What happens if your startup fails?

In 2018, when my startup failed, I had to go back to corporate life.

I've worked in a lot of different companies, industries, and roles. I struggled to piece together a story about my career.

And that's a terrible situation to be in.

Not to mention, I:

• Struggled to find a thread that tied everything together
• Was declined for a role because of my diverse career history
• Was told my diverse career history was a weakness

It was completely disheartening.

Then, I realized I could use my diverse career history to find what I'm good at and love to do - my superpowers.

So, I did.

Once I reframed my diverse career history into a positive, interviews became a lot easier.

No more uncertainty about what love to do.
No more negativity around my diverse career history.
No more trying to figure out how to talk to recruiters.

Instead, I used a simple framework to use my diverse career history as a positive:

• Write down commonalities among the roles you've had
• Group them together and summarize them
• Describe examples of your successes in each group

So remember, linear careers are a thing of the past.

Use your experience to your advantage.
