Happy Hour Career Talk

This week we are going to **attempt** to make the extremely boring topic of resumes FUN. We'll leave it up to you to decide if we made it work or not! Spoiler: everything we do is fun. And we are dead serious about that. 

OMG. Our first guest on Happy Hour. We talk to Chris about everything, and we mean EVERYTHING. At one point he even suggests that we've unraveled years of therapy. We're sorry, but not actually because the conversation is too good. We talk about being an introvert, what it actually means to be creative and how to get Chris Do to hire you. Join us for our first interview! Show Notes:

We are SO lucky this week because Brittni has agreed to share her knowledge about social media. The things to keep in mind, the things to avoid, and her overall approach to the big scary world of social! Thanks Britt! ✏️Teaching as a mechanism for deepening your knowledge

This week, we’re very excited to bring you the crib sheet from a workshop we ran recently! The job market is getting more and more competitive, so it’s super important that you’re able to define and showcase the value that you can bring to a company or client. Join us to get a clearer idea of how to pitch yourself to client, employer, or investor on this week’s ep!! ✏️ Brittni is working on defining her offering as a freelancer

Penny gives herself some advice and Brittni's gone freelance! Plus, you know when you're in an interview or just started a new job and have the thought, "was that a red flag or am I just being dramatic?!" This week, we talk all about what we like to watch out for in the application process, during an interview and in the early days of a new job! Happy listening! Show Notes:

Brittni hates Lieferando and Penny ain't making you a cup of tea! But also......here's some flipping great info on how to approach selling your services if you don't have a background in sales. It's a red-hot episode. Join us!

We've all been in the situation where morale is down, motivation has gone out the window and achieving results from your team is a million miles away. Whether you are a manager or not, there will be times where you need to pull your colleagues out of the preverbal gutter. This week we talk all about what to do when everyone you work with seems to be down in the dumps.  Show Notes:
