Job hunting is like dating. It’s

😳 Terrifying;
😳 Painful;

And completely life changing.

I’ve made plenty of pivots in my own career

Pivots that made absolutely no sense, but made perfect sense for me.

But finding that “perfect” career match?

Gosh, it’s been a journey.

From BlackRock > Fashion startup > Entrepreneur

I soon learned that my feelings of “dissatisfaction” weren’t my own.

Many people reached out asking if I could help them make their own scary career pivots.

Since then, I’ve helped people move from:

🔥 Google to founding a non-profit in Thailand
🔥 Accenture to healthcare startup 
🔥 Healthcare to journalist at Channel News Asia

And the strangest thing about these pivots?

It’s really not unlike dating 😝

You have to:

1️⃣ Know what you want

Didn’t we all have The List for our Ideal Partner? 🤣

2️⃣ Know how to “test drive” those relationships

If you decided on one date that the other person was The One, I salute you. Please leave a comment as I’d love to learn more! 😝

3️⃣ Know that most things aren’t for you

You won’t swipe right for everyone, right?!

4️⃣ Know how to “sell” yourself

The cringe-worthy, blurry photo of the other guy on Bumble with no captions or indications of interest?

No.

Hard pass please.

5️⃣ Know that a cheerleader is in your corner

Remember all those late night calls asking your besties whether that guy really is “The One”?!

You don’t have to go through this alone.

There are love experts, and also career experts.

I’ve made it my life mission to help people find and build a career that they love and will never regret.

If all it takes is a swipe to find your life partner…

Then who knows, maybe a DM will help you find your perfect “job”. 😏
