What advice would you tell your younger self , what
you know now?
Dear Rina(me at 18 years old),
Yes,
I'm 38 years old now. I've done my career and also a job that was linked to my
passion now and then when I was a teenager.
First,
I was a hair stylist and an accounting clerk. Wow !! Since I had both work
experiences, then became a young hair salon manager at 26 years old. Usually in
that field it takes years to be manager. It's not anything like the office jobs
that you get promoted after months.
So
many people in my family had passed in those years after and also close friend
had passed away so young too. I went into jobs that were part-time or temporary
jobs.
Over
32 years old, it was like a roller coaster kept on going to interviews for full
time jobs and never got call backs. I wondered why till i asked one of them
that interviewed me. I won't mention the place or company. To be honest they
told me that they wanted someone that was younger!!!!!!!! Wow that's honesty
for real.....
It's
a shame and disappointment ... That's all I said and say.
I
followed my passion for fashion since I was 13 years old and helping people
like I used to when I was a sales person giving advice about shoes and clothes
when I worked in stores. You know that the internet did not exist then or any
social media. My google was a library LOL
Back
in the day that was over 20 years ago, my profession now never had
existed !! Wow I'm glad that now that I have a chance to work in fashion
with Social Media!! It's almost like having your printed magazine on the
internet!!
Finally my last words, always remember to all who is
reading this. Follow Your Dreams and Passion that you had as a kid or a
teenager! Don't let anyone change your mind ...
Never give up !!
Hope that you enjoyed
reading this,
Rina De Cola
