Handshake students share how make realizations about their career and how they found the right career fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finding the right career fit can be quite the journey. Not every path will be the same and not every job will be the perfect fit. But taking what you like and what you dislike about a role can be useful in finding that perfect job later. By trying out new jobs or internships, you may learn more about yourself and the job preferences you have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two students share their experiences using Handshake and how they came to the conclusion that the job wasn&#8217;t the right fit for them&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find out what you don\u2019t like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes working a role you don\u2019t end up loving can actually be helpful in the long run. Handshake user, Sydney Abbate, found a job through Handshake but came to the conclusion that it wasn\u2019t for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understand what you do like<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, before using Handshake, Hannah Moskowitz wasn\u2019t sure what field she wanted to go into. As a journalism major, she knew that she would want to work in media, but wasn\u2019t sure which role. It wasn\u2019t until an internship in PR and content creation did she realize that a different career might fit her better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/joinhandshake.com\/blog\/students\/how-i-found-the-right-career-fit\/?mkt_tok=MzkwLVpURi0zNTMAAAGAfCr9PYoilstwlPPhp-BTuuKlqajWFUn9eIQ--Xpm7Qtdzk60obD1jUiMPjraQ7Ehhe6Y9voRrln6dyAI50qm73ckFQgfEX0cK_eZ2kZ99Q\">Read the rest of the article<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two students share their experiences using Handshake and how they came to the conclusion that the job wasn&#8217;t the right fit for them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28782,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[546],"tags":[],"wsuwp_university_location":[],"wsuwp_university_org":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28782"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4162"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7269,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions\/7269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_location?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"wsuwp_university_org","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vcea.wsu.edu\/student-success\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsuwp_university_org?post=4162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
