One key thing I’ve learned as a job seeker is that my identity isn’t entirely defined by my profession. Realizing this has been helpful for me in dealing with the ups and downs of carving out a career for myself (without the slightest idea how to go about doing it).
So yes, I’m a journalist, but I’m also…
- a thrill-seeker
- an avid reader of fictional literature
- a mountain biker
- a linguist
- a nonconformist
- a weight lifter
- a mentor for those looking to go abroad
- an artist / creative content creator
- a baker
- a vintage moped owner
- a future motorcyclist
- a former Corporate, Culture & English Trainer
- a cosmopolite
- an amateur cook
- a trained graphic designer
- a liberalist
- a diary keeper
- a chocolate enthusiast
- a runner
- etc.
