Tell her to start a blog. Tell her to do it not for the money, but to explore her interests through her writing. You'd be surprised how much people find out about themselves just through the simple task of writing down their thoughts.
She might have to work at the retail place for the time being until she finds her calling (for money).
I guess she could also seek career advice from professionals. It might be worth trying just to get an initial bearing.
- salemh 15y agoCould also lead her to PR, event coordination, copy writing / editing (based on her "natural" talents of writing, conversation, etc.) If she has any interest in a particular industry, find 10 companies. Cold call those 10 companies for an entry level position. Rinse, repeat 10x companies in 10x industries. Leg work = results.
- jdavid 15y agoYes, as an entrepreneur who is comfortable with rejection, I have recommended trying this. I think for now she needs something with a lower rejection rate.
- jdavid 15y agoShe has considered starting a blog, I will see if she is up for directing it in this way.
