Claire worked in a Marketing Analyst/Business Services role at La Trobe University, her responsibilities included communicating with international agents and expanding the business scale. She was referred by a friend for the role.
She believes that proactively learning new skills, upgrading your skill set and surrounding yourself with friends who provide positive influence is very important. This will bring you new opportunities as well as prepare you for them. Every opportunity Claire received was a result of her proactive action, either through talking to others about her passion or actively learning from others. This also helps you get out of your comfort zone and hone your interpersonal skills.
It is okay to not have a full plan at the start of your career, you can follow your passion like Claire did. But remember, instead of saying ‘yes’ to every opportunity, say ‘yes’ to the ones that resonate with you the most.
