  • Maximize Monday - Monica W

    Kicked off the new year with a returning guest, as fellow transitioned teacher, Monica W, joins me again to dive a little deeper into her move from the classroom into a role in sales development. We go more in depth this time discussing the overall preparation she did for her resume and interview, the research she did not just into the companies she was considering joining, but also the key terms she'd need to familiarize herself with to be ready to discuss how her skills are transferrable.
    And of course, we had some fun at the end and did a little more discussion about Disney World and how we get excited for upcoming trips.

  • Maximize Monday - DEI Discussion

    On the final episode of 2023, I'm joined by regular contributors, Tyrina and Cedric, to discuss what steps candidates can take to prioritize DEI in their job search efforts. We break down some of the questions candidates should be asking before, during, and after the interviews to ensure DEI efforts are a priority, what research they can be doing during their search to answer some of their questions themselves, and how they can continue to be a voice beyond acceptance of an offer.


    Special thanks to everyone who has watched and listened over the past year, it means a lot to myself and all guests that you've found value in what we have to say, and we look forward to building upon this in 2024.
