I have some very exciting news. My book, Unserious Careers, will be coming out in February 2023. I am building a business alongside it to help young people be less serious and more adventurous with their career.

You can check out my new website and I have joined social media (finally!) so feel free to check that out too (links on the website).

This will be the last episode of Advice About Career Advice for now. I always wanted this show to be a resource that a parent could come to years from now and still find helpful. I may come back to it and add more episodes in the future.

I have a new podcast starting soon called Unserious Careers & Gap Years. Feel free to check it out and recommend to anyone who could benefit from it.

The best email address to contact me on now is: hey@unseriouscareers.com

Thanks so much for listening.

In this episode I share 2 stories of my parents telling me how proud they are. I discuss what this meant to me and why I want to encourage all parents to share the pride around! I also cover what to do in the not-so-proud moments. And to finish up, I have a chat about how pride can go in reverse: I'm proud of my Mum for dropping the occasional F-bomb after years of a no-swearing household!

Stepping into a job or workplace that you would like a future in can be daunting. I cover why the stakes can feel so much higher in your child's first strategic job as opposed to any of their previous jobs. As in the last episode, I discuss the why, when, who, what, where and how so that you can think a few steps ahead of a young person and be prepared for what's coming.
