#LifeAtProcore Insiders

I get a lot of people asking me what they can do here at Procore. I always wish I could tell someone exactly what the perfect role for them would be, but there is no way for me to know that! Instead, I share the sage advice I have learned over my career both as an individual pursuing my own career, and also as a career development professional: focus on the problems and challenges that excite you and work your way back from there. When you start with 'what can I do?' you can end up with tunnel vision and only see a few opportunities. But when you start with the things that interest and excite you, you start to see a whole world out there and then you can explore those different avenues. That's what helps you narrow it down. Consider how you want to serve a company. Do you want to work with customers directly, or do you want to be focused internally? Do you want to attract or retain customers? Are you a builder? Do you love creating things? Or do you get a thrill from dissecting, identifying a problem, and finding a solution? There are all kinds of questions like that to explore. Figure that stuff out. Then you can start to shift into where that all fits into teams and roles. Making career decisions can be a lot of work! When you take the time to really dive in and explore, chances are better that you will direct yourself toward something you will be really engaged in for the long term.
