Case research Rebecca Magnus from Business Development to Freelance Copy Writer Before coming to the Career Psychologist, I had simply left a difficult job in Business Development for a begin up meals company. On the face of it, the job was a great match for me, versatile hours in an industry I love. However, the job was a really poor fit for my life-style and personality, with no opportunity to develop skills or progress. After working at the company for two years, I decided to stop, give myself some area and determine the place to take my profession next. I determined to invest in the Career Psychologist course as a result of I felt very misplaced, each in my sense of self and on a sensible degree, where on earth I would discover work. I felt like I can be massively held back within the aggressive jobs market as a result of I lacked a full degree, which brought on me quite a lot of profession nervousness. Knowing I wanted to vary profession from Sales to something extra creative, but with none confidence, vanity or know-how, I had no concept the way to transfe r on and achieve a profitable transition. Nimita was incredible to work with, very understanding of my position and had a really non-judgemental, tailored approach to discussing concepts and challenges. The workouts set by the Career Psychologist team are a unbelievable start line for re-examining not just your work life however your life as a whole, discussing the place you really want the stability to be between personal life and profession and finding the optimum working conditions for yourself. I learnt an enormous amount about myself as I went through the exercises, way over I thought I would do. Working with Nimita has been a extremely priceless experience and I’ve really gained a lot of self-confidence and self-consciousness on what alternatives are really right for me going forward. I am setting myself up as a contract copywriter with a specialisation in writing copy for the Food and Drink business. I wished to take my past expertise and mix it creative and business parts, significantly my expertise for sales and writing. Copywriting was a perfect match! After much dialogue with Nimita, I decided to switch working for a corporation for freelance work because it suits my private working preferences so much more than an workplace position ever may. Without Nimita’s support and advice, I possibly would have caved into my family’s calls for for a more traditional workplace-based position, but this way of working makes me far happier and extra productive. I really feel cautiously optimistic in regards to the future! I imagine that by way of making connections, nurturing relationships and producing persistently good work I can generate opportunities that I would by no means in any other case have had access to. i now not really feel that my lack of a degree is a career death sentence. I’m far more open to saying ‘Yes’ and seeing where good work, a optimistic attitude and a head stuffed with enterprise concepts will get me, which is a huge improve ment on a year ago! I’m taking my profession one week at a time now, slowly and steadily constructing what I hope will be a spring board to future copywriting and entrepreneurial success. © 2020 The Career Psychologist Website design and build by Pynk and Fluffy
