💡Why you should be considering your lifestyle goals, personal preferences, and timing when it comes to lateral moves

💡How soon you should be having career development conversations in your new role, and why you should always be nurturing your network, updating your resume, and investing in your personal brand

💡When taking a lateral move may not be in your best interest (spoiler alert, this one's all about mindset)

Deciding to (or not to) take a lateral career move is 100% personal.

What have been deciding factors for you in taking (or not taking) a lateral move?

Episode 34

Tuesday, September 28, 2021 • Duration 01:07:45

Who better to answer questions about the hiring process than the ones tasked with doing the hiring!

We go DEEP in this episode and Ashlyn gives us REAL answers to questions like: Where is all the hate towards recruiters stemming from? What don't candidates know about the inner workings of the talent acquisition process? Should someone reach out to a recruiter on LinkedIn if they are interested in a job at their company? How can a candidate "beat" the dreaded Applicant Tracking System (you may be verrrryyy surprised to hear Ashlyn's answer to this) We also talk about DEI and mental health in the workplace, and how to make sure your next company is one that can provide a safe place to be authentically you.
