February 08, 2023 Unlock Opportunities in Operations - No Degree Needed! with Diana Spencer (DF#83)
Today our guest is Diana Spencer, and we go over everything that you need to know in order to transition your career into operations.
We talk about what operation is and how to make your transition into that field if you're not already in it.
We talk about how she initially got into operations as a bookkeeper and how she initially got the job by lying on her resume and learning quickly how to do the job and becoming really proficient at it.
-----
Diana has had over a decade of experience working in Operations. Starting as a bookkeeper at age 18, Diana quickly and quite successfully rose within each company she's been employed with. She contributes her success to nothing more than strategy and the willingness to learn.
"If you play the game of business and play it right, you can move into any position that interests you. Decide what you want, then define vividly what you need to do to get it. Then EXECUTE! Just get in and get started."
Diana believes that all opportunities are in front of us (those without a degree) and we just need to take them.
"Pick up a book, join networking events on - there are no excuses, it can be done virtually on LinkedIn. Surround yourself with everyone you can learn from and ask questions. Moving to a position of running companies with 50-100 employees - I drool over employees that want to learn. They are few and far between. Be the few and your competition WILL shrink."

January 18, 2023 Your Biggest Problem in Finding a Job: Self Elimination - Ep. 80
Many of us have been there - staring at a job description for a position we are desperate to apply for, but feeling intimidated by the extensive list of qualifications and requirements.
We might feel that we don't measure up, and so practice self-elimination by not applying.
However, the truth is that job descriptions are often crafted as wish lists – and you should still apply even if you don't tick all the boxes!
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why you don't have to be the perfect job candidate: job descriptions are just wishlists
- Why do you only need to match around 50% of the job listing to be considered 'qualified'
- How you can convince an employer or hiring manager that you can provide value even without a degree or relevant experience
- Why more and more companies are no longer caring that you don't have a degree
Ryan and Hannah also talked about the right mindset when you're job hunting.
Enjoy the episode!
