Highlighting women who have turned their entrepreneurial dreams into reality, Kathryn Minshew founded the online platform called TheMuse.com that helps women find the job that's just right for them, unlike any other platform can.
Kathryn Minshew is the CEO & Founder of The Muse, a career platform used by over 70 million people to find jobs at companies whose people, benefits, and values align with their unique professional needs. Under her leadership The Muse has pioneered the concept of values-based job search and was recently named one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World. In 2022, Kathryn led The Muse's acquisition of Fairygodboss.com, the largest online career community for women. Fairygodboss serves over 10 million women with a supportive community, tactical advice, live and virtual events, and over 50,000 employee reviews on gender equity and womens' experience inside thousands of companies. Kathryn is the host of The Muse's podcast, The New Rules of Work, and her first book, “The New Rules of Work: The Muse Playbook for Navigating Your Career” (Crown Business, April 2017), was a Wall Street Journal national bestseller. She has spoken at MIT and Harvard, contributed to The Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review, and appeared on TODAY and CNN. In addition, Kathryn & The Muse have been named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 500, Marie Claire's The New Guard, SmartCEO's Future50 Visionary CEOs, New York on Tech's Disruptors and Innovators, Inc.'s 30 Under 35 and Female Founders 100, One Young World's Entrepreneur of the Year and many more.

Here is what to expect on this week's show: How female entrepreneurs face formidable challenges in Silicon Valley, navigating gender biases and stereotypes while establishing their businesses. Venture capitalists' emphasis on high-risk, high-reward investments pushes founders to grow rapidly, secure significant funding, and heavily invest in growth-related activities. Risk Tolerance and Investment Decisions: Founders should carefully consider their risk tolerance when making decisions about offers from investors. Some investors may push entrepreneurs to turn down offers with potentially high returns due to the risk involved. Learn the difference between Venture Capital vs. Private Equity and their pros and cons. Why founders must comprehend their company's potential outcomes in both favorable and challenging markets, guiding them to make well-informed decisions that match their risk tolerance. Why redefining personal definitions of success beyond financial milestones is important. Quotes: "The way people conceive of work and how it fits into their life has changed dramatically." – Kathryn Minshew "If you, as an employer, have this mindset that you're lucky just to be paid, you cannot get great people to do your job." – Kathryn Minshew "There's a lot of upside and a lot of downside to this approach [of venture capital]. The upside is they can take chances; they don't have to bet on a sure thing... The flip side... is that most investors would rather increase the chance of you being a billion-dollar company a little bit, even if it massively increases the chance of you going bankrupt." – Kathryn Minshew This episode is sponsored by Medjet.

