BUT HERE'S THE TWIST...
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.”
- Steve Jobs
"It is easy to see how the building blocks I assembled early in my career helped set the stage for my career path, but in reality there were many twists and turns - some chosen, some born out of necessity. I did not waltz into the professional scene with a master plan. In fact, I had no idea what I wanted to do when I graduated from college. I had to start with self-exploration. I ran into dead ends, and I had to overcome my shyness to start asking impressive people questions about their careers.
I was open to opportunity and was prepared when I caught some lucky breaks, and I continue to take on new challenges as I pivot to career coaching.
And guess what? I survived, learned, and mastered the job search steps. And I am confident that I can help you too. Job search tools may have evolved since the 1990s, but hard work, research, networking, and communication will always be critical."
