Propelling Careers Episode 30: A few more career concerns/questions we are hearing from talent as well as how to maintain motivation during your search


Listen Later

In our last episode, episode 29, we talked a bit about considerations people have as they evaluate career options. In this episode, we continue on this topic and talk about a few others including these below.  We also cover a few points on how to stay motivated in your search knowing all the decision points/considerations involved

in career choices. There can be roadblocks and barriers as you explore options and as you evaluate decisions and sometimes this leads people to have a fear of missing out which could paralyze their decision making.  Job searching can be mentally challenging - it is hard not hearing back, it is hard not getting an offer after going through interviews.  We hope this episode helps and that you enjoy listening!
