Journeys with Final Round AI Episode 6

1. Early Career: worked in retail, feeling unfulfilled and dreaming of a more challenging career.

2. Passion: had a long-standing interest in robotics but lacked formal education or experience in the field.

3. Goal: aimed to break into the tech industry, specifically in robotics, but faced the challenge of transitioning from a completely unrelated career.

I’m Nathan. My journey to securing a position in the cutting-edge field of robotics, coming from a retail background, is a story of transformation, self-belief, and how Final Round AI became my bridge to a new world.

For years, I was in retail, a job that paid the bills but didn’t feed my soul. My true passion lay in robotics. I spent countless hours reading about it, experimenting with DIY kits, and dreaming of a career in this fascinating field. However, with no formal education or professional experience in tech, that dream felt like a distant fantasy.

That’s when I discovered Final Round AI. Initially, I was doubtful. How could an AI tool help someone like me, with no tech background, break into a highly specialized field like robotics? But as I engaged with Final Round AI, my skepticism turned into optimism. The tool helped me craft a resume that highlighted my transferable skills from retail, such as customer service excellence, problem-solving, and adaptability, and connected them to potential roles in tech companies.

The real game-changer, however, was Final Round AI’s Interview Copilot. Preparing for interviews in the tech sector, especially robotics, was daunting. I had to demonstrate not just my passion but also my potential to learn and contribute, despite my non-traditional background. The Copilot was like a mentor, providing me with insights into the robotics industry, guiding me through technical concepts, and helping me articulate my passion and vision for the future.

When interview day came, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement. But equipped with the knowledge and preparation from Final Round AI, I was able to confidently navigate through both technical and behavioral questions. The Copilot had prepared me well, teaching me how to connect my past experiences to the world of robotics and how to convey my enthusiasm and potential for growth.

The moment I received the job offer from a renowned robotics company, it was a surreal feeling. I had managed to leap from a career in retail directly into the tech world, into a field I had always dreamed of. Final Round AI didn’t just help me prepare; it helped me believe in myself and in the possibility of a complete career transformation.

To anyone out there who feels stuck in their current role or thinks their dreams are out of reach, let my story be an example. It’s not just about your past experience; it’s about your passion, your potential, and how you can leverage tools like Final Round AI to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
