Q&A with Sydney
Q: What about the career program at Rung got you interested?
Applying to jobs is very hard and overwhelming for me. My resume wasn’t the best at all. So I knew getting into career and just seeing that there is an exploration that can get you into different paths was like, “yessss!”
Q: How has it been working in the career program?
I started right away. I came to Alice (Director of Career Navigation) and said, “Alice I need your help! I’m ready to get a new job.” Shortly after working with Alice, I had a new job. This was my very first offer letter for a salary position. She actually helped me navigate multiple job offers.
Q: How did it feel getting multiple job offers and deciding between them?
It felt like I was in control and really empowering. I was making this decision for me and I was going to enjoy the experience. I’m in control of my future and destiny and everything I want.
Q: How does it feel to have all the added benefits to having a salary job?
This is my very first salary job and I love the fact that I can have all these benefits. A 401k match, collaborating with others and just having the stability. This role has everything I could ever ask for.
Q: Have you seen in changes within yourself since starting at Rung?
I feel like I can do anything now. I’ve been more focused and more disciplined when it comes to asking for what I want. Being confident in the things I’m interested in and asking for what I want – Rung has instilled. Anything that you think about you can get it.
