Raj Subrameyer is an international keynote speaker, tech career coach and author of ‘Skyrocket Your Career: The No Bullsh*t Approach to Find Your Dream Job, Be Successful in It, and Transform into a Rockstar’.Born and raised in Chennai, South India, Raj always felt like he was not good enough. His dad was super smart and his brother was a genius, he felt he was always being compared to them both and felt inferior. He was an introvert, suffered from social anxiety, body issues (fat kid) and felt an outcast. An event at Uni was a trigger for a major transformation of overcoming his fears which he writes about in his new book.Raj moved to the US in 2008 just as the recession started. He applied for 1293 jobs and got 4 callbacks, in which 1 converted into a ‘job’ or internship. His motto, ‘Do whatever it takes’.It is a timely conversation to be having as 30 millions jobs are being lost in the US alone right now. Take a listen to the podcast where we discuss:How to shift your mindset from scarcity to abundanceChange is possible and you are worthy of changeEstablishing credibility and trustBuilding a personal brandAnd some tips from Raj:To work out what job you want to do - complete the mind dump exerciseCreate 2 columns - What do you LIKE to do? / What do you HATE to do?Spend 30-60 minutes making this listChoose the Top 3 things from each columnSearch for jobs with the LIKE activities (run away from jobs that include things you HATE)For college grads - how to get your foot in the doorLooks for internships - paid or unpaid & add to your resumeInvest in yourself (or your startup career) - upskill - do online courses eg.
