Taking Initiative with Product Developer Rachel Ben-David

Rachel Ben David is a qualified dietitian, nutritionist, and a communications professional who is currently working as a full time product developer at Coles Group. She is also the director and founder of The Nutrition Press, a student-run nutrition website.

In this bite, Rachel shares her story of finding Nutrition at a Monash and the benefits that come from learning about what you don’t enjoy. Additionally, she shares how the opportunities she encountered in her university life taught her some very valuable lessons. Rachel also gives a very honest personal review in the challenges and rewards of the workforce, from finding a job that fits to working in the areas of a small business and private practice. Furthermore, she gives hope in how initiative and persistence can lead you to where you want to be.

During the conversation, we discuss...

  • Challenges, and lessons learnt during university placements
  • Benefits of learning about areas of disinterest & the growth that follows
  • Starting her own personal project, The Nutrition Press from scratch and the space for making your own opportunities
  • How non-nutrition related qualifications can assist in the job search
  • Challenges and rewards of private practice work and in the small business sector
  • Realities of rejection and bouncing back
  • Her current role in Coles
  • The important considerations of choosing whether or not to do the Masters of Dietetics 
  • Why you have to understand and value your own self-worth