How do you find a job abroad? Host Dylan Thuras discusses tactics for taking your career global with guests Kathryn Minshew, founder of international job board The Muse, and Katia Vlachos, an expat transition coach. They’ll cover how to ask your current employer about international opportunities, finding freelance gigs in a new country and more.
In this episode of Talking Talent, we’re talking about the next generation workforce. Joining us to talk about this is Kathryn Minshew, the CEO & Founder of The Muse, a career platform used by more than 75 million people to research companies and careers. In 2018, The Muse was named one of Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies in the World.
This week, Cory speaks to entrepreneur and author Kathryn Minshew, the founder and CEO of The Muse. The Muse is the fastest growing career discovery platform for 50+ million professionals a year and helps over 700 companies looking to hire talent and grow. Kathryn is also the co-author of “The New Rules of Work: The Modern Playbook for Navigating Your Career,” available on Amazon and other retailers. In the episode, Kathryn tells us about going from working in international relations to McKenzie and then in technology, gives tips and guidance on finding the right career path, how to approach employers the right way, and where job seekers go wrong. “I DIDN’T START THE MUSE BECAUSE I HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS, I STARTED IT BECAUSE I NEEDED THEM.” As the Founder and CEO of Founder of The Muse, Kathryn Minshew (@KMin) spends “every day making work more human.” The Muse is an online career resource that gives a behind-the-scenes look at opportunities and companies. “We believe that you can and should love your job—and be successful at it—and we want to help you make that happen.” Kathryn joined Cory Levy on OFF RCRD to talk about her journey as an entrepreneur and what she has learned about work and hiring. Kathryn didn’t always want to become an entrepreneur. “As I started to get to know people who worked in the startup sector who were building businesses from scratch, I just fell in love,” says Kathryn. At the age of 25, Kathryn, who originally planned on studying and working in international relations, started The Muse, which was her second company and has grown significantly over the past seven years. The company reaches around 50 million people a year in over 100 countries, and works with around 700 employers who are customers of The Muse. Their team now features around 125 full-time employees, mostly based out of New York City. Similar to her company, Kathryn has grown as well. “I have absolutely loved it (being an entrepreneur), but I think it surprised me how much I’ve had to learn about topics that I didn’t know anything about.” From raising venture capital (over $20M) to managing a large team of employees, Kathryn has had to pick up new skills throughout her journey, and has learned a lot about jobs and hiring through her own experiences as an employer. The New Rules of Work In mid-2018, Kathryn and The Muse co-founder Alex Cavoulacos published The New Rules of Work, which took the lessons they learned from years of running their company to give to millions of people across the country in a rule-like format. One of the surprises that came from writing this book, according to Kathryn, was what readers resonated with, which was the idea of starting with your values. “Most career advice; it has you start with ‘what do you think you want to do or what are you good at?’ We said, of course, that’s important but before that, what do you value? Is it flexibility, is it creativity and autonomy, is it compensation or prestige. There’s so many different things that a career can give you. What is it that you want, and that changes, right? Not only from person to person but it changes at different parts of your career. What you want straight out of college might be different than what we what you want five or 10 years later and that’s okay.” Kathryn and Cory also touched on mistakes that ruin many careers before they even start. “I’m constantly amazed by how many people will sometimes put at risk getting a job that they’re otherwise highly qualified for because of something small.” Kathryn stresses the importance of the basics like a strong handshake, looking people in the eye, knowing how to interview, and understanding the company. “Even if it’s just 15 minutes, brush up on the basics of applying to a job and interviewing,” says Kathryn.

The rules of work have changed over the last several years. You need to stay up to date on what's relevant so you aren't left behind and miss the next career opportunity. We were surprise when we went back and listened to this episode from 2017, when Joe sat down with Kathryn Minshew & Alex Cavoulacos, founders of TheMuse.com, to review what were then the new rules of business. Clearly, many still don't understand these. We find that these rules are just as relevant today as they were a few years ago, so we decided it was time to roll this episode again. Here is our original show description: Struggling at work? We'll review some of the "new rules" of business with the founders of TheMuse.com, Kathryn Minshew and Alex Cavoulacos. We'll talk about new rules in networking, finding the career you love, and working more effectively at the job you love. In our headline segment, Brian Barnes, CEO of M1Finance drops by to talk about tax planning. We know tax day was yesterday but these tips will help you make tax-smart moves while investing for the future. We'll also talk about another company being sued by an employee for rotten 401k options. Target date funds are again in the middle of some more controversy. Gena calls the Haven Life line to ask about the American Opportunity Credit, we share good news about recent guest Adam Dell and the Clarity app, and answer a letter from Ben about emerging markets investing. Is active investing the best way to go in smaller, more volatile markets? Of course, Doug brings down the trivia, and much, much more.
How can we make navigating careers much easier? Joining us on this special edition coverage recorded live from Nashville, Tenn., is Kathryn Minshew, founder & CEO at The Muse and author of “The New Rules of Work.” What is The Muse? And how can technology help us create better experiences — for both employers and employees?

Kathryn Minshew wanted to work for the CIA. But she ended up in Rwanda working on the HPV vaccine, then consulting for McKinsey & Company. Then she got involved with tech and discovered there were no online sites with actionable tips for managing your career. That’s when The Muse, a site that now attracts 75 million users, was born. Join CoveyClub founder, Lesley Jane Seymour, in discussion with Kathryn Minshew who discovered that helping others reinvent, helped her reinvent herself. “Everyone has to reinvent themselves today,” Kathryn says, noting that some of the highest engagement on the site comes from “intergenerational job searches.” She also points out, that if women 40+ are often dismissed as serious entrepreneurs, women in their 30s have the same fight. “When I started the company, I’d be in a room with three women and 100 men. I was treated as a flirting target, not a founder.”
As the founder + CEO of a company serving 75 million people worldwide, Kathryn shares her biggest leadership lessons around trusting your gut.

