Lauren McGoodwin challenges the notion of the “dream job” and makes the case for pursuing the “good-enough” job. — YOU'LL LEARN — 1) Why the dream job actually doesn't exist 2) The true drivers of happiness at work 3) Why to become invaluable–not indispensable Subscribe or visit AwesomeAtYourJob.com/ep940 for clickable versions of the links below. — ABOUT LAUREN — Lauren founded Career Contessa in 2013 after experiencing a gap in career development resources for women who might be job searching, soul searching, leading and managing, or trying to find new ways to advance within their careers. With women accounting for more than 50% of the workforce and the workforce being less defined than ever before, it seemed crazy (and outdated) that a resource for us didn't exist. Fast-forward to today, Career Contessa is now the largest online career site built inclusively for women. Lauren is also author of Power Moves: How Women Can Pivot, Reboot, and Build a Career of Purpose (2020), co-host of The Career Contessa podcast, and an educator/speaker on a variety of career topics. Formerly, Lauren was a University Recruiter for Hulu focused on hiring, employer branding, and program management. Lauren has a Bachelors in Education from the University of Oregon and a Masters in Communication Management from the University of Southern California where she wrote her thesis on millennials and career resources. When not Contessa-ing, you can find Lauren spending time with her family in Redondo Beach, CA where she lives with her husband and daughter. • Book: Power Moves: How Women Can Pivot, Reboot, and Build a Career of Purpose • LinkedIn: Lauren McGoodwin • Podcast: Career Contessa • Website: LaurenMcGoodwin.com — RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE SHOW — • Book: Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear • Book: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown — THANK YOU SPONSORS! — • Wildhealth.

It's becoming more and more likely that a recession will hit sometime this year. For some, that might mean pay cuts, hiring freezes, or layoffs. How can you continue to develop your career during a less forgiving job market? Lauren McGoodwin, founder of career building site Career Contessa, joins us to discuss how to tell whether your company is struggling in the current economy, how to prepare if you suspect layoffs are coming, and what steps to take to make your job search successful.

She is the host of The Career Contessa Podcast, an educator, and the author of Power Moves: How Women Can Pivot, Reboot, and Build a Career of Purpose. Before Career Contessa, Lauren was a university recruiter for Hulu focused on hiring, employer branding, and program management.  Lauren has a bachelor's degree in education from the University of Oregon and a masters in communication management from the University of Southern California. In this episode… Even after achieving all the traditional prerequisites for success and having well-established careers, many women still feel lost and confused. So how can millennial women find purpose in their work or even pivot into new industries? How can they build meaningful careers on their terms? According to Lauren McGoodwin, the lack of career resources for women is the leading cause of their poor career development. Lauren faced many struggles that made her question her direction. It led her on a remarkable journey, helping solve the problems that women face in their careers. She launched Career Contessa out of her master's thesis project and then turned it into a website with actionable career advice and valuable resources. Now she shares how she helps millions of women from diverse backgrounds develop their careers and find fulfillment in their work.

The latest data shows job growth in the U.S. is still pretty strong – with more jobs available than there are people to fill them. But there are signs changes could be on the way, like more hiring freezes, layoffs, and possibly a long-anticipated recession. In some industries, layoffs have already begun.  How can both employees and employers prepare? Our guest today is Lauren McGoodwin. She's the CEO of Career Contessa, a career resource that helps women build successful and fulfilling careers. She's also the author of the best-selling career book “Power Moves” and the host of The Career Contessa Podcast. Lauren is sharing what job seekers can do to be as competitive as possible – even those not technically looking for a new job right now – how to respond to workplace trends in the new year, including so-called "quiet hiring,” and much more!

I'm so excited for this week's episode because I had the opportunity to interview a brilliant and knowledgeable gal that I've known in the online space for over a year now. Scout Sobel is the founder of Scout's Agency, and they've been the source of many of the amazing guests you've heard on my show. Scout has a long journey with mental health, and I'm so thankful that she's talking about the mental aspects of entrepreneurship and tips for self care. You can check out her new book here!     083: The Emotional Entrepreneur with Scout Sobel   Here's what we chat about in this episode:   Scout's journey of managing her bipolar disorder - medication, daily healing practices, mindset shifts, holistic healing measures, and mental health tools   How to feel safe in your emotions so that you can have a purposeful, meaningful, and fulfilling relationship with your life   Business:How to emotionally handle entrepreneurship - the mindset, perspective shifts, and roller coaster reality that comes with being an entrepreneur   Why and how every entrepreneur should be prioritizing their mental health   The secrets behind Scout's Agency: crafting an engaging pitch letter, the art of cold emailing, and scoring high profile clients and so much more.   Here's a little bit more about Scout Sobel:   Scout experienced her first depressive episode at the age of 14 and was formally diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 20. Living with a mental illness brought an onslaught of symptoms: anxiety, hypomania, depression, catatonia, psychosis, and suicidal ideation. Her perception of her life weighed down on her so poignantly that she dropped out of college, could not hold a job or internship, was hospitalized, experimented with medleys of prescription medication, and went through two outpatient programs.  One day her husband (then boyfriend) looked at her lovingly and said, “I don't care if you're depressed. If you are depressed and hopeful, I can be in this relationship. If you are depressed and hopeless, I can't do this with you.”  That was the moment her life changed. She started infusing her life with hope and began to take radical responsibility for her emotional state. And after intense self-development work - support groups, holistic healing modalities, prayer, routines, and physical wellness, she found entrepreneurship. Through entrepreneurship, she learned to unconditionally love her life through the pain, challenges, and celebrations. She learned that she wanted to be here.  Today, Scout is the Founder and CEO of Scout's Agency, a female-focused PR agency that specializes in getting women as guests on podcasts. Over the last two years, the agency has served women like Catt Sadler, Kelley Baker, Jessica Zweig, Damona Hoffman, Lauren McGoodwin, Bala, Kelley Baker, and Rebecca Minkoff. Scout led the agency to a six figure revenue in its first year (2019) with a 250% growth in 2020. She is also the co-host of Okay Sis, a top-charted podcast most recently highlighted in Apple's New & Noteworthy collection, with her sister Mady where she openly documents her experience living with bipolar disorder.   And now that she has gotten to a place where she feels safe in her emotions and is not able to only function in society but thrive as an entrepreneur, she is putting all of her emotional tools, learnings, and wisdom into her debut book, The Emotional Entrepreneur, a 25 lesson emotional guidebook for women who want to pursue a life of purpose. These are the personal development tools she has garnered up to manage her mental illness but what surprised her the most is that she realized her mental health tools also became her superpower in business.   The Emotional Entrepreneur launched this week and you can get your copy here!

Making the right career decisions - which company, what salary, how many hours, remote or office based, climb the ladder or do a job that isn't too demanding - and ensuring that it fits with everything else that matters to you in life is COMPLICATED! And it requires SKILLS! Skills you didn't learn at school. You'll learn: How do you negotiate a pay rise? How do you ask about maternity leave at a job interview? How can you express both that the work is important to you AND so is taking care of your parents/kids/dogs/golf handicap? Lauren McGoodwin is CEO and Founder of Career Contessa, a US-based recruitment site and a lot, lot more! She is the new face of recruitment - Lauren recognised that a woman's career search is hugely different than a man's. So, she built a service that reflects and embraces those differences. In this interview, we talk about: The gender pay gap between women and WOMEN; how women job search differently; and the importance of we, as women, having each other's backs. There are some surprising stats about that towards the end of the interview. Be sure to check out Career Contessa and have a look at their courses and articles for some great tips for getting the career you want.
