Creative professional Brianna Jacobson shares insights into building the career you want to have.

How do you find the right career trajectory for you when there is no set path to success? Starting your journey into the creative workforce can feel daunting—that’s why we joined with Handshake’s own Lead Brand Writer Brianna Jacobson to candidly shed light on:

  • Her own journey for finding the right career fit
  • Balancing multiple jobs at once
  • What happens when you decide to pivot from your “dream” career

During the virtual event, Brianna recalled her job working in-house creating content for tech while simultaneously working part time at SNL, and answered live questions about starting out and gaining entry-level experience in the creative space. Enjoy the full conversation below!
