Diversity in the workplace
If you're a person of color or otherwise marginalized employee, you probably don't need reminding that not all workplaces treat employees equitably. Listen to this episode on how to survive and thrive in mostly-white spaces if you're struggling to cope at your job. To start, journalist Alan Henry suggests keeping a work diary, and learning how to manage your boss.
If you're a leader looking to make some changes where you work, we've got an episode all about how to take diversity beyond the hiring process.
Answering Your Career Questions
Career strategist Cynthia Pong joined Life Kit for a Reddit AMA to answer questions from listeners about everything from making a career switch to sharing salary information. Read the discussion here.
Time to call it quits?
It happens. If you've reached the breaking point at your current job, learn how to quit well. Work It Daily founder J.T. O'Donnell says, if you can, it's best to run toward a goal, not away from a bad job situation. To do that, she recommends getting a financial plan in place first. Make sure to leave behind a positive legacy that you can lean on for future employment.
Changing careers
Have you been dreaming about making the jump, but just don't know where to start? Start with this podcast. The episode will brief you on the tools you need to make the switch, and will remind you: life experience counts as experience. Don't sell yourself short.
