I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some Money Rehab.
Money Rehab Hi, I'm Claire Wasserman, the founder and author of Ladies Get Paid, a coaching practice newsletter and podcast dedicated to helping women embrace their worth inside and out. I'm so honored to be guest hosting for Nicole while she's out on maternity leave, although a bit of a heads up that My hosting, it's slightly different because instead of interviewing my guests, I'm actually coaching them. They'll be calling in cameras off just to protect their identity so that they feel as comfortable as possible to share. That's because I believe that transparency is transformative. And when you can see yourself in someone else's journey differently, you realize that you're just a little less alone. So today's guest is Katie, who wants to pivot from being a nurse to going into the tech healthcare field. But she's feeling really demoralized because even though she's getting past a couple of rounds of interviews, they keep telling her that they're going with candidates that have, quote, more traditional experience. I know how that feels.
So I give her tips on how to tell her story in a more compelling way, that her skills really are transferable, and that the learning curve will be minimal. I also talked to her about how she can kind of broaden the field of where she's applying to, how to be more creative and more strategic in doing research on what companies are out there. This is really good for somebody who maybe is considering a career pivot or someone who's in the throes of the job search and is just getting demoralized. Don't worry, I got you. Hey, Katie, thanks so much for joining us today on the podcast. If you can give me some more context to what you're going through and how I can best support you, let's get started.
Of course. So my name is Katie and I'm a nurse and I've been working as a nurse manager for the past nine years or so. And I've mostly worked in healthcare, obviously, because it's the most easy profession and field to get into with a background as a nurse. But I'd really love to move into more of a tech role in like healthcare tech companies. I feel like there's such a boom right now with people really trying to creatively solve problems in wonderful ways with telehealth or with new and unique offerings. And I really love to move into more like project or product management with tech roles or in the tech field, and I'm just not totally sure how to do that. So for some additional background, I have interviewed with a couple of companies in the city that I live in, and I make it to the hiring manager round, and I hear them saying in the interviews, Like, oh, I can see that your experience leading a team is relevant to this, but you don't have experience using this technology or you don't have experience actually leading a product team.
But you have experience with this kind of team or you have a different experience with project management, but no formal title. And I guess I would love some... some guidance on the right way forward. Cause I have a master's, I have the experience on my resume that I have and like how to present that in the best light so that people are willing to take a chance on me since I'm a more untraditional candidate frequently applying to these jobs.
