The Origins of Career Contessa

Lauren McGoodwin launched Career Contessa in 2013 as a career resource and media education platform for women. She noticed a lack of support and resources specifically designed for millennial women in the workplace. Career Contessa has evolved over time to become a professional development hub offering career advice, podcasts, job listings, and online courses. The platform aims to help women navigate their careers and find success beyond the traditional one-size-fits-all approach.
