Leave a comment about your journey to Corporate America! Would love to hear your story

[@jerrymarshall1360]

What a great story that sounds like mine. Graduated with a major in music, started working for banks, then thru a temp agency I ended up working for ExxonMobil, retired at 55 with 20 years. I very happy and I'm 71 years young. I have a great life and enjoying every day. Also don't forget to have God in your life, can't do without Him. Much success to. I'm a subscriber to you. God bless ya sir.

You’re always dropping these gems just on time. I switched from call center to HR in 2 years. I recently got an offer but wasn’t excited about the salary but I reminded myself right now I’m getting the experience I’ll get the salary I want soon and u just confirmed it. Bless up!

As a new 28 year old twin mom. Graduated from Famu July of 2022 had my twins October 2022. Had nothing at all. Living with my mom as a single mom. Worked with a non profit as a contractor making $40k August 2023 after 2 months I quit. Started looking at other jobs December 2023 I became a mental health therapist in corrections making $75k God is good.

Wheewww! That’s awesome 👏🏾👏🏾

[@jailenrjones926]

Thanks so much for your transparency. I recently graduated with my bachelors. Thankfully, a few weeks after graduation, I received a job offer. The salary was for about 47K, I wanted to make at least 50 starting out. They were unwilling to negotiate. It was a bit discouraging, however, I’m just going to use this opportunity as a steppingstone to reach the bigger goal , and gain some hands-on work experience. The media has convinced people that success can happen overnight, but that is never the case. It takes time. Thank you for reminding me I’m not the only one.

[@CoreyMJones3]

It’s a part of your story brotha! 47k straits out of college ain’t bad at all. And as you know, you won’t be making that salary forever. Like you said it’s a stepping stone to get you to your desired salary. Congrats my brotha ✊🏾

[@CoreyMJones3]

This was dope man, thanks for the transparency here. That's a great story and proud to see how far you come and congratulations on the success you've had and will continue to have going forward. Something you said towards the end of the video made me smile - "you gotta start somewhere and have someone who's willing to believe in you and see the potential that you have and see that you're going to make it somehow". I'm a Clinical Research Coordinator at one of the top comprehensive cancer centers and I finally found that person (my supervisor) who believes in my potential, but more importantly - believes in me and that is such a great and wonderful feeling. I damn sure didn't get it with my last position at Emory, so I'm blessed to say it's a breath of fresh air and change. Still working to get like you in terms of salary haha, but I know it'll come and I can't rush that.

Thanks for sharing Corey 🙏🏽 this is definitely a video myself and others needed to hear. Life is nothing short of abundant with trials in our trajectory that can redirect us differently. What is truly a marker of resilience is how we navigate through them and begin to move into the right direction we want for ourselves. Still finding my way myself.

I'm going to go ahead and join the Fam (by subscribing). I'm currently in the process of enrolling in school as this is my last year being considered a newly graduate. I came across your channel looking at people's 'Day in the Life's' in careers I have interest in. You're very down to earth, and that really pulled me into wanting to know more about your journey to where you are now.

Having a few interviews, resulting in “NO”, can really be a gut punch, but I keep at it. Your video really motivates me because you and many others have experienced the same thing. All it takes is one “YES”, and then the rough journey will have been worth it. Thanks Corey!

Thank you for this video.... I'm in hospitality at the moment. Managing a hotel. I said I was done with hotels too, and went to Deloitte also! But I got to travel and inspect hotels and do brand audits. Came back to the hotel, instant promotion... then I moved to the Dallas area and I'm the Assistant GM at a hotel. Money is okay... but I really want my wife to finish school and focus just on that and something six-figures for me would make that happen for us. But, I'm not sure where to go from here after I graduate. I just want more for my soon to be growing family! You are inspiring me!!

