My Mission
|
Hi, there! My name is Yailenys!
I was born in Cuba and lived there until the age of seven. When I was four years old, my father and his friends built a boat and managed to get across the ocean to Miami, to finally build the life that he wanted for himself and his family. He spent three years working any job he could get so that he could save enough money to bring the rest of my family to the United States. Finally, when I was seven years old, my father hired a coyote to get my mother, my sister and me across the water to the "land of dreams." We snuggled under blankets to stay dry and warm, and I remember feeling scared that we weren’t going to make it. I didn’t realize at the time what the impact of that dangerous trip would have on my life but I am grateful for this life-changing experience. If you’re an immigrant too you might understand this, but I felt pressure to succeed from my family from the time I started school. I knew that the dangerous water crossing and sacrifices that my parents had made to give me a chance at the American dream could not be in vain and the responsibility stood squarely on my shoulders. For a long time, I did not know "what I wanted to be when I grew up" but after college I stumbled across a career path that changed my life, Human Resources. Human Resources is the leadership and management of workers, the greatest resource of an organization. I'm currently completing my Masters Degree in the field of Human Resources, which has led me to develop a passion for helping workers maximize their career opportunities. I have finally found my calling and a way to contribute to my community. I want to share my knowledge from Human Resources to encourage and educate workers to understand their role in an organization, confidently take on job searches using the HR perspective, and find fulfilling work that has great impacts in their life and in our community. In January of 2021, I started New Perspectives Consulting, a company devoted to helping mission-driven professionals effectively market themselves and create successful and impactful careers using the latest Human Resource tips and methods to land jobs. I am excited to meet you and help you move your career forward. I look forward to learning about you and being part of your story as you find a way to contribute to this great world of ours. |
