Your Career Coach Talee Snow

Grew up in Chino Hills, CA Played softball at UCLA, 2011-2013 seasons Medically retired senior year (very familiar with unexpected and abrupt identity change) Graduated in 2014 with a Degree in Political Science Landed a District Manager Trainee job after graduation and pursued a career in operations management

Who am I?

How I used my Experience as a Student- Athlete to Land a Great Job

Identified My Motivators

As an athlete, I took pride in my work-ethic, ability to lead and being the communication liaison between my athletic department, coaches and teammates.

Picked a Career Path

I then focused my career search on positions that would allow me to utilize my unique strengths and skillsets that I acquired through years of balancing academics and athletics and started applying.

Proved I Was The Strongest Candidate for the Job WITHOUT Business Experience or a Business Degree

Job Description Requirements

Examples of Traits & Characteristics Athletes Possess

Time Management Teamwork Poised Under Pressure Self-Discipline Goal Setting Persistence Confidence Public Speaking Problem Solving Coachable Ability to Manage Many Responsibilities Communication Skills Results-Oriented Competitive Drive Resiliency Adaptability Emotional Maturity Determination

Situation: Competing with teammates for a starting position. Action: Balancing the personal desires to "win a spot" with the

• verall goal of doing what's best for the team. Giving it 110%

everyday while still rooting for your teammates to do well even if that means the starting spot. Result: Most games I started but in the games I wasn't on the field I would find another way to produce, be productive and contribute to overall success of the team (Elaborate on a specific example here/how I made a difference).

A Skill the Company Is Looking For:

"Ability to work cooperatively and collaboratively with a group of individuals to make the work of the group successful and effective."

Why That Skill Is Strength of Mine:

Let's Work Together!
