If you are seeking a career that will be memorable and impactful, sometimes you may need to step outside of your comfort zone and take a leap into unknown waters. I took the leap twice - once when changing my role function (from accounting to recruiting), and secondly, industry-wise when joining Nokia. I did not regret either of those decisions and I feel this is where I belong. Don't be afraid to pursue your passion, with dedication and consistency your career aspirations can become a reality.

Greatest achievements
When thinking about my achievements, it was hard to decide on one specific moment, because as a Talent Acquisition Partner, you create so much impact in so many different ways. My great achievement was to create an imprint on the many fundamental layers of Talent Acquisition in Nokia - whether it was identifying talent, employer branding, candidate experience, change management, or career search support to name a few. Contributing to the advancement of Nokia's Talent Acquisition has been a key highlight of my career.

A friend invited me to apply as a software developer, so I did. When I got the results from the assessment test – the examiner informed me that I failed the exam but suggested me a QA position. I immediately jumped on the opportunity without knowing what QA was. The manager offered me that opportunity in the company as he knew my learnability. Nokia provided training, coaching, and mentoring, and I enjoyed the work. As I developed my knowledge, an architecture and specification position opened, and I was excited about it. But I thought I was not yet ready for the role. I consulted my manager about it and asked for his opinion, and he encouraged me to go for it and to try it out. Fast forward to hardship and several leaps of faith, and I am excited to grow and try new things. This year I started my new position. Looking back, I am grateful to mention three key points: 1. Don’t be afraid to try new things. There’s no additional knowledge if you already know it – what is QA? 2. Develop your knowledge. Learning is a never-ending process: if you don’t know – study! 3. How will you know if you don’t try? You might regret it one day if you haven't tried.

Your dreams show what you can become. They are your hopes, what you love, and the future you want. Always be ready to learn new things. Learning helps you grow. Identify your fears and challenge them. Don't let fear hold you back from pursuing your goals and taking risks. Take responsibility for your growth, development, and success. Don't wait for others to empower you; empower yourself. Don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they might sound basic. Asking questions demonstrates curiosity and a desire to learn.

It emphasizes the proactive mindset needed when seeking opportunities. Instead of waiting for opportunities to come to you, take action, be creative, and actively pursue your goals. Whether it is related to your career, personal life, or any other aspect, you can create opportunities through your efforts and determination. Open yourself to the possibilities; if you wait until you are ready, you might miss a unique chance. Be willing to have the hustle muscle to figure it out. Some opportunities might only come once, SEIZE them :)
