BEST OF: Lindsey Pollak: Early Career Success & The Future Workplace- NYT Bestselling Author

First Aired: 5/14/21

Lindsey Pollak is a New York Times bestselling author and one of the world’s leading career and workplace experts. She specializes in early career success, which stems back to her time back in college, where she worked as an RA who fell in love with helping provide guidance and brainstorm solutions with her peers. Lindsay is great at unpacking the people problems that come with the career journey, and her recently published book "Recalculating: Navigate Your Career Through the Changing World of Work" takes on the many problems that have arisen as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

This Episode’s Heavy-Hitters:

- Lindsay and I each have the same Peanut M&M obsession that friends & family judge us for

- Each of her books is a direct reflection of the book that she wishes had been available to her five years earlier

- Millennials in the workforce are more focused on increasing the size of the pie as opposed to beating the competition; and this shift might be causing some tension between them and the competition-centric Baby Boomer generation.

- The preparation for in-person and online interviewing is completely different, so be sure not to just “wing it” just because it’s an online interview

- Always keep building your network and list of contacts, not just because it unlocks immense value, but because it’s fun to collaborate and stay in contact with people you have things in common with!
