In this episode I'm joined by career coach Neil Ewington who is the only other person on LinkedIn who I know is as passionate and crazy about job search and career coaching as I am!

It's a content-packed episode where we discuss all things career development, starting up a business, landing that big interview, and everything in between.

Neil's had a broad career in recruitment but started to fall out of love with it when he discovered career coaching and then decided to start his own business around this - especially working with people early on in their careers which was a very un-tapped market at that point.

This podcast episode is filled to the brim with take-home messages and gold dust advice for job seekers and those looking to start their own business. Enjoy!
