Solid Career Advice

Been listening to this podcast for a few years now and always come back to it when I’m starting to feel like I’m in a rut. They do a great job with interviewing people with real-world challenges and are honest about what to expect.

Just bought the book since I’d like to have a hard copy to reference so I can outline what’s really important for my career path.

kcat_22 ,

Definitely worth it!

I came across this podcast a few months back, and was hooked! As a career professional, I’m always on the lookout for high-quality podcasts that I can share with my clients and colleagues…this one made the list! The topics and conversations are engaging and relevant, and a great space for new learning and validation. I highly recommend!!
