It is common for me to share real-life experiences that relate to careers or HR in my blogs. Sometimes they are about myself, occasionally they are (disguised but) about friends, family, acquaintances or clients. This time it’s about an Uber driver who I met last week. The drive started off with the usual pleasantries, “Nice weather we are having, much better than yesterday …” but for whatever reason, this man decided to ask me what I do for a living. When I told him, I was an HR Consultant and Career Coach he immediately replied with a chuckle, “I wish I’d have known you and consulted with you last year! Now I’m stuck driving this car 15 hours a day just to support my family.”
