Is your Dream Job just a myth and what is career success?

/ No Comments

I’m going to dispel the myth that I personally, do not believe in the ‘dream job’.

When you are first entering the working world, you are encouraged to fuel a belief and ideal, of your perfect job and that it is something that you aspire to achieve. However, very quickly you learn that many factors need to line up for a dream job to become a reality.

You’ll have your dream role, or a dream industry but over time your wants, needs and aspirations change as you grow older, develop experience, and increase your exposure to different working environments and people.

Interview Anxiety: reasons why an interview is stressful for someone with anxiety

/ 2 Comments

Interview anxiety is something so many people suffer with. At various points in life, you will recognise that change is on the horizon and it is time to get a new job. If only one could get a job from your credentials on paper alone, eh?

But there has been a gap until now identifying the reasons why an interview is stressful for someone with anxiety, and about applying those interview tips and advice I have shared previously, to somebody with anxiety… somebody just like me.

Rightly or wrongly, I go into an interview and treat it like a performance, a display of my best self demonstrating my personality and my capability for the role I am in contention for.

The fact that my interview anxiety is going mad behind the scenes and I am a ball of insecurity on the inside shouldn’t prevent me from getting the role. And it shouldn’t be the same for you either.

How to Get a New Job & Recognising the Need for Change

/ No Comments

How to get a new job: I think it’s important to acknowledge that not all recognition for change means a change of role and/or workplace, sometimes solutions can be suggested and found internally.

However, sometimes even with the best intentions at heart, trying to enforce change within a workplace and/or team proves too challenging and the change you seek can only come from acknowledging it’s time to move on elsewhere.

How to start a career in Marketing: My Four tips to get you started

/ No Comments

A colleague recently came to me for some advice about how to get a career in marketing, acknowledging that it is a new work path they would like to explore, but not too sure where to start.

For the lowdown for how I (finally) landed in marketing, you want to read my Graduate Experience Post, and if you have an interview coming up, you might want to read my post about How to Nail an Interview also. Meanwhile however, I thought I would put together a post sharing some advice (and experience) about how you can start a career in marketing.
