Our podcast interview was cut short and we were not able to discuss career advice. Nonetheless, Jonathan's Medium blog is a gold mine for career seekers and people interested in the world of insights. In this specific blog entry (link below), Jonathan compiled a comprehensive list of questions "for early career applicants to ask themselves while they go through the job discovery process." These are some quality soul searching topics... From my review, I really believe that knowing the answer to these questions will help boost your self-confidence and differentiate yourself from other candidates. Link below:
