49: Reinvent Your Career While on Maternity Leave with Natalia Harhaj
Manage episode 310529578 series 3059727
If you are considering a career change, and especially if you're on maternity leave, you'll appreciate this interview. My client Natalia went from feeling floundering and anxious with no career path and a unfulfilling job. She created major momentum in her professional life once she understood her transferrable skills and how they fit with her passions.
Despite a number of job search setbacks, Natalia persevered by staying positive.
- She was the second place candidate more than once during the selection process.
- She encountered discrimination because she was a mother.
- She was laid off due to company restructuring after working in her new career for only 5 months.
Her career pivot resulted in:
- A professional path she loves in Learning and Development.
- A higher salary than she was making pre-baby.
- A shorter commute and fewer draining hours.
- A manager/mentor she is aligned with and a position in an organization that's fits with her values.
