"I need practical advice on career growth and with my job search.

I took the career guidance that I should focus on my passion, and strengths, and how I can monetize these in today’s world. I also received the career advice of not spreading so much in my job search, rather try to gain more clarity for myself so that I can save my energy and time."

"I want to get practical tips about self-advocacy.

My mentor and those I walked with discussed my question, and she shared her experiences and perspectives. Learned that as I search for a new role, I need to evaluate what is most important and if there are any trade-offs and how those will make me happy or not."
