Your Career 'Gram

I'm thinking HELL YES! We aren't equipping new grads with basic career development tools like job search strategy (it's more than just submitting resumes and cover letter), salary negotiation tactics, conflict management, email etiquette, etc. _____ Think about how much drama you could've avoided if you had this info at your disposal before you started your career? I know I could be further along in my journey without some of the missteps I took. _____ What career advice do you wish someone told you at the beginning of your career?
Don't believe the hype. You can get paid to do what you love. And you can also do what you love even if you have little to no experience in it!⠀ _____⠀ Join my free masterclass next Thursday (via Facebook Live) to learn my P.A.T.H. Forward process to landing a job you have no experience in.⠀ _____⠀ Click the link in my bio or go to bit.ly/sixfigurejobseekers
By the time I turned 25 there'd been so many LIES told to me about my career. Whether it was from my parents, professors, bosses or coworkers. One of the BIGGEST lies was that my career had to follow a straight path and that whatever I wanted to do I needed to put my head down and get allll the experience first.⠀ _____⠀ That's why it shocked most people when I announced that even though I had ZERO experience in HR I was leaving my Operations gig and starting a HR Business Partner role at a Fortune 50 Investment Bank.⠀ _____⠀ People were again shocked when I announced I was leaving Finance altogether and trying my luck in Technology even though I had no clue what this industry was all about (or even what the company I was joining really did).⠀ _____⠀ Don't get me wrong, there are certain industries where relevant experience is key (ummm...my daughter's pediatrician BETTER have the right experience and credentials), but most jobs - most likely yours, definitely mine - aren't one of them.⠀ _____⠀ Join me next Thursday for my first ever Facebook Live where I'll teach you my P.A.T.H. Forward process to landing a job you have little to no experience in!⠀ _____⠀ I'll be streaming LIVE from my Facebook Group, so click the link in my bio to join or go to bit.ly/sixfigurejobseekers
Do you sometimes feel the key to happiness is more? More money, more promotions, more, more more. I can't be the only one. I've worked myself sick just trying to grab hold of more abs what I've found is my thinking was F'd up. _____ The key to happiness is contentment. _____⠀ I know I talk a lot about asking for more, getting paid what you deserve and hitting #sixfigurestatus but the pursuit of these things shouldn't mean you lose sight of what's important to you.⠀ _____⠀ Six Figure Status is a mindset more than anything else. Yes, you won't settle for less than you deserve. Of course you're always striving to be above average. But you're also always grateful for where you are and where you've come from. You know that getting the right salary is important, but the right experience is far more valuable.⠀ _____ Just some food for thought on this beautiful Wednesday morning.
As you know, I'm a HR expert and career coach and to me, there's no greater satisfaction than helping women snatch up more coins, upgrade their job search and get obsessed with their career. _____ My passion and purpose have collided...and it's an indescribable feeling. _____ You can get paid to do what you love. Double tap if you believe it!
Yesterday's post about respecting your career timeline and honoring your pace (shout out to everyone who let me know they understood the message) got me reminiscing about my solo trip to South Africa last year. I don't think I've ever experienced such intense clarity about my career and life - there's nothing like deliberately taking time to be alone with yourself and your thoughts. _____ I wanted to share my top two takeaways from my trip with you. _____ (one) The main reason a lot of us struggle with accelerating our careers and end up moving toward our goals at what seems like a snail's pace is because we lack the information, network and access to help us reach our goals. This is even more prevalent for women of color. We often don't have the mentors or the inside knowledge. It holds us back. _____ (two) Information alone (without action) is useless. The thing that separates successful careers from average one is transformation. And transformation is the act of combining knowledge AND action. One without the other will just have you spinning your wheels. _____ If you're struggling with your career and not sure what your next move should be. Or if you're crystal clear what you're next move should be, but just not sure how to get from here to there, you should enroll in my free masterclass next Wednesday. I'll be teaching you how to snatch up more coins, upgrade your job search and FINALLY get obsessed with your career. _____ The gloves are off and it's time to attack your boring career head on. Learn the strategies you need to transform your career once and for all. _____ Sign up for class (for free) at the link in my bio or go to http://bit.ly/sixfiguremasterclass
The worst two years of my life were 2010 and 2011 when I was on a team with a horrible boss and mean coworkers. I used to cry on Monday mornings and pretty much walk around with my stomach in knots all week. It was then I realized how crucial it is to surround yourself with positive, likeminded people. _____ They say you're the average of the five people you hang around and if that's the case I'm glad I have this FB group filled with high achieving and ambitious women ready to upgrade their job search! _____ Wanna sit with us?

For years I'd beat myself up for not "making it" as quickly as I thought I should. I'd tell myself: "You're 25, 30, 33...about to be 35, 40...you should've already accomplished this or that. _____ The truth is: We don't all get to our destinations at the same time. It doesn't matter how old you are or who's already accomplished what or how long things are "supposed" to take. WE WON'T ALL GET TO OUR DESTINATIONS AT THE SAME TIME. _____ The sooner you respect your process and honor your pace, the more intentional you can be about designing the life and career you're meant to have. _____ This isn't pie in the sky, it's #factsoflife _____ Stop worrying about what so and so is doing. You shouldn't care (I know I don't). Worry about what the next immediate step on your journey is and how amazing it'll feel when you get there.
