Making the jump with Sylvie Desjardins

Listen Later

My guest in this episode is a career specialist and certified rehabilitation vocational professional (CRVP) with a master’s degree in guidance counseling.

In 2015, she founded NxCareer to help as many people as possible to find their most suitable career option. Since then, she has coached and guided more than 1000 clients to recognize their skills and get a job that better meets their expectations and their ambition. As a business owner and career specialist, she has been invited to talk on multiple media outlets and has been nominated twice as one of the Top 20 under 40 by the Greater Moncton Chamber of commerce. I’m happy to have with me today Sylvie Desjardins.

In this episode we talk about:

  • The stress of leaving your current job and stepping out of your comfort zone
  • How it might be easier than you think to make the change once you are engaged to make it.
  • How Sylvie found her "Why"
  • How your "Why" doesn't have to be career-related
  • The process at NxCareer to finding a career
  • Why finding or following your passion might not be the best advice
  • The difficulty of shedding your past identity when looking for a career change
  • The Myers Briggs type indicator
  • Getting past imposters syndrome and the anxiety of changing careers
  • The importance of finding a mentor and how to do it
