Episode 28 - Why are you really finding job hunting so overwhelming?
In this episode, I talk about job hunting and why so many of the women I work with feel overwhelmed by it. This can be for many reasons and it's not uncommon. Especially if you are juggling lots of things in your life including being a parent and working full-time. Or if you are job hunting whilst in a stressful or unhealthy work environment and the last thing you want to do is the job hunt.
So in this episode, I go through some clear reasons why you may be overwhelmed and then talk about some of the things you could be doing to stop this overwhelm.

Episode 23 - Do qualifications matter in your career?
In this episode, I talk about qualifications, if they matter and are important. This is a question I have been asked a fair bit and thought it may benefit you as listeners. Especially because many women who want to change their careers question their decision around qualifications.
This episode may also be relevant to women who want an additional professional qualification to advance or progress their careers. I feel this is an important episode to listen to if you overthinking the need for a qualification or not prepared to do an additional one what is stopping you?
To find out more please listen to the episode it would be great to know what you think about this topic too. If you have any thoughts please email me at soma@somghosh.com
