Description
‘Knowing me, Knowing UKSG’ is a brand new podcast exploring career journeys in scholarly communications sector. In each episode we will be having an informal conversation with someone inspiring from the knowledge community and ask them to tell us about their career journey and what has motivated them along the way.
The podcast will shine a light on how varied the sector is and how there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to managing your career. Career journeys are often ‘squiggly’ and can include setbacks. The podcast will also explore common issues such as imposter syndrome and share advice on how to maximise opportunities when they are presented.
