I sit down with Danielle to chat about her job search during COVID-19 and making transitions in her career. 

🙃 Reframing Experiences

One of the best tips Danielle shared is taking existing skills or experiences and reframing them slightly to make them more relevant to the hiring manager.  

📚 Learning

Danielle shares what her approach was to try and learn as much as possible when you're making a career pivot into an industry or profession that you're unfamiliar with. 

❤️ It's a Human Approach 

As a job seeker, Danielle talks about what were the most challenging parts of the job search and what companies did to make the hiring process as approachable as possible. She shares a ton of personal examples of the emotional roller coaster she was taken on.
