Description
On this episode we hear from Jennifer. She has what she calls a meandering path to hospitality. First with stops in banking and technology, before opening her own restaurant. And now she has a tech company that connects trusted talent with flexible work opportunities in the hospitality industry. Each role she went into, across the different sectors involved her convincing someone to give her a chance and she tells us how she did that. For her career she had a plan, but as she says herself life kind of laughed at her and she realised she had to let go. One exercise that she has gone back to over the years is 'perfect on paper', which is ask yourself what you want in life, go for it and do not apologise for it. The two businesses that she started was born from something she saw was missing in the space. First was the restaurant serving healthy food. Second was the tech company to provide work to top talent, especially woman who needed flexible hours and providing businesses with staff to help run their businesses.
