Reframe your previous experience
If you’re struggling to connect your previous experience to a new role your applying for, dont worry, I got you.
But Andre "I used to work in retail...",
"But I was a service worker..."
"But I never worked behind a desk before..."
"I was an English Major."
IT DOESNT MATTER.
You shouldnt cry over spilled milk.
You’re already on this journey so lets make the best of it.
Let me show you how.
Its all about telling the right story.
I graduate from a business school with a business degree, worked in that industry for 3.5 years and before that I worked at a ton of retail companies, and none of my previous experience had anything to do with software engineering.
Thats right, I don’t have a CS Degree.
And i’ve been a developer for years.
So how did I do it?
I had a positioning statement.
Where I clearly explain who I am, what im great at, how my path makes sense, and most importantly how my previous experience is a benefit to the role im applying for.
I created a document that outlines exactly how you can tell the right story during your next interview.
If you’re interested comment the word “interview” and ill send it over to you. And follow us for more content like this.
