Stacy's Career corner
This was a recurring segment on the podcast Another Round. I find that I recommend the workplace advice that Stacy-Marie Ishmael gives so frequently, that collecting all the segments in one spot started to sound like a good idea. So this is that.
Topics include: Raises, internships, cover letters, making mistakes, pay inequity, power, burnout, introverts, LinkedIn, toxic workplaces, feedback, being qualified for a job, advocating for yourself, and more.
All Another Round episodes can be found anywhere you listen to podcasts, like Spotify and Apple.
