Commentary by Scott Dobrowski and the Glassdoor Team<\/em><\/p>\n

Glassdoor has Olympic fever! From the U.S. to Dublin to London, we\u2019re all cheering on our respective teams, staying up late into the night to catch all the winning moments. So when word spread that a champion swimmer would be visiting our offices, excitement\u00a0hit a fever pitch.<\/p>\n

So who was this month\u2019s Speakers\u2019 Series keynote? Two-time Olympic medalist Christine Magnuson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With medals in hand, Magnuson took a break from the nail-biting excitement of watching her fellow swimmers take to the Olympic pool in Rio to visit Glassdoor\u2019s Mill Valley, California offices. Speaking to a packed room, the six-foot-one-inch phenom shared stories about everything from getting pep talks from Michael Phelps<\/strong>, being cheered on by Kobe Bryant<\/strong> at the Beijing Games, and, most importantly, what it takes to transition from athlete to 9-to-5er at a San Francisco consulting firm. (Hint: She used\u00a0Glassdoor<\/a>!)<\/p>\n

Kicking off the interview with Glassdoor\u2019s Director of Corporate Communications, Scott Dobroski<\/strong>, the 29-year-old Magnuson began by clearing up a few things. Unlike most Olympic athletes<\/a>, the Illinois native did not grow up with pictures of diver Greg Louganis<\/strong> on her wall and certainly didn\u2019t announce to her elementary school class that she had dreams of Olympic grandeur. In fact, it took several years for her to imagine the famous interlaced rings.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t the typical 8-year-old [swimming hopeful],\u201d said Magnuson. When people told her in as a teen that she could go to the Olympics her answer showed typical adolescent attitude, \u201cYou\u2019re nuts,\u201d she recalled saying, \u201cIt\u2019s not a sign-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, after focusing on swimming in high school then honing her skills at the University of Tennessee, a vision of standing on the winners\u2019 podium came into focus. Training twice a day, 30 hours a week and forgoing the typical splurges of a twenty-something gave her the chance she had been waiting for.<\/p>\n

But what about the pressure? All that nervousness? Nope, she had a plan to suppress jitters. How? A dash of blissful ignorance. \u201cMe and my coach did not talk about making the Olympic team,\u201d she said emphatically. \u201cI did not let it into my thought process. I went to Trials to have fun with my teammates, to put together a really good race. It set me up to win.\u201d And win she did.<\/p>\n

However, upon arriving at the Olympic Village in Beijing, China, there was no way she could ignore the magnitude of the moment. Surrounded by thousands of athletes from around the globe was, Magnuson said, a \u201cbubble of amazingness\u201d only made better by her fellow USA swimmers. Oh, and then there are those two silver medals she scored, one for the 100 butterfly and another as part of the 400 medley relay team.<\/p>\n

So after that, Magnuson\u2019s life was filled with job offers, endorsement deals, and non-stop partying, right? Not quite. Don\u2019t worry she did not experience a tragic fall from grace. Nevertheless, post-Olympic life was filled with \u201cdaunting\u201d decisions and somewhat of a quarter-life crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou find yourself asking, \u2018Do I go for another four? Do I transition out of my sport? How am I going to pay for everything?\u2019 Meanwhile, your family and your sponsors are pulling you in all sorts of directions. That first year is really hard. I decided to go for another four years, but there are moments that you are and there are other moments when you think it\u2019s so cool to travel the world and swim.\u201d<\/p>\n

While she aimed to swim at the 2012 Olympics, Magnuson fell short of qualifying for London by 0.05 seconds. A huge blow to both her ego and her support team, she \u201cwent dark\u201d for two weeks, not watching the sport she loved, but all the while crafting a post-swimming plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Olympics is such a high and then you come back,\u201d she recalled of the professional low point.<\/p>\n

Thanks to her \u201cteacher parents,\u201d Magnuson always had a firm grasp on the existence of \u201clife after swimming.\u201d In 2010, while still eyeing London, she went to the University of Arizona to get her Masters in Public Administration. Her backup plan was instantly activated once she recovered from the London let down, but she found herself facing yet another challenge: her resume.<\/p>\n

While many college students pursue internships in the summer and build up work experience, Magnuson didn\u2019t have much in the way of traditional professional experience. And as Dobroski mentioned, she couldn\u2019t simply bring her silver medals to a job interview and say, \u201cHire me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really hard because there is not an obvious translation between being an Olympic athlete, representing sponsors and [then] working in a 9-to-5. There was a learning curve.\u201d<\/p>\n

The key to translating her skills was networking with the vast community of other former professional athletes. Magnuson shared with the audience of Glassdoor employees that her first job after the Olympics was obtained through an existing contact, just like so many other job seekers who don\u2019t have Olympic medals to show for their lack of experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cGlassdoor was a big help for me researching the company culture and the reviews of companies<\/a>, so I could get more of an insight,\u201d admitted Magnuson, who was able to identify what companies were looking for and then prepare answers for how she could address interview questions<\/a> of culture fit. \u201cI also looked at what jobs were out there and what they pay<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the hour long chat between Dobroski and Magnuson continued, she revealed advice for how other athletes-turned-professionals could tackle big office challenges much like they would compete. After all, she can relate to what it\u2019s like to go from controlling eating, training, and split-second outcomes to an office environment where personalities and company fluctuations make things harder to control.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake your bigger goals and challenges, and break them down into pieces that you can control and set progress goals along the way,\u201d she says. When she was on her first Olympic team she remembers telling herself \u201c I don\u2019t want to be the weak spot on Team USA,\u201d and now as a sales client partner, she gives herself the same pep talk. \u201cI don\u2019t want to be the weak spot in my company.\u201d<\/p>\n

So what\u2019s next? Aside from texting Michael Phelps to clown him about his death face and swapping #PhelpsFace memes while watching the races, Magnuson is a lot like other almost-30-somethings still figuring it all out\u2014well, sorta.<\/p>\n

Traveling the globe as a motivational speaker and mentoring other former athletes on her outside-the-pool lifehacks, is far from normal. But her best advice can be applied to every job seeker and employee: \u201cYou don\u2019t need to win every day, just stay focused on the process and the end goal.\u201d<\/p>\n
