On this episode of Promoted, Merit America alum Sadie Cassidy talks to her former Merit America career coach, Anne-Marcelle Kouame, about how she was able to recognize and communicate her transferable skills in her job search. Sadie opens up about how she discovered strengths she hadn’t recognized before and explains how everyday experiences can translate directly into in-demand job skills. Sadie also shares about how applying her practical skills to her hobbies (like anime – a hobby she and Anne-Marcelle share) and personal projects helped her hone her skills even more.
