    Ep9, S1: How to Seek Out Answers For and About Yourself

    At some point we’ve all had doubts about the path we’ve started ourselves on. Be it classes, applying for numerous internships or jobs, as well as the work itself, sometimes it takes a village just to keep yourself straight. And, frankly, that is ok! This week, Alex Crispino, Purpose Activation Manager at PwC, joins the podcast to chat about how she got to this point in her career. As a student, she envisioned a career in public relations, working on social media for brands. Months after graduation, though, she didn’t have that job, let alone one in PR. Alex’s path may not have led her into public relations, but brought her much more. In the episode you’ll hear: - If you should be comparing yourself to your friends and/or fellow students? - Why it’s important to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. - Staying open to ideas and challenges - How you can better understand the things that make you tick and be successful. If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we’d love to hear about it and get your biggest takeaway.

    Your career is about to take off. The feeling of excitement and anticipation is bubbling inside of you. It may be a place you’ve always wanted to work, where the people have the same drive you do. Maybe it’s a different city, where the pay is really good. All of these things are great, until you hit that inevitable bump. It could be a boss, certain co-workers, or just the work itself. We have all heard stories of workplace bullies, toxic work environments and culture. If you’re a young pro or even an experienced one, how can you face these pains and not feel like the walls are closing in?

She has been a freelance graphic designer for the last six years, is also a sessional instructor at OCAD University.
