Description
Are you trying to find the right career? Do you torture yourself with questions like, "what am I going to do with my life?!" I know I have, and I also know that it can get overwhelming, but have no fear, I’ve got your back. Believe me (but believe more in yourself) when I tell you that you don’t have to end up with a miserable job. The truth is that you may not even know what kind of job you would like or where to start. Maybe you do know or have an interest in a particular job but would like to know more about it before committing to that career path. If any of this resonates with you, then you’re in the right place. In this podcast, I interview professionals from all kinds of careers to get the inside scoop on their job (i.e., what the job entails and how to land it). I ask these professionals questions like, “what exactly do you do, is it exciting or serious work, is there work/life balance, how much do you make, how do you get an interview, and what should you wear if you do? That’s what I do here. I share insider knowledge on a variety of careers to help you make a better decision when it comes to choosing the right career for you – plus I share some fundamental tools, tips, and advice to help you navigate the job hunt.
