About this listen

In this week's episode, Devon and Sarah-Jane sit down with Jenn Powell, a self-described "Jenn of all trades."

Currently, Jenn coordinates events and training for clients across the postsecondary education industry in Canada. But how did she get there?

In this chat, we hit on some great nuggets of info:

  • Surviving never working in the thing you studied for
  • Taking education on a continuing basis while working
  • Understanding how postsecondary education works by working in postsecondary education
  • The benefits of regular networking, plus having the guts to reach out to a potential employer when they post on LinkedIn about an employee leaving
  • Leaning into curiosity and asking questions to find out how many different versions there might be of a career you want to pursue
  • Doing something for fun, even if it didn't work out to be your career
