Our guest today is Ambika Nigam. She is the Founder of Zeit, a career discovery platform that empowers the multi-skilled generation to traverse their ultimate career path. After a nonlinear career that included stints at finance company OppenheimerFunds, ad agency Ogilvy and Mather, famous product company Ideo, and head of product at Bloomberg, Ambika set out to build a platform to help others find a career that aligns with their unique skills, talents, and interests. Today, we talk about how storytelling and demonstrating how past experiences are transferable can help convey that you are more than your resume.
I love this interview for so many reasons, but mainly because this episode embodies what the Career Switch Podcast is all about – normalizing regular career change and helping to show that people with broad experience can provide immense value.
