Playing Small In Job Search? But You’re Super Talented

[@ruthchada6102]

Annie. My associate has never stayed at a job more than a year. The first they quit to start a business after getting discouraged with the 9.00 hour pay and trying to pay their way through college. They then got a job making $40k in collections, but they didn't enjoy the company culture and had trouble hitting quotas daily, so they quit even though they got a bonus at the start of the job for hitting Metrics. They got good quantifiable results at each job but quit for different reasons. Now they have a 3rd job making 14 an hour and they want a better job to be independent. Do they still qualify as a job hopper? All of their jobs where accounts receivable, bookkeeping for a school, and medical billing. They have a bachelor degree in accounting which they hate but are looking for a good accpunting job in order to take care of themselves while starting a business.

Ma’am, I stumbled across your channel and scroll through your videos. I just want to say thank you for all of your hard work in dropping all this wealth of wisdom. Also, I hope and pray that your better half is able to find fulfilling employment right away. Much respect!

He got an offer on Thursday! So 19 days after I applied to jobs on his behalf on June 30.

I sound so much like your husband as well, minus the intelligence and his unique gifts lol God I am exactly like him ughh it makes me so upset. And I am wallowing in my room too. Thank you for posting this. I repeated this video so many times. I literally feel like you are calling me out through my screen. I really wish I can take action. I need a mentor like you! I got to take a cold hard look at myself and pick myself up. I am trying to absorb as much as I can from your videos, so keep posting about similar content (job search) please!

Thank you so much Annie for the encouragement and advice! I think it is very easy for many people including myself to down play or be in denial of the talents and skills we do have. We may not even notice for ourselves how talented we truly are or may not even know what our skillsets are. Sometimes it takes having others, such as those who are close to us, like family, friends, and colleagues to point out how gifted we are!

I am very excited to see you back!!!! Thank you for this video. I'm so motivated and inspired now. We really can have anything if we believe in ourselves enough to ask for it. Your husband's catastrophizing is very interesting. I wonder if there is a mental block or a part of him that is resistant to success.

Grad school imposter syndrome. Apparently it's common.

part of the problem with translation work is the one thing AI is really, really good at is language. So less demand for that work now overall.

Yes it is true but he can do live interpretation work

I think the resume was honest, I think most resumes are full of 'embellishments' for lack of a better term. I think employers are aware of this LOL. I am looking at taking an early retirement next year in my mid- fifties so I am done with the rat race and happy to pursue my passions, so don't take my opinion as gospel LOL

[@AnnieMargaritaYang]

I liked your word, "embellishments." I am going to say that from now on. And congrats on being on track to early retirement. Have you heard of this guy? earlyretirementextreme.com/

[@aniyadavila-smith852]

@@AnnieMargaritaYang I've heard of him!
