Careers at BIC

At BIC, we understand that career growth isn’t a one-size-fits-all journey. Whether you’re transitioning into the workforce, taking on new skills within your field, or looking to take your career to the next level, having a clear strategy is key. By understanding your strengths, aligning your work with your values, and building meaningful relationships, you can take charge of your professional path with confidence. 

We caught up with Bella Omerova, Talent Acquisition Partner for Europe, for her insights, “As a Talent Acquisition Partner and ACC-certified Career Coach, I’ve seen firsthand how a self-aware approach to discovering one’s skills, strengths, and values can be a transformative tool, empowering candidates to align their career paths with their authentic potential and long-term goals,” shared Bella. 

Our Global Talent Acquisition team is back with a few actionable tips to help you navigate your career journey: 

Tip 1: Know Your Strengths and Leverage Them 

Every successful career starts with self-awareness. Take time to identify your core strengths and skills and leverage them as the foundation for your career decisions. Whether it’s through assessments, feedback from peers, or personal reflection, having a clear understanding of what you excel at will guide you toward roles that play to your best qualities. 

💡 Keep a journal of your key accomplishments. This will not only track your growth but will also boost your confidence during interviews and performance reviews. 

Tip 2: Align Your Career with Your Values and Interests 

Understanding your values and interests is essential to making informed decisions about your career path. It helps guide you toward industries, roles, and organizations that reflect what truly matters to you. A career that aligns with your values is more fulfilling and sustainable in the long run.  

💡 Use a career coaching model like LIVE to explore: 

L - What do I love? 

I - What are my innate gifts and talents? 

V - What do I value most in my work? 

E - What environments help me thrive? 

Tip 3: Network with Purpose to Accelerate Your Growth 

Networking is more than meeting new people, it’s about building meaningful relationships that can accelerate your career growth. Attend industry events, join professional groups, and connect online with others in your field. Strong, genuine connections often lead to new opportunities, mentorship, and valuable career insights. 

💡 When networking, focus on how you can provide value to others, not just what you can gain. Building relationships on mutual respect and shared goals makes them stronger and more rewarding.
