I can relate so much when you say that others around you don’t want or need the same thing. Our environment and the people must be aligned with what we are looking, definitively. It’s hard to understand who and how to reach out for help in this transition, but step by step we are getting closer to that circle with that awareness.

It would be better before interviewing, which also can help you to prepare. Although if you’re just looking the profiles I don’t see why it should be of an issue. That’s of course if you’re not sending requests before getting an offer or meet anyone of the team. It can be very awkward and give the wrong impression.

Thanks for sharing. I’ll check this too.

I was 3 years in the Advertising sector as a Copywriter. I loved to be part of the creative process and creating the stories and concepts that brands were using for its campaigns. I realized only creating stories was not enough and that I wanted to be part of projects that can make a difference in the society. I found the entrepreneurial ecosystem and Tech companies more purposeful and wanted to direct my career in this direction. I thought that I could do this shift easier after taking a masters in management. It wasn’t that obvios after taking the step and going abroad to pursue this. In such a competitive environment having clarity on how to job search and communicate yourself makes a huge difference. Which I’m trying to do with Peppercorn to hopefully find my place in this country.

Hi @diannaeckford ! Hope is not too late to ask a question. I never experienced a work environment in a big company or outside my past familiar role. This makes me very confuse to come up with relevant questions when I don’t have total clarity on how operates the company I’m applying for or the department I want to join. Is there a way I can tackle this and find easier way to have good questions ? Thank you!
