probably tired of hearing this but you need to tailor your resume to the roles/industry you're applying for. If you're interested in roles across different industries, create different resumes for that industry. For example, I have: - a Marketing/Sales resume that lists all of my past marketing and sales roles - a University Recruiting resume that lists all of my past relevant uni recruiting experience - a general resume with all of my experiences ⭐ Here's content i have about creating a standout resume: https://lnkd.in/ghu4eZgi https://lnkd.in/gZ4gcnvx ⭐ Additional Resources: - Here's a helpful guide to help you on your job hunt: https://lnkd.in/girxUSaY - Tomorrow, I'm hosting a panel on WayUp with a group of talented early career folks sharing how to find an entry level post graduation!
