EP105: 60 Job Applications, 20 Interviews, 4 Job Offers
**STORY ALERT** 60 Job Applications, 20 Interviews, 4 Job Offers!
The job search journey is never easy, but it doesn't have to be hard!
2021 was definitely the year for recalculating (that was an intentional pun Lindsey Pollak) and I have been very lucky to have a huge support system of people by my side to get through it.
I was very strategic about how I spent my time researching companies and positions, while also recognizing my value, non-negotiables, and worth. I became more self-aware in what I wanted from my employer and the type of work I wanted to do.
I have worked in Higher Education for 12 years! 8 of them for The State University of New York and 4 years at Syracuse University. Pivoting out of higher ed and career development was something I never thought I would do or even say out loud. BUT the more time I spent searching and applying to different schools and companies, I realized it was time to make a change.
I knew that I didn't want to leave the education industry completely and my career has always been dedicated to career development, DEI and leadership. Three things that were part of my values and very important to me.
In my job search, I fell in love with one company in particular. I already had a working relationship as a customer with this company, but it wasn't until talking with my Relationship Manager at the time Scott Millslagle that it became clearer I was meant to work with Handshake.
I am very excited to share that I have accepted a position at Handshake as a Relationship Manager on the Education Success team! I am beyond thrilled to be joining the amazing people at Handshake and look forward to starting a bright new chapter in my career.
As a current Handshake partner school, I have a very close understanding to the mission and core values that the company represents:
- Students First
- Focus on Impact
- Empowered By Diversity
- Move Quickly, But Don't Rush
- Learn. Grow. Repeat.
Students First, being the first core value and the one that has always resonated with me, but also the one that personally and professionally remains consistent to my work in #careerdevelopment and as a professional. I am excited about the amazing things I will have the opportunity to do at Handshake and to jump into my new role.
Although my time at SUNY Polytechnic Institute is coming to an end, it is NOT the end of my time in higher ed. I will be serving as one of the instructors for the SUNY Center of Professional Development in the Career Readiness Champion Program. I will also be continuing to lead and facilitate StrengthsQuest training as a Gallup Strengths Coach. In addition, I have a coaching practice and podcast "Coaching For Millennials" that is continuing to grow every day.
I am excited for all things that will come in 2022! Cheers to all of you and for a brighter new year!
