Deep dive into Barbie's colourful career journey...

🔍 It's IMPOSSIBLE to put Barbie's career journey to date into a box (figuratively speaking) 🚀

She's the ultimate job hopper. A "girlboss," if you will.

A Jill of all trades, master of... them all?! 🤔

We thought it was only fair to commemorate the release of the Barbie film today by taking a deep-dive into Barbie's colourful career and spotlighting some of her most obscure roles.

Since 1959, Barbie has had over 500 separate jobs in over 150 careers. She's been living her best life. There's surely a thing or two we can learn from her, after all. 💅

Grab your mocktails and put your Teams/Slack on 'Do Not Disturb.' Entertain us for a minute or two by scrolling through the post below. You may even learn something new. 👇

Feeling inspired? Head to GetMyFirstJob to get started on your own career journey today, or (like Barbie) make the career change you've been craving through an apprenticeship or grad role.

Life in Brighton: A Sussex Uni Student Vlog

CAMERA + EDITING → I've been lucky enough to call Brighton my adopted home for over a year now, so I thought it would be fun to showcase the city's atmosphere and creative vibes to new and prospective Sussex students, as well as to others who want an overview of Brighton's picturesque locations - from Central Pier and Brighton Beach, to The Lanes and North Laine (you'll learn to not get those last two confused with time!). I hope you enjoy!
