Hey there, Ryan! After graduating college, it took me a whole 9 years to secure my dream job in the industry I've always wanted to be a part of. I initially took on two jobs that didn't quite align with my current industry, but they gave me valuable professional experience. Here's a little advice from me to you: get involved! Volunteer, mentor, and be an active participant in your community, school, or college. This will not only help you explore different career paths but also assist you in building a supportive network. Don't forget to reach out to a career coach and make the most of career resources - they can be incredibly beneficial!

Hi Ryan,
I simply had to complete undergrad (4 years) and then it took me a year to find a job post-grad due to covid. I've been a consultant for the last 3 years. So it depends on what field you want to break into and the minimum set of pre-reqs to break into the industry. Then it comes down to networking and prep for when you get your shot at the opportunity.

Hey Ryan,
My journey to my current role as an Application Advisor at IBM was an exciting one. It involved a three-year college journey studying Business Management with a focus on Systems, two post-graduate degrees in IT Management and Project Management, and a rewarding 12-year experience in global SAP Project implementations. This even included a project right in your hometown, San Jose, and SAP support.
However, remember that everyone's journey is unique. I have colleagues who joined IBM straight out of college, started as interns, or at various stages of their careers.
The key is to envision your future. Determine where you want to see yourself in 1, 2, or 5 years, and then commit to making it happen.
I hope this gives you some insight.
Here's to your future success!

Hey Ryan! My journey to the business/corporate world has been anything but traditional, and that's what makes it exciting! I began my academic journey with a passion for languages, majoring in English and Spanish. I relished the deep literary discussions and the joy of mastering new languages. However, I realized that pursuing higher degrees in Literature wasn't the path for me.
I then ventured into teaching, a rewarding experience that allowed me to share my love for languages. Yet, I found it wasn't my ultimate calling. I even dabbled in the healthcare sector, working in a doctor's office. But without a STEM degree, I faced limitations and lower pay scales.
Then, I discovered the world of Business Development, starting at the entry-level sales. It turned out to be a perfect fit! It offers me the flexibility I crave, fuels my creativity as I devise innovative ways to interact with potential customers, and satisfies my competitive streak.
The journey to where I am today wasn't straightforward, but it was valuable. I experimented, explored, and learned from each experience. Each role, even those that didn't quite fit, contributed to my growth and led me to sales - a field I never thought I'd enjoy but now love.
I view my past experiences not as time wasted, but as stepping stones. Each one taught me something new and equipped me with skills that I carried forward to my next role. Remember, as long as you're learning, you're progressing. So, keep exploring, keep learning, and embrace the journey!

Hello Ryan,
Here's a snapshot of my journey:
I began as a Public Speaker in 1966, then transitioned into Programming in 1972. I explored the field of education as a Tutor in 1975 before delving into health and wellness as a Nutritionist in 1976. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Biological Chemistry in 1978 and immediately put it to use as an Industrial Chemist that same year.
In 1981, I specialized further as a Biochemist, and in 1982, I took my passion for nutrition a step further by obtaining a Graduate Diploma in Nutritional Medicine. I continued to expand my knowledge in this field and in 1988, I earned a Graduate Diploma in Nutrition and Dietetics.
The new millennium saw me as a Consultant in 2000 and a Lecturer in 2001. I broadened my horizons with a Graduate Diploma in Public Health in 2003.

Hi Ryan,
It took me seven years of college and then 4 years of experience until I finally got my current job. College was very hard because I had to work while I attended school and law school was hard as well.
You just have to keep your eye on the prize and don't look back.
