The wait is over! The Career Growth Podcast is back with a ✨FRESH✨ season of industry insights, sneak peeks and insider info into anything and everything revolving around the professional world!

If it was a year ago, we could probably say that AI has struck up the way we work, like lightning ⚡️, but the truth is a year later, AI has settled in, altering everyday operations and activities across all industries.

In this era of change and evolution, it does pose a concern that AI is speeding up too fast and an age-old question of whether this change is positively impacting the nature of jobs in creating better opportunities.

As the new season’s greetings, we’re excited to have invited Andre Howson, Writer and Creative Director, who’s traversed long in the industry as a creative writer and as a managing director of various media.

Andre walks us through his insights regarding the implementation and commonality of AI, and what it means on the larger scale to the future of jobs and the expansion of industries.

It's the last episode of the season, and we're ending with a bang! 

Social media has become a staple part of most of our lives, like bread, to feed us with the information we're yearning for, whether it's the new Taylor Swift album announcement or a crazy conspiracy theory you're hooked into.

But with the ever-changing usage of social media and a plethora of new platforms spawning every month, it's a big question as to where social media is headed and what purpose would it serve in the future. It's a bit deep, but we're going deeper and more unhinged with this episode.

We're excited to invite our very own Social Media Manager, Angel Zhou, to share her honest thoughts on the future of social media, and her take on burning online questions on the journey of social media.

We're all influenced by the impalpable connection between gaining early career experience and raking in years of experience to get better outcomes at work.

And it's not our fault. Many modern companies claim to seek 'beginner-level' professionals but look for 3-4 years of experience among these beginners.

It's difficult to break the cycle and pursue different work industries, weigh in multiple options, and take an exploratory route with your early career over sticking to one role and progressing from there right from the start.

But we're excited to speak with Beatrice A. Cord, Global Partnerships Lead at Endeavor and somebody who's traversed through many career routes such as marketing, public diplomacy, sustainable development, youth leadership, and more.

Beatrice recounts her experience exploring different career choices, entrepreneurship, and the perspective of not limiting oneself to one choice.

Well, the POV of an interview you're most aware of is from the candidate's perspective, as to what and how to speak to recruiters to get that job secured.

But what exactly goes on in the mind of a recruiter?

In every interview, recruiters have their inklings and beliefs that get shaped right from the first impressions to what they analyse during the interview. Mostly, these invisible factors influence their decision over whatever a candidate may be on paper.

We're excited to welcome Caroline Cooke, Founder & Managing Director of Cornhill Consultancy to share her thoughts and insights into the behind-the-scenes of what goes on in the mind of a recruiter at each interview.

Ah, the world of sales! Can’t bear it, can’t live without it.

Have you ever wondered who sets the 'set rules' of a workplace? Ever found yourself baffled by certain workplace quirks?

Everything from dress codes to corporate jargon wildly differs depending on each company. Some organisations take themselves too seriously, and some of them just stress the important things that matter.

In this current workplace climate, we're taking a look at 'modern normality', where we judge workplace scenarios found on Reddit, and determine whether they are acceptable or not under present conditions.

We're pleased to welcome back Nan Dondashe, Senior Recruitment Specialist at Capital Placement, to join our host to go over multiple Reddit stories and opine about weird workplace occurrences.

An interview is a session of impeccable judgement. You're judged on the way you talk, sit, sound and more.

Like it or not, this goes a very long way into how they assess you for the role in question.

While on one side of the spectrum, you can take measures to be presentable and come prepared, on the other side some things that might not be obvious to you but would be for the recruiters can come off as off-putting or undesirable in a potential candidate.

To delve into the topic, we're excited to have welcomed Vinay Vimalan, CEO at Capital Placement, and Mandri Hettiarachchi, Global Partnerships Manager at Capital Placement. They are here to share their biggest hiring icks and worst instances during interviews that immediately come off wrong.

2024 has been a wild ride so far!

This year has already been bringing in monumental changes, right from the way of workplace changes to working strategies.

Marketing is also one such field that is constantly expanding and evolving to find its ground in the wake of modern work. From the same industry that keeps a check on social media trends, algorithm preferences, and the importance of different content types, we have more in store to analyse by looking at 2024 so far.

We're excited to welcome back Chloe Simms, Marketing Manager of Ripple, to walk us through the latest buzz in the marketing sector, what is kept at the pedestal right now.

Content creators are divided by their drives, inspirations, references, styles and much more. But they are united by a global expanse of creative minds.

As the art of creativity and content generation takes new shapes and iterations in the current generation, we're looking at what the future holds for content creators, and how new professionals can equip themselves to be on the better side of the rapid changes.

To speak more about the topic, we're excited to have invited Michelle Vincent, CEO of Mofilm, and Anisha Madzounian, Director of Strategic Operations at Mofilm, to give us their take on the evolution and rising possibilities in the area of content creation.
