Loz is sharing practical tips on how to stay professional (even when you’ve got a baby babbling in the background), how to prioritise your time, and whether you should focus on volume or only go after dream roles. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the idea of job searching while navigating mum life, this episode’s got you covered with actionable advice.
