I had dreams of moving out west to write for television or movies, but life steered me in a different direction.<\/div>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #c70e0e\"><b>What is your career now?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>I am currently a buy-side transaction coordinator for The Dauby Team, a large real estate team through Keller Williams Capital Realty in southern Indiana.<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #c70e0e\"><strong>What led you to your current career?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>I graduated from Ball State in only two and a half years, so I was quickly thrown back into the &#8220;real world&#8221; without a straightforward plan of what to do next. I ended up moving back home and began interning at my local Habitat for Humanity nonprofit. After a couple of months, I was hired on at Habitat full time as the communications manager and worked there for a little over two years. I was ready to make a career change in 2020 and found the Dauby Team was hiring for a transaction coordinator. I wasn&#8217;t sure if this was something that I wanted to do because I didn&#8217;t think it was a &#8220;writer&#8217;s&#8221; job. But I&#8217;d recently purchased my own home and my brother is an agent so I was familiar with the\u00a0real estate world, and I quickly fell in love with my job.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I have a wonderful team that encourages me daily and I love helping buyers purchase their dream home. This wasn&#8217;t something I ever imagined myself doing, but I&#8217;m so grateful for where I am at this time. I can&#8217;t say what the future might hold, but I&#8217;m very happy with what I&#8217;m doing and the skills I&#8217;m learning along the way.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #c70e0e\"><b>What does a typical week in your position look like?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>Once our team&#8217;s agents have buyers under contract on a home, I take over the transaction from there. I manage anywhere from 15-50 transactions at a time (depending on the state of the market), which includes frequent communication with buyers, lenders, listing agents, title companies, inspectors, etc. I talk with clients on the phone regularly and maintain a lot of business through email. I assist buyers in setting up home inspections, stay up to date with the lender on the\u00a0progress of the loan, and set up closing when the time comes. I help input information into our databases and manage files for all the buy-side transactions. Every week I&#8217;m making phone calls, sending emails, organizing files, and more.<\/div>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #c70e0e\"><b>What<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #c70e0e\"><b> are the most valuable skills you learned in your major?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>Majoring in English has helped me become a much more effective communicator. My job requires both verbal and written communication and because of what I learned through my degree I am proficient in both.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>My major also helped me become much more comfortable with feedback and constructive criticism and this comes up in any career as you are learning and navigating the position. I pay close attention to detail when auditing legal documents pertaining to each transaction and this also comes from my background as an English major.<\/div>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #c70e0e\"><b>How are the skills you learned as an English student relevant to your career and life today?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>Because I am a writer at heart, most of my emails go in-depth and I often &#8220;over-explain&#8221; things. I believe that it&#8217;s always better to over-communicate than to under-communicate, and because I have an inclination to write, I end up providing a bunch of information that other people might just leave out. My correspondences are often filled with detail and personality instead of just flat, one-line responses and I&#8217;m sure this flourish comes from my background as a writer.<\/div>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #c70e0e\"><b>What is your advice to other Humanities students?<\/b><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Don&#8217;t limit yourself to what you can do just because you&#8217;re an English major. Some outsiders might think your only options are either becoming an English teacher or best-selling novelist when in reality there are so many careers where you can thrive because of your unique skillsets. I was once told that if you can write and speak well, you can do pretty much anything. Hang onto your talents and your passions, but also don&#8217;t feel defeated if you find yourself landing in a completely different field.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div><em>You can connect with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kate-carnahan-387719136\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kate on LinkedIn<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><em><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">For more information about the<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\"> Department of English, visit <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun ContextualSpellingAndGrammarErrorV2 SCXW175184709 BCX0\">our<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/english\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">website<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">, contact\u00a0<\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bsu.edu\/academics\/collegesanddepartments\/english\/connect-with-us\/faculty-staff\">office<\/a><\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0or<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0follow us on<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bsuenglishdepartment\/\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Facebook<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bsuenglish\/\"><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\">Instagram<\/span><\/span><\/a><span class=\"TextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\">, and <\/span><\/span><span class=\"TextRun Underlined SCXW175184709 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW175184709 BCX0\" data-ccp-charstyle=\"Hyperlink\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bsuenglish\/\">Twitter <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/em>and read more about previous <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bsu.edu\/csh\/category\/alumni\/cardinal-directions\/\">Cardinal Directions<\/a> posts!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kate Carnahan graduated from Ball State University in 2017 with a bachelor&#8217;s degree in English.
