“You ever accidentally work a job you hate for 7 years just cause you’re too lazy to update your resume?” — Kim Bielak

Literally not even an exaggeration for many of us…⁠ ⁠

But when you look deeper, what’s really going on when year after year we say that we’re going to make a change, yet somehow keep losing momentum or finding excuses to push it off? Is the hassle of updating your resume really an unconscious excuse to stay where you’re comfortable? Avoid the fear of putting yourself out there? Getting rejected? Making a mistake?⁠ ⁠ It’s true that updating your resume and the entire job application process is hard work. But there are also so many ways to make it more sustainable, inspiring and even — yes — personally transformative.⁠ ⁠

And if you’re doing work you dread and that drains you every single day, don’t you think the cost is well worth the reward?⁠ ⁠

Let me help pull you out of the grind and gain the momentum you need to finally insert change. Email me to set up a career coaching intro call and we’ll get through it together ;)
