🎓 Reflecting on My First Year Post-College: As I mark one year since graduating and six months into my role as a Marketing Associate at Digiday. Here are some lessons I’ve learned that might resonate with others navigating the early stages of their careers: 1. Embrace Mistakes as Learning Opportunities 🌟 I’ve always strived for perfection and dreaded making mistakes, but I’ve come to realize that mistakes are an essential part of growth. It's inevitable, and often the fastest way to learn. 2. Finding the Right Job Takes Time ⏳ It took me six months to find a role that felt like the right fit. I’ve learned that it’s okay to be selective and hold out for opportunities that align with your goals and values. I’m grateful for the opportunities I’ve found at Digiday and the alignment it has brought to my career aspirations. 3. Remote Work Can Foster Strong Connections 🌐 Working remotely can sometimes feel isolating, but it doesn’t have to be. I’m fortunate to be part of a team where everyone is incredibly kind and welcoming. Our HR team (aka Andrea Sontz) works hard to keep us connected through monthly calls, weekly icebreaker chats, and other initiatives. Finding the right company and people can make remote work a fulfilling and engaging experience. 4. Ask Questions 🤔 Don’t hesitate to ask questions—there’s no such thing as a dumb question. You’re surrounded by experienced people who have valuable insights to share. Seeking clarity not only helps you do your job better but also shows your eagerness to learn and grow. 5. Celebrate Small Wins 🏆 Amidst the daily tasks, it’s easy to overlook small victories. At Digiday, we use Nectar to recognize and celebrate achievements. There’s no better feeling than receiving a shoutout and Nectar points for helping out a colleague or hitting a goal. It’s a fantastic way to stay motivated and appreciated. #CareerGrowth #Marketing #RemoteWork #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerLessons

✌️Hi Chuen! How did you come across INVERS? After taking a six-month pause to reset my work-life balance and focus on my family, I was drawn to INVERS. Their understanding of my need for flexibility, shown through a patient and accommodating hiring process, shows how much INVERS values people - it was a refreshing and much-appreciated change compared to my previous employers. I knew right away INVERS is the the right choice for me. I am now part of an intercontinental marketing team, collaborating with individuals who are not only skillful but also passionate about their work and the concept of shared mobility. 👩💻 So, what is your role in the marketing team, could you give us a glimpse into your typical workday? As a technical writer and content creator at heart, two phrases resonate deeply with me: ‘Hello World’ and ‘Content is King.’ Indeed, content will always reign supreme, although the mediums and methods of delivery may evolve with advancing technology. Despite these changes, the core principle remains: content must speak to the audience. I look forward to continually refining my content creation and storytelling skills and expanding into the rich, expressive world of video storytelling. My typical day consists of refining content plans and crafting compelling content. As I am still relatively new to the team, there is a lot of exciting new things to learn and experience, and everyday is a joy. 💙 What do you value most about working here? What I truly value at INVERS is the tight-knit, welcoming team environment. The company fosters a sense of community and respect for individuality, allowing my expertise and creativity to be fully appreciated and utilized. Everyone is part of a larger team, united by a single goal—advancing shared mobility. Coming from a Chinese background, I was taught that the four essentials in life are clothing, food, shelter, and mobility. The innovative concept of shared mobility, especially its novelty in Canada, presented an irresistible challenge and learning opportunity. 👀 Just curious, if you had the chance to change one thing about INVERS, what would it be? We need more global offices! Currently, we have locations in Germany and Canada, which offer fantastic work-cation opportunities. However, expanding our presence to more countries like Japan, Australia and New Zealand could further enhance these opportunities and our global footprint. I know many colleagues would love that - I would! Thanks Chuen, we’re very happy to have you onboard! 🙌 #peopleatinvers #womeninmobility

My dad says I need to stop quitting jobs, as if I do it every month… My boyfriend jokes it's ‘one job, one year’ (there's a chant and everything!) I say I don’t stay in places that aren’t right for me, enjoy title upgrades and pay increases. So here’s my latest career update as we kickstart 2024: 📆 1st November: I quit my job. I lost my passion and knew we didn’t have the right set up for success. Staying wasn’t the right move for my career. 📆 3rd November: The CEO stands down - change is afoot 👀 📆 6th November: They close UK and NORAM operations, scaling back to just focus on France and inbound. It’s back to basics, because the basics worked. It’s been a rollercoaster. But one that I’ve come out of feeling pretty good. And that’s because of the three key learnings from my career: 😎 Always Be Learning: This helped confirm my suspicions that it wasn't going to work out, and I was still passionate about marketing, just not this job. 🤝 Build Good Relationships: I left on good terms, with a good package and for the first time in my career paid garden leave. (boy have I been simming a lot!) 🤨 Trust Your Gut: I sensed something wasn’t right, and I was correct, so when it happened I had a plan in place and took control. See how the three connect? So here's to an exciting 2024, looking out for new opportunities that tick my boxes, continuing to learn all things marketing and above all else enjoy spending time with my dog. #Marketing #JustJosieMarketing #MarketingTips

1 year ago: Working hard in a corporate job, only to be told I wasn’t yet fit for promotion. Today: Co-Founder of DesignGuru, leading an incredible team of 14 members. 🥲 Here’s what happened: Around this time last year, the feedback I got from my job was clear. I needed to: → Prove my leadership skills. → Prove my business acumen. → Master the art of creating process maps (a critical leadership skill apparently…) So what did I do? I quit my job. 😅 Because I: → Knew my worth. → Was reading “Four Hour Work Week” by Tim Ferris at the time. → Had some encouragement from William Wilkinson and Mario Lanzarotti. Fast forward to today, it’s been approx. 15 months since I handed in my resignation. And our start-up has: → Passed £45k MRR. → Just onboarded our 14th full-time employee. → Passed 39 active clients only after 8 months. And during this time, I’ve: → Grown more as a leader. → Made decisions and taken responsibility without a corporate safety net. → Learned more about business than in my entire 6-year corporate career. And weirdly… I’ve not had to create any process maps. 🤷🏻 But then again, I delegate that task by paying contractors to do it for me. 💁♀️ The takeaway? Life is short. Know your worth. Take a risk. Celebrate the small wins along the way.

