Shortcut Career Advice from The Company Doctor Surgery: Part 1 #40
What’s a doctor without his surgery? We asked you for some pressing, top-of-mind topics, and you certainly delivered.
Over the course of two special episodes, George takes the reins of the podcast and delivers Gary’s answers to your burning questions.
We’ll hear what separates average from exceptional, next steps if you don’t secure that anticipated promotion, and whether higher education carries the same weight that it once did.
The doctor will see you now…
Key takeaways from this episode:
- Me & We time is key to nailing WFH
- Have your goals in concrete, and plans in sand
- As a consultant, create the change to make yourself redundant
Jessica (Self-employed business coach, 2008 grad)
In this episode Ash talks to Jessica, a Nottingham alum who started university at 21 and now works for herself as a business coach. Jessica answers your questions and talks about her experiences with post-university careers, how she battled burnout and came to a realisation she wasn't expecting early on in her career and how this led to her working for herself to pursue a more flexible and healthy work/life balance.
Alice (Freelance journalist, 2008 grad)
Ash speaks to Alice, a Nottingham alum and freelance journalist about her route into journalism post university and how she managed to gain experience and make career moves while many media organisations were cutting jobs due to the global recession. Listen to Alice's advise for anyone trying to find experience and job opportunities in difficult sectors.
Chris & Louis (Bank strategy director & insurance loss adjuster, 2008/9 grads)
Ash talks with Chris and Louis about their time as students at Nottingham and how they approached finding graduate jobs amidst the global recession when recruitment was at an all-time low. They answer your questions about how they kept themselves motivated, found graduate roles and placements, and the role networking played in finding opportunities.
