On this special bonus episode of the @Betches podcast, Jordana, Sami, and Aleen join moderator Ann Shoket (author and former editor-in-chief of Seventeen Magazine) live on stage from the WHH Empower Hour, presented by Heineken 0.0. They start with a conversation about the new definition of “work-life balance” and why it has become such a moving target. Plus, they offer some negotiating tips related to Jordana’s favorite topic, dating. Is finding the right job (and setting expectations) the same as finding a romantic partner? Next, they play a game of “Connected or Rejected” all about red flags when you’re applying for a new job. Finally, they close out the show with some questions from the audience and a pair of stories about cover letter mistakes and the worst interview they’ve ever witnessed.