In 2019, I was 32 and starting my career over. Again. The CEO at my startup pulled me aside and told me my role was changing next week. I was going to be a product manager. I asked, "What does a product manager do?" I had spent the last 4 years in online education, creating content for premium courses. This was the golden age of online courses. Our courses sold for $300, $1995, $3,495, and even $9,995. It went like I finally "cracked the code" on what my career path was supposed to be. (Quite the difference from bouncing around on free gigs and eating peanut butter sandwiches to get by.) Despite knowing nothing about product, I agreed to the role change. And immediately regretted it. The transition was one of the hardest of my career. It was like learning to fly in mid-flight. And the instructions were in hieroglyphs. That first week, our lead engineer wasted half a day explaining to me what a userid was and why they existed. I told a mentor I was ready to throw in the towel. It was too hard trying to keep up with people who have been at this for a decade. He told me to stick it out. Then he gave me the best career advice I heard in years: "Think about career paths like ladders. And you want to be on the tallest ladder, even if that means starting from the bottom rung." "Getting put in product is the best thing that could have happened to you," he said. "Stick it out." Fast forward to today, I feel like I've acquired an entirely new set of tools to build things. And applied those skills in online education, health, and climate change. Would I have been better off focusing on what I was already good at, and deepening my expertise as a course creator? Maybe. But this "ladder" opened doors I didn't know existed. If you find yourself at a career crossroads, ask yourself two questions: 1/ "What ladder am I?" 2/ "How high can I go?" --- My name is Chris Ming.

Fun fact, my first 40hr/week job was for $300/month (plus room & board) on a small island in Thailand. Here's the backstory (scroll to the bottom if you just want to hear my learnings): • Graduated a semester early from college at 20 years-old after having career-ending (baseball) surgery at the beginning of my Junior year. • Two weeks before graduating, I learned about the whole teaching abroad thing. Realizing that I had no idea what I actually wanted for my future and less than stoked to spend the rest of my life behind a desk, I was in Thailand three weeks later as a Computer Applications teacher helping high schoolers learn Adobe products. • Did that for a year before deciding I needed to make the switch to Marketing (what I majored in) to make sure my career didn't fall behind, even though I still wanted to stay in Thailand. • Centara Hotels & Resorts had just opened up their first property for a new "lifestyle" brand targeted at my generation. Their goal was to grow that brand to 25 properties over 5 years, so I took the $300/month job trusting that: if I put in the work I'd be recognized (thank you Tom Thrussell and Jakub Piwowarski) and be able to grow my career with the brand. Why did I make this choice? At that time remote work wasn’t as possible and trying to get a job abroad without having Director+ experience was next to impossible. So, I decided to start from the ground up as a "trainee". • After a year with the brand, I was promoted to Marketing Manager and was able to live much more comfortably (great)! • Enter Covid a year later. I had just started dating my now wife. Conflict: I knew the hotel industry wasn't going to be the best for my career now that Covid had entered the picture; however, I wanted to stay in Thailand to see where this relationship went. Enter Scopic Software - where I was able to start working for US companies while working remotely. • After spending two years at Scopic where I ended up specializing in automations, ESP, CRM and Project Management, I made the switch to RevPartners knowing that RevOps was a sustainable career choice and that if I got good at it, it'd serve my future well. More than that, it fit my marketing interests. • Two years later, I'm here doing fractional RevOps work - riding the orange wave. Here's what I've learned: 1. Put in the work, provide value, and you will be appreciated and recognized. 2. Jump into streams that are flowing and align with your skillset/personality - they will carry you a long way. 3. Don't make sacrifices on what you want. Decide what it is and take the actions/risk necessary to make it happen. 4. Trust. 5. Build relationships. All that to say, take some chances on yourself but only if you're willing to put in the work.

Three years ago today I joined the incredible team at Big Leap Digital Marketing Agency (just one week after getting married). Looking back, it's been a journey filled with collaboration, teamwork, algorithm updates, growth, and change. Here are just a few reasons I enjoy my job: 👍 Continuous Growth: This agency is all about pushing boundaries and constantly learning. It's inspiring to be surrounded by a group that's always seeking to improve and master their craft. 👍Evolving Team: Who I’ve worked directly with has shifted several times since 2021 which brings fresh perspectives. I've loved getting to know and work with so many talented people throughout my time here so far. 👍Good People: Giving my all at work is much more rewarding when surrounded by amazing people. We're a team that lifts each other up! 👍 Remote Work: Big Leap's hybrid & remote-work culture has been life-changing. Last year, I was able to support Nick on several clinical rotations in Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, and Utah for PT school without changing roles. The flexibility I have continues to be a massive blessing! 👍The Power of Teamwork: The supportive and collaborative environment makes all the difference. At Big Leap, we celebrate wins and support each other through challenges. 👍Values I Believe In: Working for a company that prioritizes trust is incredibly rewarding. Every decision we make has our core values at its heart. We cheer each other on, serve others, and foster an environment of learning. A huge shoutout to everyone at Big Leap who has made these past three years so incredible! 🙌 And since I don’t quite feel like posting a BeReal. of me at my computer here on LinkedIn this is a fun memory of getting together with fellow remote Big Leapers in February near SLC! Happy times. #BigLeap #DigitalMarketing #MyBigLeap #RemoteWork #AchieveExcellence #WorkAnniversary
