JobTok: Level Up with Career Growth and Job Hunt Tips From High Achievers

You've contributed good ideas in meetings. You've taken on new projects. You even volunteered to take that weirdly quiet new guy for a drink - and man was that a boring evening.

So you've been in the same role for years now and it's getting to be a bore. But your manager doesn't trust you to do a bigger job and neither are they willing to let you move to something else because now you're too critical to the team.

Picture this. You are in a Zoom meeting with your team members and have a point to make. You keep unmuting to get a word in but others are monopolising the conversation and you never really get a chance. And then the meeting ends with all your words of wisdom unsaid.

In this short episode we share some quick and easy tactics that you can use to stand out - so you are never interrupted again!
