Stories That Shape Us Aren't Always Our Own

Ash Rao fell into a career that now, ten years into it, she continues to find rewarding and challenging. What she seems to love most about her work as a recruiter and career coach is that moment when she identifies something special about the person in front of her or on the phone. When she figures that out about a person, she can truly help them find a job they love.

Because so much of our happiness and satisfaction in life depends on having a job we feel good about, Ash's work makes a huge difference in the lives of the people she serves, and she honors that with every conversation.

Our conversation was rich with ideas about career transitions, what makes her feel rewarded and satisfied in her work, and the legacy we can envision, especially as we experience grief.

Ash Rao works as a Global Talent Acquisition expert at verizon. She is a certified career coach and a published author. Her work has appeared in major publications like Thrive Global, Fast Company, and powerhouse global magazine.

Last year she contributed to the published book Tough Road Creates Tough People.

Her new podcast "Passion to Profession" is launching March 2020.