Thank you for posting this, Corey! This video proves that career growth isn't linear and gives me hope for the future. I started working as a software engineer after college and pivoted into UX. Unfortunately, I had to take a break to focus on issues with my health, and I'm trying to break back into UX in this market. It has not been easy, but my journey doesn't end here. Google has always been a goal of mine, and I hope that our paths will cross one day!

Excellent video, I’m an older experienced DEI and award winning Early-Career Program leader. I’ve been impacted by the changes in tech and I’m starting over myself. As others have mentioned this video was right on time. I decided to embrace the restart but it’s def hard. Being a black man and then you have to deal with age discrimination (most people don’t realize at age 40 you are in a protected class and age discrimination increases around this time). Appreciate you, you keeping us inspired.

[@CoreyMJones3]

Thanks bro! Sorry to hear you’ve been impacted by the changes in tech. I know so many others who are in the same boat. You sound like you definitely have the experience and knowledge in the field. Right at the sweet spot of your career. I pray everything lands the way you want it to land. 🙏🏾

[@trfrierson]

I love that you made this video. As a black women i highly recommend hopping around to get the salary and benefits you want. I also always believe in taking a meeting if a recruiter hits you up and always looking on your current job board. Alot of us end up having to leave because we dont have advocacy in upper management. This job i am in now is the first job in almost 20 years that i got a promotion. It was not even started by me, my manager advocated for it. I will now be at 6 figures next month. This company is the first place i have been at more than 2 to 3 years. Everything is great, the moral, benefits, and pay opportunities ❤❤❤

[@CoreyMJones3]

I love that for you. And I agree, your manager can make or break you and it sucks because they have to see the potential in you. They also have to give you opportunities to grow in order to be able to advocate for promo.

[@ljaaraica3372]

Honestly, I hate to say it, sometimes, it's pure luck, right place right time or you just hit it off with the right team. I sought all of those companies at one point and landed as a corporate recruiter for a large company in Chicago, I think I'll stay put for now. Thanks for the transparency and good to see other experiences from other recruiters.

[@CoreyMJones3]

That’s facts. Timing is a huge part of it too!

[@Ty2Breezie]

Thank for the transparency! Corporate America is a separate world itself and filled with too many games, if you ask me. I would love to hear your experience about what you went through. It’s rough for black women and men. Don’t have too many bad experiences, but I came across a few. One thing for sure I REFUSE to play the game or kiss somebody’s peach 🍑 (😂) because I know my worth and value! It’s all about trusting God along with trusting the process and not to mention timing! 🙌🏽 Proud of your success story. Are you still considering going back to get your master’s? If so, is higher education still an option? 🤔

[@CoreyMJones3]

Big facts! At this time I’m not thinking about going back to get my masters. But we shall see

[@a_wealthydreams]

Appreciate the transparency, looking forward to the more in-depth video on working in corporate. Any advice for someone looking to get into the tech/recruiting field? is a degree required or just experience?

[@CoreyMJones3]

If you’re trying to get into tech recruiting, most tech companies are looking for recruiters with recruiting experience. If you don’t have any recruiting experience I’d suggest starting off with agency recruiting or a recruiting coordinator role. A couple of years doing either of those would make you marketable for recruiting at a tech company

Hey man I’m in a pickle at the moment. I currently play rugby in Japan and the team I play like I get good pay but the thing is I don’t get played much and whenever I get to picked to play my coach just never seems to put me on the field. This year is my last year, the team offered me another two years to resign but thing is do I stay and get good pay but still not play much games or go to another team that might pay more and know I’ll get good playing time. Also where my team is based it can g quite lonely for foreigners but we have a good bunch of foreigners and our training is pretty good. Hard thing is do I stay but still get good pay and not get any game time. Or move to another team know I’ll get good game time but have to restart again with team mates and maybe get a little bit more pay.

[@CoreyMJones3]

It depends on what you value or need most. Do you value the money more or actually playing? If there’s a way for you to make good money and also get on the field, I’d try another team just so you can have both
