In this episode, Mary Guiden added "Firework" by Katy Perry to the HigherEdJobs Playlist for your higher ed job search.

She found the lyrics inspiring while experiencing the ups and downs of a job search:

"If you only knew what the future holds / After a hurricane comes a rainbow / Maybe a reason why all the doors are closed / So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road."

Guiden is the associate director of editorial strategy, special projects at HigherEdJobs.
