<description><![CDATA[Hello all,

I've had a bit of a dilema over the past few months.  I recently graduated with a Master's in Industrial/Organizational Psychology.  I was most interested in OD and want to eventually be in a consultant role. The problem I'm facing is that while completing my degree I earned all of my work experience as a technical support analyst.  Considering most job postings I see ask for 3-5 years work experience in a related field, what would be the best way to overcome this hurdle?  If it's starting at an entry level, what would be the best launch pad for a career as an OD consultant?

Thank you for your time!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Greetings!</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Welcome students or consultants who are currently exploring OD or transitioning to the field from other professions! As you may have discovered, this work is as diverse as the number and types of issues organizations and their members face. In order to help you better navigate your journey consider the following questions:</span></p>
<ul>
    <li class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">What’s your ideal work and are you doing it now? Is the work you're&nbsp;</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">doing ‘meaningful’ to you? If not, why not?</span></li>
    <li class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">What additional skills or resources do you need to do the work you want to do? How will you&nbsp;<span>approach your need(s)</span>?</span></li>
    <li class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">Who supports you in this work and what support do you need?</span></li>
</ul>
<p class=""><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">When we realize others are thinking or feeling the same way we do, the journey becomes easier.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style="color: rgb(0, 32, 96);">We welcome your thoughts. Please respond to these questions so that learn from each other. &nbsp;</span></p>
