Defining Moments

How I responded to discouragement

  • THE NOISE

    Messages from Myself:

    Always play it safe and stay in one job, I have never done that working in the food industry. I have had the luxury of working for a major contract company and always had the ability to move onto a better job within the same company

  • How I responded:

    Stick to your gut feeling, turn off the noise and do the work for yourself, by that i mean research the field and be on top of your game. Make contacts and keep in touch with people, this is how you hear about job promotions and the latest updated in your field.
