Share your career story.
My career, juxtaposed to many of my senior colleagues, is exploratory. I graduated college only 2 years ago, putting my career at its begging path. The experimental phase of being in your early twenties means taking risks, personally and professionally, to find your interests, passions and importantly desires in the workforce. This means discovering what “work” and “career” mean in the context of your individualized journey. My career, while projected in my mind (I hope) as successful and steady, at this moment is new and fresh, open for growth and development. I would describe my career as focused on gaining the skills to be my best self and apply those skills to my future with URW being an absolutely amazing place to foster my career’s journey.
What do you love most about your job? What are its biggest challenges?
You’re only as good as your team. It’s a simple lesson that requires quick understanding to really love the work you do. The people I work with are smart and strong and I love that they enable their strengths in me and my work. I love that there is a hunger to try new approaches and take risks, with those choices supported by my colleagues. What comes with a strong team is finding yourself and your voice in that environment; at a company as large as mine, it is challenging to feel your impact at a larger scope. It’s a struggle to apply the work you and your teammates do and feel other company employees experiencing the effort you put in. With that, a strong team supports you on a micro level leaving the majority of work and hard tasks, even small ones, being praised when deserved and admired if admirable.
你是如何进入这个行业的？你的重大突破是什么？
我进入这个行业是在风险中完成的。2019年，当我为现在的角色进行面试时，我在与现在的主管谈话时，感到很气馁，对预期的工作来说，资格不够，技能不足。我对自己的失望和对找不到适合自己的角色的恐惧令人心碎。我被困住了，很伤心，把自己的技能不足内化为不值得。一位朋友鼓励我挑战自己，把我的工作热情运用到我认为需要发展的技能上。在担心自己无法得到这份工作的几天后，我报名参加了在线课程，以帮助扩大我的技能范围。我联系了负责我案子的招聘人员，并表示在对我的面试进行反思后，我认识到自己缺乏对该职位的技能，但希望承认我在面试后采取的成长步骤。我发了一封邮件，阐述了我注册的发展课程，并表示如果被录取，我将每天努力工作，学习技能。5个小时后，招聘人员打电话给我，告诉我一个工作机会，目前我在这个职位上非常自豪和高兴。
What are some of your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Cooking and food are my passions. I spend free time on blogs and recipe development sites seeking inspiration for what to cook next. I host a tri-weekly dinner pop-up series called fEATuring where I use my love of cooking and apply it to social justice education and exploration. Gathered outside, I invite friends and peers to experience food and flavors from underrepresented countries and cultures to discuss the roots of that cuisine and the region’s history using food as a medium.
Do you have any words of advice?
Go the extra mile. Taking initiative, even if you aren’t the perfect candidate for something shows dedication, passion and grit. In the workplace, character counts.
