Career Changing in your 20s
This podcast is about the ups and downs of career changing in the growth-filled decade of our 20s. New episodes Monday mornings!The amount of uncertainty and job instability from recent mass layoffs as well as increasingly more career choices to choose from can cause young professionals to feel “behind” or unsure of what their true passion is or if the path that they are on is the right one for them. But in these tough environments comes a lot of opportunities, flexibility, and the potential to take our careers and our lives in any direction we want. We talk about different philosophies and mindsets around careers and professional topics, such as how to overcome a recent layoff and how to choose a job based on your own definition of “success” and “happiness” rather than based on money, external validation, and/or purported prestige. Lastly, we will focus on guest speakers to talk about their own experiences navigating career discovery in their 20s to hear a wide variety of perspectives and lessons learned.For all contact and business inquiries, please email [email protected]Join Podchaser to...
