EP33 with guest Anaïs Urlichs - Career Development

Welcome back to another Lisa at the Edge Episode.    I am joined by the awesome Anaïs Urlichs.  Anaïs begins a new role this week as Developer Advocate at Aqua Security, she is a CNCF Ambassador and a GitHub Star! Anaïs has had an interesting career journey so far.  So of course I asked her to share that with us.  We hear how technology was not the first profession which Anaïs dreamed about, can you guess what she wanted to be when she was young?  Listen to find out!    📝Full Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3IWkWC2 💬 Key Conversation Points 💬   0:22 Introductions  03:45 Early career aspirations   08:36 Applying for roles & dealing with rejection  10:37 Any experience is good experience   12:40 Technical Writing - Lessons Learned   13:40 Importance of feedback for growth  16:29 What happened next - the need to build  18:01 Developer Advocate opportunity in Blockchain  21:59 Value of Community and Developer Advocacy   25:30 What happened next - Community Management  28:00 A recruiter message which stood out  29:22 Using Kubernetes for the first time during an interview process  31:45 Starting YouTube & Content Creation  37:54 Insight from my Yoga Teacher :)   39:09 What happened next - need to be challenged  43:40 Back to Developer Advocacy   48:15 Opportunistic Career Development   50:57 Importance of Employers supporting and valuing their Employees  CONNECT🙌    Twitter https://twitter.com/urlichsanais [twitter.com]  Newsletter https://devops.anaisurl.com/ [devops.anaisurl.com]  YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/AnaisUrlichs/ [youtube.com]  100DaysOfKubernetes 100daysofkubernetes.io/ [100daysofkubernetes.io]    💜LISA AT THE EDGE💜   Website: https://lisaattheedge.com   Buy me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lisaattheedge   🎬Video graphics by the amazing Krist McKenna from Ratworks: http://www.ratworks.net/
