SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS

What do you do when you’re in a role and company that once brought you empjoyment, but now the magic has died down due to changes in your organization and industry.

Our featured empjoyee Jess Bertling has a one solution: If you’re not happy with your situation, then CHANGE IT! During today’s discussion, you’ll hear Jess share how she changed her situation at least 2 times, once to incorporate more enjoyment in the role that she currently had and again to find a new company that met the needs she had identified for her next level of empjoyment.

Enjoy!

Listen to this episode now to learn how to:

  • Pilot your own side project that both builds experience in areas you want to grow in and benefits your organization
  • Navigate the structure of the development platform GitHub used by developers worldwide
  • Identify resources available to help you make your next career transition, regardless of your location and professional background

TL;DL (Too long; Didn’t Listen): 3 Actionable Takeaways

  • Unlike other professionals, tech professionals aren’t paid to know all the answers in advance, but rather are paid to figure out how to find those answers
  • Take the time to do the difficult task of figuring out what you want out of work and life to increase your chance to experience your empjoyment
  • Avoid the trap of comparing yourself and your situation to others to better manage self-doubt and the imposter syndrome (note: it’s possible that it will never be eliminated, but you can certainly still accomplish what you want despite it)

But wait there’s more! Share your #1 takeaway with today’s featured Empjoyee and other Empjoyees in the Empjoyment community!
