Raj Subrameyer Interview - Run Your Own Race
Raj Subrameyer is an international keynote speaker, tech career coach and author of ‘Skyrocket Your Career: The No Bullsh*t Approach to Find Your Dream Job, Be Successful in It, and Transform into a Rockstar’.
Born and raised in Chennai, South India, Raj always felt like he was not good enough. His dad was super smart and his brother was a genius, he felt he was always being compared to them both and felt inferior. He was an introvert, suffered from social anxiety, body issues (fat kid) and felt an outcast.
An event at Uni was a trigger for a major transformation of overcoming his fears which he writes about in his new book.
Raj moved to the US in 2008 just as the recession started. He applied for 1293 jobs and got 4 callbacks, in which 1 converted into a ‘job’ or internship. His motto, ‘Do whatever it takes’.
It is a timely conversation to be having as 30 millions jobs are being lost in the US alone right now.
Take a listen to the podcast where we discuss:
How to shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance
Change is possible and you are worthy of change
Establishing credibility and trust
Building a personal brand
And some tips from Raj:
To work out what job you want to do - complete the mind dump exercise
Create 2 columns - What do you LIKE to do? / What do you HATE to do?
Spend 30-60 minutes making this list
Choose the Top 3 things from each column
Search for jobs with the LIKE activities (run away from jobs that include things you HATE)
For college grads - how to get your foot in the door
Looks for internships - paid or unpaid & add to your resume
Invest in yourself (or your startup career) - upskill - do online courses eg. Udemy or Khan Academy
Update your LinkedIn profile - add keywords for SEO, build connections
Strategise your job application process
Run your own race
At the Business Connections Podcast we are all about sharing stories that demonstrate the power of connection.
We thank Raj Subrameyer for being generous with his time and sharing his wisdom with us all. We wish Raj all the very best with the new book and continuing to help people develop their career opportunities!
