Episode 176: How to survive in a competitive work environment...#WatsonCareerSkills
I’m “off” this week, so have decided to publish a short series of careers-related podcasts that will give you advice you probably won’t get from other “official” sources! I’m joined in this podcast by Ralph Hebgen (ex MD level research analyst at three investment banks) and Richard Hoskin (Founding partner of Elbrus Partners, a City Headhunting firm). My “normal” podcasts will be back from April 12th, so don’t worry! I just thought these ones would also be useful for you 👍
