Episode Description
What messages did you hear about the world of work growing up? Were they about happiness, money, stability, or something else? Our family of origin has a large influence on what we see as career options and how we choose our career path. Likewise, our current family or other sphere of influence likely determines how we feel about our career and what we consider as our options. In this episode of The Career Confidante, host Marie Zimenoff welcomes career development expert Ellen Weaver Paquette. Ellen will help you unpack the past experiences and emotions connected to your family’s dream for your career and how you might be influencing the career decisions of those around you. Listen in if you want to dig deeper into what you consider as your career options and where they come from or if you want to help break down patterns for yourself or others in your life.
The Career Confidante

In the past decade, theories about how we would all need to be “free agents,” in charge of our own career trajectory, have become reality. While there is a good deal of talk about this new reality, little tangible direction exists about how to thrive, not just survive, in this new workforce.

She will share the inside scoop on hiring trends, explain how to earn a promotion, and explore what hiring managers are saying across a variety of industries.
Mondays at 3 PM Pacific on VoiceAmerica Business, Marie will provide a featured topic, interview national leaders and review the latest career management tools. You will benefit from a weekly Get Career Smart(tm) tip and featured job of the week, in addition to practical strategies in branding, career transition, advancement, job search, resumes, interviewing, and social media.
