Kavita is excited to join the Central Workforce Development Board, sharing, “I am so excited to be able to connect those in need with career resources and enhance their job seeking journey. I am also thrilled to be able to meet others in the field that support humans through what can be an arduous process!”
When asked what advice she would give her younger self when starting a career, Kavita said, “Your first job will not be your forever job. Yes, it’s important to ensure that you’re aligning your skills, abilities, and experiences as well as your passion and values with a company and position, but it’s okay if your first job isn’t your dream job. Nothing is permanent. Change is a constant, and change in positions offers growth. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself in finding the absolute right and perfect job. Find one that feels good. You’re interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Look at what kind of work environment, leadership style, culture, values, and benefits the organization has – this affects your daily life as much as the actual job does!”
We are thrilled to have Kavita’s expertise and passion at the table as we continue working to strengthen communities through workforce development efforts. Please join us in welcoming her to the Central Workforce Development Board.
