How Do I Transition from Accounting to the Culinary Industry?
Dear Yvonne,
I am writing to seek help in the transition of my career pursuit. I graduated with a B.Sc. in Accounting but found passion in the food industry. I have gained some experience with running a side gig and did a certification in culinary and nutrition, respectively. But it's been challenging getting a job with my skills.
Should I Quit My Job While Transitioning from Digital Marketing to Brand Design?
Dear Yvonne,
I'm finding my current job quite uninspiring. It seems to be more of a routine where I just clock in and out. Additionally, I'm handling all aspects of content creation, ideas generation, and marketing strategy on my own, except for design work. This workload can be quite overwhelming and exhausting.
How Can I Break Into Tech If I Struggle with Networking?
Dear Yvonne,
I might be outspoken with people and situations I'm comfortable with, but every other time, I'm as timid as a mouse. This means I'm horrible at networking and would rather stay home than attend events so I have no idea how I'm going to get on this path.
How Can I Transition from Geotech to a More Work-Life Friendly Career?
Dear Yvonne,
I work in Geotech but I want a job that’s more suitable to balance work and life. Is it viable to do an MBA? What are my chances of making it in this industry?
How Do I Pursue Multiple Interests Without Becoming a Jill of All Trades?
Dear Yvonne,
I am Emmanuella, a recent graduate of Biochemistry. I am currently completing my NYSC service year and considering a Master's in Neuroscience afterwards (as I desire to understand why humans are the way we are).
Is It Wrong to Want More in My Career?
Dear Yvonne,
For the past 2 years, I’ve dreamt of working with a consulting firm. I finally got the opportunity to work at one of the Big 4 firms as a back-office staff. Going 4 months into this, I feel like I could do much more than what I do currently.
