The Pivot Pioneers Q+A with Alexandria Yamazaki and Renée Mittelstaedt

Career Pivots, Imposter Syndrome, and More

Originally published: October 9, 2020

By far one of my favorite things that have happened during quarantine was (virtually) sitting down with my friend Renée Mittelstaedt on this IG Live Q+A series. She is the definition of a multi-hyphenate and watching her grow her business has truly been inspiring.

The Pivot is a semimonthly newsletter for New York City-based models who want to explore different work environments, diversify their professional network, and achieve career security. Her newsletter and blog are chock-full of stellar career resources and Renée recently launched Rework- a resume and cover letter writing service- swoon. As we all know, resume writing can be an absolute nightmare so luckily for us The Pivot has got it covered. 

In this IG Live, I spoke about why developing a professional brand online is crucial for making a career pivot, how to overcome imposter syndrome, and shared some of my plans for the future. You can also find this conversation on@anchor.fm here. This was such a fun conversation, I hope you enjoy!
