A woman may have one of the longest CVs in the world after having worked 23 jobs in 23 years of her life.
Anastasia Cecchetto, who is based in London, is on her 23rd job after setting up her own business, Ace Influencers, making her a CEO before she turned 23.
"To begin with I was a baker, it was very difficult - I had to stand in the freezer a lot. I was 16 and I was completely inexperienced, I messed up so much that they put me on the till," she was quoted as saying by Mirror.
She said, "I've learned so much from every single one of them, the harder jobs like dishwasher and waitress have taught me discipline and I respect the people who do these jobs. There's a lot of pressure for people to decide what they want to do quickly - but I just went for what was right at the time and I got experience on the way."
By the time she turned 18, Anastasia had been a baker, supermarket cashier, waitress, sales worker, dishwasher, piano teacher and market seller.
She said that she "was a terrible employee but never got fired in my life" because "I always left just before I was."
She tried her hands at being an event organiser which was "sometimes quite fun" but not for her, so she quit. She then sold ice cream at a zoo in Amsterdam. "Too cold for my liking. Getting free entrance to the zoo was quite cool though," she said.
She worked as a retail worker and even tried acting, modelling and babysitting.
Speaking four languages, English, Russian, Dutch, and Italian, Anastasia then became a translator and a photography store worker until she quit in 2021.
Anastasia then took the role of a personal trainer. Around the same time, she also tried being a barista at a vegan show. "Who knew making latte art is so heard?" she said.
She then tried her hand at social media management. "I can’t believe I landed a senior job at the time. I used loads of Google, YouTube and other resources to get good at this job. This job taught me a lot," she said.
Anastasia then became a content writer, an SEO specialist, a freelance social media manager, and an online personal trainer. "I loved this business, but I outgrew it. It taught me a lot about running a business, but I was ready to move on to something bigger".
She was also the creative director for a luxury hotel. Though it was a "great job", it wasn't her cup of tea as she wanted to be her own boss.
"Maybe people get stuck because they're so far into something, it can be difficult for people to step away. You have to follow your heart I guess, if you feel that something isn't for you don't be afraid to try something else - don't be afraid to follow your dreams," she said.
Anastasia often landed jobs she was not qualified for but she learned on the job and researched how to do things.
"Through doing all these jobs I realised what was important to me was having freedom and being able to get real results, and that can be a challenge when you work for a corporate company," she said.
Anastasia eventually decided to start her own marketing agency and now works with influencers globally.
"I feel like I've finally found my calling, I'm really happy where I'm at. I might change my mind, but at the moment I'm happy," she said.
