Happy Hour Career Talk

It's hard to figure out when to earn, when to learn, and when to do something else entirely. This week, we share ideas on how to advance your career with and without changing roles or companies, as well as how to address that tricky issue of sharing your salary expectations before you've even interviewed. Tune in, it'll be fun!!

Ok, yes, we’re a little tipsy in this ep, but that makes it even more fun. This week is all about gathering some gosh-darn confidence baby! Time to stop beating yourself up and start bringing in the bacon. We talk about what to do if you're feeling the dreaded IMPOSTOR SYNDROME! We also discuss how to position yourself as leadership material, even if people don't see you as a manager right off the bat! Enjoy! Shownotes

This week’s episode is a delightful ramble-fest full of excellent and random resources, Netflix recommendations, and terrible reading-out-loud. We’ll cover how to make an impact in your workplace when you’re relatively low in the pecking order, and how to build a brand spanking new network. It’s gold, join us! Shownotes:

Everybody, Penny’s feeling a little un-fresh in this episode because it was her birthday picnic a few days ago and she still hasn’t really recovered. But luckily, as usual, we both have loads to talk about and share with you. We’ll chat about when it's a good idea to make your hobby your job and when you probably shouldn't, as well as how to quit a job the right way. Don’t forget to rate, review, subscribe and ENJOY!! Shownotes:

We’re thrilled to be back in Penny’s kitchen (for the last time, we promise) this time a little tipsy and loving life. Have you ever lost sleep fretting about office politics? And what even ARE office politics?! You’ll be thrilled to know that Penny thinks there could actually be a good side to the whole office gossip thing! And also...is there such things as being too pumped about a job interview?! This and much, much more. You can’t hold us down!  Show notes:

Sorry we're late this week peeps, it doesn't mean we don't adore you, but sometimes life gets in the way of your podcasting ambitions

Brittni’s drinking again and Penny is happy about it. In this fiery episode of Happy Hour, Brittni and Penny discuss how to say no to your boss, especially when you’re someone who always says yes.

This episode is packed full of actionable advice, podcast recommendations and books you should be reading! Don’t forget to rate and review the podcast, and more importantly, share it with your friends! Show Notes

One of us (we'll let you guess who) is skipping the drinks in this week's Happy Hour,  but that doesn't mean we didn't have fun! In this episode, we encourage a listener who is dealing with long-term unemployment, and give some practical advice on how to deal with those long hours at home. It's hard, we feel you Chris! We also receive a letter from someone using a fancy pseudonym to protect his anonymity....that's how famous we are ;) Richard (not his real name) is trying to figure out how the heck you can motivate and manage a colleague that is also your work BFF.  We've also been given some really lovely feedback on the podcast so far. Thank you, we love you and hope that we're helping y'all to feel fabulous about your careers!

In this Friday recording of Happy Hour, Brittni and Penny discuss (over Gin and Tonics) what to do if you find yourself crying at work. Can you recover from it? They also give some advice to a new grad who’s confused about what to do next. How do you deal with today’s job market and the feeling of being paralysed by choice? Look forward to some discussions around drunk shopping, working in the fashion industry and Brittni struggling to find the word “outlet” in her brain.  Show Notes:
