Career Information Gold

This podcast is so informative, engaging, and inspiring. I know it’s geared towards upcoming college/young professional age people but there is a WEALTH of knowledge here for any professional. Not only is it fascinating to learn about various career paths, but these episodes are full of so many nuggets of truth and encouragement for your personal journey. I have found these episodes to be an inspiration to my career and to how I can help shape and encourage others in theirs. Definitely sharing with everyone!!!

Where was this when I graduated college?!

When looking for a new job or trying to figure out “what to do with my life”, job descriptions and titles are the least helpful things! All fluff, no reality! This podcast is so helpful in getting past the surface level and into the day to day of specific careers so students, young professionals, or just anyone looking for a new role can better understand if a job could be the right fit for them. What an incredible resource!
