TIME TO MAKE SOME CHANGES ?

Finally getting to the point where I'm ready to start applying to jobs.

I'm excited to share that I'm rounding off my 4th week at Reclamere—marking a full month in a new role within the cybersecurity field, a sector entirely new to me. Yes, it's been a whirlwind of learning and, admittedly, a bit nerve-wracking. I jumped on this opportunity with both feet, eager not to disappoint myself or the fantastic team I’ve joined. That pressure to perform? I think it’s something a lot of us feel, especially when we really care about the quality of our work. But hey, growth happens outside of our comfort zones, right? At Reclamere, every day is a chance to level up my skills—skills that are shaping me professionally and personally. I’m talking about everything from boosting my relationship-building game, getting savvy with identifying our ideal customers, to geeking out over sales analytics and CRM tools for those sweet, data-driven insights. It’s all about building that confidence and pushing my career to new heights. Shoutouts are in order 📢: Huge thanks to Joseph Harford, Ph.D., CSDS and Angie Singer Keating, CISA, CISM, CRISC for betting on me and providing a nurturing environment for growth and continuous learning. I'm also incredibly grateful for my colleagues at Reclamere—your support, your patience with my endless questions, and the laughs we share have made me feel right at home from day one. The quote in the photo from the great man himself, Ted Lasso, perfectly encapsulates how I am currently feeling. I'm thrilled for what's ahead and eager to see where this path leads. To my LinkedIn network—have you ever embarked on a career journey that felt like a leap into the unknown? How did you navigate the early days, and what wisdom can you share? I’d love to hear your stories and advice! Side note: If you haven't watched Ted Lasso, I highly recommend it. A little optimism and a good laugh never hurts 😊.

I got my new role off Instagram 📱 ... and I wasn't fully qualified for it (on paper). However, I could clearly see the kind of value I could add to this particular client, and having admired her brand for so long, I decided to take the leap and give it a shot. That one email that actually stated my inability to cater to all her business needs as outlined in the job description, led up a trail that eventually landed on a job offer. Amazingly, the client decided to split the roles into two, and I get to act on my strong points as my colleague works her magic on the other areas that align with her, all for the good of the business. My 3 key firecrackers from this experience... 🔹 Do not be the one to disqualify yourself. Dare to try even when you know you might not fully fit the criteria. 🔹 Self awareness is gold. Know your strong points and the areas that need improvement, and advocate for yourself accordingly. 🔹 Be good at being bad at things, at least in the beginning. The onboarding process requires me to embrace continuous learning, and sometimes I feel like I'm slow at it. Grateful for the psychological safety at my workplace. This truly affirmed the importance of self-belief. One of my affirmations is : 𝘐 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦, living true to it and to that we say- Sip Sip Hurray!

In working technical support roles, my favorite thing is to be interesting. When a person needs support, they are usually frustrated. If you can understand and empathize with their problem, you can work toward a resolution. I love when a person expresses relief, and I can give them a helpful tip or valuable information that adds value to the interaction. Don't just fix the problem, but truly add value. Helping people in tech gives me energy - and I learned that doing this on a larger system (process) scale has the same fulfillment for me. I'm naturally an introvert, but I can usually hide it through service by being knowledgeable and empathetic. Nothing makes me feel better at the end of the day at work than having these kinds of interactions. It leaves me feeling grateful for my job.

❗ 3 things I've learned from being laid off ❗ 1. Take the time to look up. Get off the phone and observe the world. I'm analyzing every move brands make and now that I have a bit more time I can see who is doing a killer job...and who is not. I'm taking notes and look forward to bringing those ideas forward. 2. Do things you haven't done before. If you're in the midst of a lot of life events, it's a good time to gain some thinking time. I'm incredibly grateful to get to use my brand strategy, marketing, business development, and EQ-driven skills to consult with incredible brands and founders...and plan a wedding. 3. Embrace the people around you. It's a great reminder that the people who want to show up for you, will. Full stop. Your job is not your family or friends. Take time to cherish the moments you can with the people who matter. It might be coworkers...it might also be your siblings, your parents, or your friends. ...thank you to my future husband Gerard Iervolino for being a rock, a workout buddy, and a deck-building partner.

I’ve always wondered why leaving a job isn’t celebrated as much as starting a new one. ✅ When you join: there's a warm welcome, congratulations, and high spirits. ❌ When you leave: often it's grudges, disagreements, and downcast gazes. It’s time we normalize closing a chapter gracefully. Let's honor the contributions each person makes to a company. Here’s how we can do better: ✅ Wish success in their next chapter. ✅ Reflect on shared memories. ✅ Offer a heartfelt goodbye. ✅ Express gratitude for their contributions. ✅ Announce the departure so others can also say their farewells. What's your best or worst experience when leaving a job?

My client was in full panic mode when she came to me. Recently laid off, she hadn’t: - Updated her resume in 3 years - Grown her network on LinkedIn - Interviewed since graduating college She was terrified at the thought of being out of work for months. But rather than rush into her job search and approach it from a place of fear… We took a step back. We slowed things down by starting with the big picture. I asked her what she wanted from her career: → What was her ideal role? → What skills did she want to learn next? → What type of work environment was she looking for? The more we talked, the more we realized: She hadn’t been fulfilled by her last role. So moving forward in her job search, I showed her how to: -Properly vet job descriptions based on her priorities -Ask questions in interviews to ensure the role would be a good fit for her -Scope out different industries she was interested in to cast a wider net Then we adjusted her resume to align with her new priorities and goals. She started applying for roles… And within 90 days, she landed a job as an Associate Customer Success Manager! She was finally on a career track she was excited about. Three years later, she’s progressed to Senior Customer Success Manager… And she’s been able to diversify her experience by working in a new industry. So if you’ve been laid off recently… Don’t panic. A fulfilling career is out there for you. 🌊
