    Hi KCHOI. I definitely relate to the person who asked about staying motivated through rejections (as I am sure many do). When I chose to leave my career in the Air Force it was months of false hope, interviews that led to nowhere, hours of filling applications, and replying to recruiter's emails with no promising results. I had an MBA and 14 years of directly related experience. I got no, after no, after no... But through all that, it made me better. Better at interviewing, better at writing a resume, and better at looking for opportunities. It resulted in my career in consulting with a firm that truly values me, my experience, and my potential. A job should be about what YOU are looking for, not what a company is looking for. It's easy to feel overwhelmed but no matter what, know what you are worth and do not accept anyone that is not willing to let you live up to your full career potential.

    I’ve just started out in people and change management consulting- do you ever see yourself leaving as time goes on (especially as you’re getting married) and do you worry about the travelling because of your lifestyle changing? Where would you see yourself going,

    • @Yusuf-zm4gn
      @Yusuf-zm4gn 4 года назад +2

      Hey thought I'd chime in here 🙂 having been around consulting for ~5 years now and getting married not too long ago I can definitely understand where this question is coming from! If you can set expectations AND manage them well then it will make the work life balance manageable. But the reality is the work life in consulting is not very conducive to family life where you want to dedicate the majority of yourself to your family. The beauty of the situation is you're very attractive to employers in industry/government as a result of your consulting experience so you definitely have options. Good luck with it all!

    • @bykchoi
      @bykchoi  4 года назад +4

      working while eventually starting a family is definitely on my mind, but i honestly don't worry about it too much -- I have faith that i'll make the right personal and work decisions when the time comes!

    dear kchoi! hi! do u have friends that work in landscape design field. i used to love this major but then i applies for some famous design firms and i just kept getting rejections. i think they just took 2people out of 400 applicants. so this really made me have some doubts about this career path. like is it all saturated in the landscape market? and i kinda want to switch to computer-human interaction design while apply for graduate school and maybe join the mainstream-work for tech companies ?

    Totally not relevant to the video, but I’ve just started buying plants this month since I’m moving to New York this week from Rhode Island ( originally from Georgia)
    I really enjoy being a plant 🌱 mom. Lol! All I can do is look at your plants in the background. They’re so pretty and look like low maintenance plants which is what I invest in. I’m allergic to everything including pets so plants are the next best thing for something to care for and watch grow. Plus I don’t buy things to decorate my room. I just use plants as decorations which helps keep clutter down and being minimalistic as much as possible. Since I’m a young adult and can see myself eventually moving out the country.
    Cool 😎 job! And great info video!

    I think consulting is really interesting and you have a steep learning curve that you won't get anywhere else. The only problem is all the traveling. I have a relationship for years now, before I went to college and we live together and so on. The travelling would be a problem so I feel like beeing stucked between two very big decisions. Do you have any advice for this issue? I will graduate in october and I am very lucky getting a middle-management role for my first professional position but I would love to solve that issue because the consulting industry is not out of this world for me. Greetings from Germany :)

  • @Yusuf-zm4gn
    @Yusuf-zm4gn 4 года назад +3

    Ahh good old jealousy - if only people could see the 'inside out' view as opposed to the 'outside in'... A lot of the people that you'd think are doing so well career wise have a myriad of other struggles they face. And I'm talking senior partners and execs.
    The reality is, to be highly successful at one thing, something else has to give and sacrifices are inevitable. No person is worth envying to the point that you make yourself miserable. Focus on being as well rounded as you can be in all aspects of life and you'll find yourself in a truly unique position 🙂

    This video just reinforced my dreams of wanting to work in change management consulting, specifically organizational change management (OCM) since I will be graduating with my bachelor's in Business Psychology and plan on getting a master's in I/O Psychology. Do you have any advice as to what type of work experience is the most relevant to change management besides consulting? I know it might be different for OCM but so far I think it would be anything in organizational development, organizational effectiveness or HR. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
