You should know that...

2020 is coming up fast and you know what? YOU HAVE GOT THIS!

I wish someone had told me this 5 years ago when things were horrible in my life. I was out of work for a long time and my savings had disappeared. I was in a PANIC. Did I land my dream job at first? No way! I was cleaning houses and scrubbing toilets for a few dollars an hour, but I kept pushing forward until I found a job that I loved and so can YOU. Because no matter what life throws at us…

WE CAN DO ANYTHING!

• If someone tells you that you can’t remind yourself why YOU can • If you fall down YOU get right back up and keep going • If you begin to doubt yourself just know that YOU are capable • If you want it badly enough, believe that YOU can make it happen

If I could go back and give my future self some advice it would be to look for jobs where they care about me, update my resume more often than once every two years (haha) and when things get tough not to be scared to ask for help and support whether I have a job or I don’t.

Now it’s your turn!

What is some career advice you would tell your future self?

Hard Worker dependable honest loyalty

The most boring job you have to know how to entertain yourself and co workers. And if you do it right like I have you'll be doing it 43 years.

Love this...great words of wisdom. I would tell myself to go for things that I enjoy rather than for the money because you spend so much time working. Also, I would remind myself that if something doesn't feel like a good fit then it probably isn't. Move on without wasting too much time!!
