How To Elevate Your Team's Culture & Accelerate Your Career | Free Career Development course |
Description
I used to think I didn't belong anywhere.
I was working boring service jobs, standing behind a cash register all day, wondering why I decided to major in Spanish Education. My $10/hour income was depressing, but I had no interest in climbing any corporate ladder, and I didn't have any high-paying skills. My future looked bleak.
One day, I decided to take matters into my own hands.
I took stock of my skills, interests, and career path options, and decided to break into the tech industry. I thought I'd start by learning web development, but ended up landing my first role as an email support agent for Fetch Rewards. My job performance & coding background helped me quickly transition over to the software quality assurance team, and later on, to the automation team within QA, where I'd have my first job writing code.
Why I Made This Course
As my career took off, I started noticing that I was getting recognition and promotions faster and more frequently than many of my peers. By the time I left Fetch Rewards, I was making 5x what I had made as a cashier.
I didn't believe it was luck or favoritism, but I didn't quite know what I was doing differently. I became determined to isolate the unique contribution I was making so I could teach others how to replicate my success.
