Introduction: The Power of Taking Action in Your Career

It’s amazing what can happen when you stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start taking action toward your career goals. One year ago, I met Cassie at the gym—she was in the middle of her grad program and already dreaming of a career pivot. Little did we know, her journey would take a turn for the better much sooner than she expected.

Cassie’s Career Dreams: A Grad Program and a Distant Future

When Cassie and I first connected, she was focused on finishing her grad program and believed she’d be ready for a career change in about a year. She was determined but unsure of when or how to start. Like many of us, she had doubts and questioned whether it was the right time to make a leap. But after a few deep conversations and, of course, some deadlifts, I encouraged her to take action now—not later.

Taking Action: Optimizing the Resume and Going for It

Cassie listened, and we set to work. Together, we optimized her resume to showcase her strengths and experience in the best possible light. We worked on highlighting her transferable skills and tailoring her resume to appeal to the positions she was eyeing. It didn’t take long before Cassie started applying, and within just two weeks, she landed FOUR interviews.

The Results: Compliments, Interviews, and Validation

Cassie’s hard work and confidence paid off in a big way. After securing those interviews, she reached out to share her excitement: “I’ve gotten more compliments in 20 minutes than in the last two years in my old job.” It was a moment of validation for Cassie—she was finally being recognized for her worth, and more importantly, she was surrounded by a team that truly valued and appreciated her.

Being on the Right Team: The Importance of Feeling Valued

Cassie’s experience proves just how powerful it is to be in the right work environment. When you're in a job that appreciates you, your confidence and job satisfaction soar. The right team makes all the difference—it’s not just about doing your work; it’s about feeling seen and valued for the contributions you make. Cassie’s career pivot helped her find exactly that.

Congratulations, Cassie: A Job Well Done

I’m so proud of Cassie for trusting the process and stepping into her new career path. Watching her growth and success over the past year has been incredibly rewarding. Cassie, congratulations on this huge milestone! Your hard work, determination, and willingness to take the leap have paid off in ways that will continue to benefit you for years to come.
