I discovered my love for blogging started when I did food reviews as a high school student with limited budget but big appetite 🍣 As more things fell onto my plate—both literally and figuratively—I ended up de-prioritizing and discontinuing my food blog 🥲

Over time, I realized how much I missed blogging, so I started up kkarenism.com when many friends started asking me how I got unique opportunities to meet with senior leaders and execs and what I learned from them 💭 This was the perfect opportunity to share my learnings and takeaways because there was no value in gate keeping the info!

Eventually, I introduced Resume Rescue after receiving so many requests that it was too hard to keep track of 📝 Surprisingly, this gained traction around the world through word-of-mouth and I’ve now rescued 200+ resumes from Brazil, France, Philippines, Singapore and more!

My goal is to inspire others the way I’ve been inspired and pay it forward because I wouldn’t be here today if other people didn’t share their experiences and lessons with me 🌱 I hope that you find at least one thing that is helpful in your career journey—like how to create a career walking deck to help you stand out in coffee chats and job interviews 👀

If you’re a student, you’ll find tons of free resources to help you navigate university and new grad life. For those of you who may be mid/later in career or want more 1:1 access to me, I am happy to share premium package offers if you email me at kkarenism@gmail.com 🌟
