How to Not Stall Out in Your Career
Two new videos and a podcast are out that speak to different audiences for our bestselling book Job Moves: 9 Steps for Making Progress in Your Career (and if you haven’t gotten or gifted a copy yet, you can do so here!).
The first is a fast-paced, 10-minute talk detailing the 9 steps that I gave at the AI Show at the ASU+GSV Summit:
The second is a talk I gave at the Tugboat Institute, a community of Evergreen companies that are purpose-driven and stay private, profitable, and endure for generations. In it, I shared how companies can retain top talent when they understand the root causes for why employees quit:
Finally, Bob Moesta and I joined the Get Hired podcast with LinkedIn Editor Andrew Seaman.
We discussed how job seekers can take a more intentional approach to finding the right role. Instead of submitting application after application, we advocate for a process rooted in self-discovery and curiosity, designed to create better, longer-lasting career decisions. Plus, we offered some tips on how to conduct your own exit interview, how to actually use informational interviews to make progress in your job search, and more.
You can find the episode on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts.
Former Governor Dishes on Connecting Work and College
My friend and former Massachusetts Governor Jane Swift joined me and Jeff Selingo on Future U. to explore how to rebuild the broken college-to-career pipeline.
Now leading Education at Work, a nonprofit that provides work-based learning opportunities for undergraduates, Jane shared how her organization supports first-generation and Pell-eligible students with paid, career-relevant jobs during college. You also won’t want to miss the part where Jane dove into diagnosing the policy vacuum left by congressional inaction, the role of states in driving innovation, and where bipartisan opportunities still exist in connecting higher education to the workforce.
