Let's Make Job Search a Little Easier
Resumes, cover letters, portfolios, personal website, active LinkedIn, Interview process, technical interviews. There are so many things to think about when searching for a new job. Job search is never easy and sometimes feels outright crazy. You apply to 100s of jobs and hear back from a handful. It makes you wonder if you are doing something wrong. While there are a lot of things not in our control with the resume review and job application process we can optimize and improve the things that are within our control. In this episode let's discuss all the things that can be helpful when you are on the market for a new position. Helly and Meghna both have corporate jobs and have been in situations where they have applied to 100s of jobs. These suggestions are based on experience and learnings from the past. The episode gigs deeper into resume content, style, how to optimize it for different positions, interview process and more. Let's get that dream job!

Have you been called Bossy? Or do you get to be Assertive?
Gender roles have shaped our society in ways we don't even realize. Stereotypes and conditioning that most of us don't even realize we have can impact us and those around us in personal and professional environments. Ever wondered why there are more male leaders versus women? Or how the same emotion is associated differently for men versus women? Or even how there is a difference in perception and thus vocabulary to describe the same actions when taken by a man versus a woman? In this episode we discuss this in detail and some of our experiences in the past. Our findings have also been backed by research and we discuss that in this episode as well. If you have ever been told "to think like a man", "you are too emotional", "you won't make a good leader, you are too bossy!" then you are not alone! Men are told they strong, confident, ambitious, empathetic and assertive while women end up being told they are emotional, sensitive, selfish and bossy. Society and the conditioning we grow up with can make it seem like a strong woman is stepping out of what is familiar and thus must be wrong. Let's break these stereotypes, stand against them so we share our experiences and power lies in numbers!

Should we all be Networking?
Let's talk why there is so much buzz around the word Networking! What is Networking, why you should network and our take on different things you can get from building a network.

Women and Their Forgotten Contributions
This Women's History Month we discuss some of the contributions of women that have gone unnoticed. We talk about the workplace and how gender has played a big part in shaping our experiences and access to opportunities. All our lives women and men are associated with certain stereotypes and are accordingly assigned roles in our society. Most women have at one point or another experienced discrimination in their personal and professional lives. We share our experiences, our journey and what can we do today. Our education systems, household environments, society around all perpetuate these stereotypes and strengthen them. We talk about how to break these and how we should all get to define who we want to be and be our unapologetic selves.
