Ritika Saraswat's Linkedin Analytics

My story: I remember struggling to find opportunities coming from a non-traditional educational background. Applying to hundreds of roles wasn't working, and all I would receive are job rejections. Does this sound like you in your career? 😮 My name is Ritika, and I am a creator, speaker founder, writer and a consultant. I graduated with a Bachelors of Kinesiology from UBC but irrespective of my background in science, I've always strived to work in the top consulting companies and hopefully enable others from non-target schools to do the same. I've had the opportunity to work with multiple startups, non-profits and other companies and seeing thousands of other students hoping to do the same, I wanna help. This is the reason why I post content on this platform. My goal is "to raise awareness about students specifically international students from non-traditional backgrounds and help them transform into winners". There is this quote that my mom says "Keep striving, keep challenging yourself and keep growing because when the desire to develop diminishes, that's when an individual has failed" 🏆 My Highlights: 🙏🏻 Founded a non-profit, called Re-Defined at the age of 21.
