I consider \u201cJaun\u0101 Teika\u201d as my little child. Soon I realized being an office manager was too boring, so I started assisting colleagues in various tasks. Unexpectedly I received a chance to try out a job in the medical field.\u00a0<strong class=\"nu gx\">I was curious enough to accept it.<\/strong>\u00a0I explored roles in operating rooms and laboratory settings, learning extensively along the way. Later, I decided to embrace new challenges and try my luck in the IT sector, so I quit my job.<\/p><div class=\"nf ng fl nh bh ni\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><div class=\"mw mx pq\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:640\/format:webp\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:720\/format:webp\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:750\/format:webp\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:786\/format:webp\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 786w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:828\/format:webp\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 828w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:1100\/format:webp\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 1100w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:1400\/format:webp\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 1400w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:640\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:720\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 720w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:750\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:786\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 786w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:828\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 828w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:1100\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 1100w, https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:1400\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(min-resolution: 4dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 4) and (max-width: 700px) 50vw, (min-resolution: 3dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 67vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 3) and (max-width: 700px) 65vw, (min-resolution: 2.5dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2.5) and (max-width: 700px) 80vw, (min-resolution: 2dppx) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) and (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" data-testid=\"og\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bh md nj c aligncenter\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"https:\/\/miro.medium.com\/v2\/resize:fit:700\/1*UKNYNwN6YEVE3XkbOkpWBw.jpeg\" alt=\"Ilze Maurere, Key Account Manager at AmberCell Solutions\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/picture><\/div><\/div><p class=\"mz na nb nc nd ne mw mx paragraph-image\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Daily life of working in operating rooms, 2020<\/em><\/p><p id=\"c144\" class=\"op oq gw bf or os ot hw ou ov ow hz ox oy oz pa pb pc pd pe pf pg ph pi pj pk bk\"><strong class=\"am\">It\u2019s fascinating how your career path evolved.

I have these big ambitions, but sometimes I\u2019m not sure where to channel them. But you know what\u2019s great? Embracing the uncertainty. When you don\u2019t know what you want to do, you can jump in different projects, try many new things. You just have to accept this. So instead of sitting around and worrying, just do something, just give it a shot. And you know what? It\u2019s been amazing.

Initially, I wasn\u2019t interested in working in either field anymore. However, one recruiter insisted that \u201cno\u201d wasn\u2019t an option.
