Ginnie Carlier, Americas Vice Chair, Talent at EY: Why You Need to Be More Adventurous in Your Career

The Blind Ambition with Jack Kelly

Ginnie Carlier, Americas Vice Chair, Talent at EY

Ginnie reflects on the best professional advice she's ever received: You need to have an adventurous mindset. We explore how adventure and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone can unlock new career opportunities. Ginnie explains how she put the advice into practice and how it landed her hot roles in Silicon Valley, working on high-tech IPO transactions and getting international experience in a new role in the Middle East.

We also discover what it takes to stand out as a candidate at EY. Ginnie recalls her best interview and why it was with someone with a non-traditional background for a "Big Four" firm. She breaks down the application and what turned the resume into a must-read and must-interview, which is especially important as EY received more than 1 million applications worldwide last year!
