Welcome to Job Title

“So, what do you do?” How often is this the second or third questions we ask when meeting or catching up with someone? Jobs are a big part of who we are and the start of conversations we have, but it usually doesn’t get into more detail than that. On Job Title, we explore the jobs you wanted as a kid, the ones you didn’t even know existed, and everything in between. Heidi@jobtitlepodcast.com