HR Happy Hour 341 - The Evolution of Talent Branding and Candidate Experience Sponsored by Virgin Pulse - www.virginpulse.com Host: Steve Boese Guest: Kathryn Minshew, The Muse This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Steve was joined by Kathryn Minshew, CEO and Founder of The Muse, a career platform used by over 50 million people to navigate their careers and by hundreds of companies looking to attract, hire and retain great talent. She’s also the author of "The New Rules of Work," a Wall Street Journal national bestseller. On the show, Kathryn discussed how candidates have become increasingly discerning in their careers, how they expect more and more authentic information from prospective employers, and how organizations can leverage new technology and media to deliver these talent brand messages and create better candidate experiences. Kathryn feels we are in the 3rd phase of the talent branding and candidate experience journey - where employers have to be specific, accurate, and use their 'real' people to tell the organization's stories and deliver an authentic message about how they experience their work environment. She also shared how some of the more effective employer attraction strategies have parallels to marketing - by sourcing great stories to share with prospective candidates, inserting more information and authenticity when interacting with candidates on sites like LinkedIn and email, and by making job descriptions more thoughtful and interesting to candidates. This was a great conversation, thanks to Kathryn for coming back on the show! Subscribe to the HR Happy Hour Show wherever you get your podcasts.

Kathryn Minshew, founder and CEO of career discovery platform The Muse talks about what it was like to start a company at the age of twenty-six. She shares how she overcame not one, not two, but over a hundred no's to get a yes from venture capitalists. All that with everyone refuting her innovative ideas. "There are certain core things that I know and that I believe and those are remarkably consistent." - Kathryn Minshew Three Things We Learned Out with tired, uninspired branding One of the reasons why Kathryn started The Muse was she wanted a solution to a prevailing problem in the market. People type into search engines a job role and pull thousands of results that more often than not offer no help in truly advancing their careers. This transactional process had her thinking about how a brand built to support career-seekers in starting and growing in a community could be more effective. Trying something radical is bound to be challenging While she was still starting out, Kathryn encountered countless well-intentioned rejections from experts and experienced business owners. Her job-and-content branding idea was dismissed as impractical, risky, and unprofitable. Undeterred, she stuck to what she believed in, maintaining that she had seen something beyond what conformists did for all the times they remained boxed. Sometimes trusting your gut feel is the only way to go To a certain degree, internal arguments can be resolved by rationales backed by data and evidence-based market research. But there are instances, few and far between, when it's time to make the call based on your instincts despite what observed trends say. Kathryn has had way too many experiences with this, and she has proven that sometimes faith in what we believe in is all that we need to move forward. Kathryn is testament to how feeling strongly about one's idea of navigating the world can be key to success. This applies to many aspects of the human life and not just business. An awareness of where you stand in the grand scheme of things and an unwavering mentality to be consistent with it can make all the difference. Bio: Kathryn is the Founder and CEO of The Muse, a career discovery platform that helps over 50+ million people a year in their career search, and helps over 700 companies looking to hire talent and grow their employer brand. Kathryn is also the co-author of “The New Rules of Work: The Modern Playbook for Navigating Your Career” (Crown Business, April 2017). What's more interesting that fake IDs are now Scannable and will pass ultraviolet light tests in 2021. Top fake id makers will accept Bitcoin for their purchases & ship your packages within a week time. Prior to founding The Muse, Kathryn worked on vaccine introduction in Rwanda and Malawi with the Clinton Health Access Initiative and previously worked as a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. When not at work, Kathryn is an avid globe-trotter and an adventurous cook.

Starting the career search process can be intimidating, especially since the first thing any job search website asks for is WHAT? Like you’re supposed to know what job title you want in the first place? When you don’t know what career path you want to take, the process is not only hard to get started, it can be paralyzing when you don’t have all of the answers. Just thinking about a career change causes stress, anxiety, frustration, and fear to rise inside many people because the majority feel stuck and unsure of what to do first. But, there’s a way to get unstuck. You have to be willing to change your mindset and approach your career change differently than you have before. If you’re willing to do that, all you need now it to make the time and energy to get you through the journey. Below, we’ve outlined tips from Kathryn Minshew, CEO and Co-Founder of The Muse, a career discovery platform that “puts the human at the center” and helps over 50+ million people a year in their career search. Now, pull out a notebook and let’s get you started down the right path to get you unstuck and find your new career path.
