Episode 38: Interview with Krista Semonelle

IN THIS EPISODE

My guest today is Krista Semonelle, a career changer and non-traditional student. She’s got some great tips to share about how she prepped for years – yes years! – before actually opening DICAS to get started on her application. She took all that time because she very intentionally kept her application in mind as soon as she knew it was part of her dietetics education. She’s got some very useful tips for you, no matter how much time you have before you start working on your own application.

In our discussion, you’ll hear how Krista used only the freebies available from Application Insider: the podcast, free downloads, and posts on Instagram. That’s exactly why I have created those things! Everything we talk about can be found in the show notes, so check there to make sure you’ve got all the resources that are available.

Here are some of the things we cover in this episode: 

1.    How Krista’s first career helped prepare her to change course to dietetics

2.  A trick Krista used to keep track of info, ideas, and resources she could use on her application

3.   Some tips for getting all you can out of program open houses

YOUR ACTION STEP

Start now. Stay confident. Stay organized. Know your worth.

Starting now will help you realize all the tasks that need to get done; giving yourself plenty of time to do it. Especially gathering specific things that particular programs may request from you. 

Don’t apply to a program because they might accept you, apply to a program because that is where you want to be. 

Thank you for sharing your experience, Krista!

With this Insider insight, your application is sure to stand out!
