Hey! I’m Brittany
Like you, I started out wanting BIG things for myself.
As you can imagine, I got stuck with the reality check when I graduated from college. Let me tell you, that was one hefty check.
I struggled to get a job. No joke, it was an AWFUL experience for me for several reasons. I never wanted to go back to being unemployed. EVER. So when I finally did get that job, I worked my butt off to prove myself and was quickly promoted.
When I had my first son, it felt like things came to a bit of a halt, despite me continue to do some work on the side. Mat leave felt like a career killer if I’m honest. (A fun one with the cutest, squishiest baby, but you know, still.) I came back from mat leave part-time until I could get daycare arranged for my son. As life would have it, though, a week after my son started daycare, I was let go.
It was hard. Painful. I sat on the couch for months, completely unmotivated, and there were a lot of tears. When I finally pulled myself out of my depression four months later, I landed a new job within two weeks!
I was shocked and once again worked my butt off to make sure I was NEVER EVER unemployed again. And funny story… I was promoted. Even faster than the last time. I kid you not. I went from Receptionist to a Recruitment Consultant running my own division in 7 MONTHS.
I felt like I’d cracked a secret success code.
So lots of long hours, books, podcasts, and e-courses later, I was succeeding in my position, constantly learning about my newfound career path and continually growing.
I’m now on mat leave #2, and I’m not at all worried about the outcome at the end of it. I’m confident in my job security because of my actions while I was still at work. AND I’m also confident that if, for some reason returning to my job was not an option (hello, COVID-level unpredictability), then I know I’m going to be just fine.
How do I know?
Because I’m the bomb at establishing myself.
Why I started this blog
As a Recruiter, I help tons of people find jobs and work through their career-related problems. However, because my job is so fast-paced, I’m not always able to share vast amounts of information.
And that makes me sad because I want to help.
I know countless insider tips and tricks, and I want to share them with you. I want other women to take this advice and rock their careers!
So here we are.
Let’s get you established.
