Career Changers Should Let Their Qualifications Shine, Says Glow Recipe Co-Founder
For International Women's Day, Cheddar News sat down with Christine Chang, the co-founder of skincare brand Glow Recipe. Stepping out to start your own company is not a light decision, but she said prospective entrepreneurs will "have an aha moment" when the time is right. She suggested those thinking about starting a business should test out their ideas on social media and connect with others to make sure that there is interest.
Even if business ownership isn't on a person's to-do list, Chang offered this piece of advice to workers looking to make a career change: let your qualifications shine.
"Don't automatically think you're underqualified for the position you want," she said.
Loy Gordon, owner of Neir's Tavern, joined Cheddar News to discuss how he saved the establishment three times and why he did so. Gordon also showed Cheddar News some specialty drinks that patrons can enjoy.
