TaJ? 007. Adam Viet's Adventure: NCAA Basketball, Personal Training, Insurance Call Center, IT Recruiter

career adventure podcast Apr 05, 2022

In this episode, we learn the pathway of a former NCAA College Basketball player to a world he never thought he would cross after sports.

My friend Adam Viet and I met in the early 2000s while I was working at the University of Northern Iowa in Athletic Marketing, and Adam was coming off the bench to shoot 3-pointers for the Panthers.

We connected back a few years ago when he found the world of employment recruitment after discovering that personal training (exercise science major) and a call center job in the insurance industry were not for him.

Adam will tell you that communication and being a proactive "go-getter" are what employers are looking for in today's job market. He will give you tips in this episode on how to show that in an interview.

TaJ? 006. Jennifer Lindsey's Adventure: Food Scientist. Sensory Scientist, Flavor Applications Tech, Global Marketing

podcast Mar 17, 2022

In this episode, we get to hear about a world of work that I would be confident in saying no one thinks much about, but you should.

With almost 30 years of experience in the profession of Food Science, Jennifer Lindsey (VP Global Marketing at Corbion) charts through the process from going through college on a medical path to one day being a part of designing butter for movie theater popcorn and formulating methods for the ready to eat rice crispy treats.

She has found her energy and purpose in combining business and science in the work she does as it fits one of the key Physiological needs in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. She honestly says she is in her dream job using science to create benefits for our lives.

Her advice to people: Never stop learning, make self-awareness a priority in knowing your weaknesses and strengths, be vulnerable and empathetic. This applies to any path you follow.

He interviews Nate Clayberg to learn how to make career exploration a regular part of the learning experience, how to form genuine business partnerships between schools and local businesses, and the impact this has on young people beyond their time in K-12 education.

To create career exposure opportunities, business leaders need to trust that having young learners in their workspaces will be fruitful. To prove that it will be fruitful, they need to have young learners in their workspaces. Nate Clayberg from the Center for Advanced Professional Studies knows how to break through this "chicken or the egg" paradox.
