In this episode, I will talk about LinkedIn and why it’s a necessary part of your job-hunting journey. I talk about some specific reasons why you need to be using it especially because technology is now a key part of our career development. I also spoke about LinkedIn in season 1 of the podcast in episode 9 and why an up to date profile was important. This episode is a follow on from that and a more in-depth episode around LinkedIn.

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.
