Hatch sat down with Anna, Core Ops Process Analyst at Uber to learn more about her early career story and why she uses Hatch to find work!
What is your role at Uber?
Anna: I'm currently working as a Core Ops Process Analyst at Uber, focusing on compliance processes and automation projects within the Core Ops Team. Essentially, I ensure that drivers comply with regulations from each state for ride-sharing services.
I joined Uber in November 2023, so it's been about five months. Before that, I was working as an intern at an e-commerce company and also studying at University.
How did your internship experience contribute to your career development?
Anna: The internship was invaluable in providing real-life work experience, and teaching me workplace expectations, communication skills, and critical thinking. While University provides foundational knowledge, the internship helped me apply it in practical settings.
What is your most valuable transferable skill?
Anna: I believe my curiosity is my superpower. While it's not something you can easily showcase on a resume, it drives me to understand companies deeply and ask the right questions, which is crucial in my role.
What has been your biggest learning experience so far?
Anna: One of the biggest lessons was realising the importance of setting boundaries and prioritising self-care. I pushed myself too hard at times, leading to burnout. Learning to balance ambition with self-care has been key.
What are your career aspirations?
Anna: In the short term, I'm interested in transitioning into product management within tech companies. However, I also have dreams of exploring entrepreneurial ventures like opening a bakery or cafe in the future.
Do you have any advice for other young people looking for a job?
Anna: Tailoring your resume to each job application is crucial; it's not just a numbers game. Also, don't underestimate the value of video interviews, even though they can be daunting. They help improve communication skills and confidence.
Remember that every experience contributes to your growth, even if it's not what you expected. Stay curious, chase your interests, and don't be afraid to pivot if something doesn't feel right. Your journey will unfold in unexpected but rewarding ways.
