Emily's journey into talent acquisition was unique, starting with a marketing degree and exploring various career paths before finding her passion.-She talks about how talent acquisition often finds you rather than being a planned career choice, as there's no specific degree or specialization for it.-Key advice includes:1) The importance of trusting the process and being open to detours or side steps in one's career journey.2) The value of taking chances on candidates with potential, even if they don't meet all job requirements on paper.3) The need for talent acquisition professionals to educate organizational leaders on the benefits of developing talent and taking chances on promising individuals.Follow Emily Sheely on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emily-sheely-shrm-cp-200b06156/
