We are big fans of semi-passive learning that will get you thinking and make you a better candidate for future opportunities (think: following companies and industry leaders on social media or signing up for newsletters that come into your inbox). Podcasts fit the bill!
Stay informed, eavesdrop on chitchat among industry influencers, and get entertained all while working out or doing laundry. The insight you’ll gain may bring clarity to your personal goals, or make for impressive conversation when you do an informational chat or interview for a position. There are literally hundreds of podcasts that might appeal to you based on work/life topics, self-improvement, or industry-specifics. Get started with these and subscribe at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you listen to podcasts.
