S1 Ep 10: Why is a dietitian working in life insurance? with Simone Abley

The Pantry Party

Today we have the pleasure of talking to great friend Simone Abley. Sim holds a Bachelor of Nutrition and Dietetics and provides a positive reality check for new grad dietitians. We talk about why Sim went into dietetics in the first place; the ins-and-outs of having allied health professionals in the insurance industry; how your university course probably won’t prepare you for your first job (and why that’s okay to some degree); the societal expectations of what a dietitian does, how that limits us, and why that ties into a need for better advocacy skills. We also discuss plenty of advice for new grad dietitians facing the intimidating employment world, being willing to learn and be inquisitive as you go, and. the importance of taking time off after uni.
