Clock In with Emily Durham

The job market is changing, so what are employers ACTUALLY looking for?

This week, I'm joined by Becca Mintz, President of Capital One Canada, to get an inside look at what it takes to stand out in today's job market.

We're talking about what hiring managers want to see, how AI is changing the workplace, why soft skills matter more than ever, and how to set yourself up for long-term career success. Plus, how to find an employer that doesn't just hire you, but actually invests in your growth.

Whether you're a new grad, looking for your next opportunity, or just trying to figure out how to stay competitive, this conversation is for you!

Why are we still treating going to work sick like it's some kind of accomplishment? Today we're talking about sick day guilt, why so many of us feel responsible for keeping the office running when we're unwell, and the research on working while sick. Plus, why working from home doesn't mean you should be working through an illness, and why your company's staffing problems are not your personal responsibility.

I know… me being positive about a company? But I figured it’s important for us to know what is absolutely necessary to look for in our next jobs and even in our current one.

The internet loves to romanticize quitting your job, betting on yourself and figuring it out as you go. Respectfully, some of us have bills.

In this episode of Clock In, we’re talking about how to become self-employed when you are deeply, spiritually risk-averse. I’m breaking down how I made the jump from a traditional career to working for myself, the financial and career safety nets I’d put in place before leaving a paycheque, and how to test whether your business can actually support you before you need it to.

Because working for yourself doesn’t have to mean risking everything. You can be ambitious, cautious and a little anxious about money — and still build something of your own.

During this episode's WWED, Emily and Maria discuss themes of domestic violence and aggravated assault. Should you choose not to listen, skip 31:35- 40:02. Please take care.

Should you quit the job? Ask for more money? Speak up? Take the promotion you don’t feel ready for? Start the side hustle? Or sit your ass down and enjoy your direct deposit?

Career advice LOVES telling us to “take the risk” and “bet on yourself”... but not every career risk is actually worth taking.

In this episode of Clock In, we’re breaking down how to tell the difference between a calculated risk and a reckless one. We’re talking about the career risks that can actually pay off, the ones that probably aren’t worth it, how to assess what you really have to lose, and how to build yourself a safety net BEFORE you make the leap.

Because sometimes playing it safe is the risky decision. And sometimes… playing it safe is just smart.
