In this episode, Jim and Lauren provide advice for how to let things go so that you can get out of your own way during your career search. We decided to do this episode since many things can lead to candidates getting in their own way such as fear of the unknown, fear of rejection, fear of being an imposter/not being good enough, lack of control, fear of not being “ready”, fear of closing doors/opportunities, not having a process, and more. We cover points including these below. We hope you find this episode helpful and that you enjoy listening!
Lauren Celano, CEO of Propel Careers and Jim Gould, the Director for Postdoctoral Affairs at Harvard Medical School, launched this podcast as a way for us to share our advice, insights, and reflections to help others navigate their careers.
As we develop new episodes, this podcast will provide insights regarding career advice to help listeners navigate career choices and become more confident in their decisions. We look forward to busting myths and providing real life, timely, and accurate advice. Jim and Lauren work heavily with Ph.D. trained scientists, but the advice we provide can be applicable to other audiences. We hope you enjoy listening!
