Session: From Books to Bots: A Celebration of Nonlinear Career Paths & Transitions
After spending almost 8 years in book publishing, Alie wanted to change her career but had no idea where to start. Deciding to embrace her winding career journey, she tapped into her unique strengths to find her dream job. She'll share with audiences how they can do the same - sparing you from unread job applications, awkward cover letters, cold LinkedIn messages, and the worry and self-doubt that come with a career transition.Key Takeaways
- The first step in a career transition is looking inwards: identify your values, evaluate your circumstances, and determine the nonnegotiables.
- For those who don't know what they want to do, but know they want a change: embrace the messy, charged emotions that come up, they will become your compass.
- Sometimes the best way to move forward is to move backwards: don’t judge the process.
- How to reverse engineer your dream job.
