CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
After graduating from college, I had a hard time getting a job in my field with an automotive company. I continued to interview and get turned down. I eventually began following up on my interviews by asking for feedback so I could be better prepared in the future. That simple act opened more doors for me than anything else. I eventually landed a job in the automotive industry!
