Think of me as the opposite of a boring, old-school careers advisor who tells you to be an accountant because you're good at maths. Not your career test that suggested garbage collector because you scored high in "practical skills." Not your careers advisor who told you to avoid writing because you're dyslexic. Not your careers advisor who said "administrative assistant" because you're organised. Not your careers advisor who dismissed content creation because it's "not a proper job"... but then suggested sales (ugh, the irony!).
A week before I finished high school forever, my careers advisor looked me in the eye and said, "I really don't want you to get your hopes up."I was so confused. What was the point of all those assignments if it wasn't going anywhere?
I taught myself to solve real business problems before I'd even had a job, which is how I landed my first role at a Big 4 firm at 19, with a semester of uni still left to finish. Recruitment rang to check my age wasn't a typo.
Then my Masters thesis on teenage mental health became an award-winning school careers program, which was the biggest plot twist of my life that I did not see coming.
I spent my 20s figuring out how to hack my own career, upskilling, running experiments, saying yes to things that didn't look like "perfect opportunities" yet, and ended up 4X-ing my salary because of my skill set, not my job title.
None of it came from a personality test. None of it came from picking the "safe" degree. It came from having a method. A real one.
I'm dyslexic, and school was a constant struggle until I figured out how my brain actually works, then I went from struggling to topping my class. Which is why I will never, ever let a test result be the last word on what you're capable of.
I have also failed interviews, made wrong turns, and had many crying-in-my-room moments. I'm not going to pretend the path is straight. I'm going to give you the method so you waste less time in the wrong directions.
