Episode 40: Why You Are Resistant to Networking


In this episode of 'Careers at the End of the World', host Jenn Walker Wall returns post-election to discuss the importance of relationships and networking in career development during turbulent times. Jenn acknowledges the emotional exhaustion many are feeling and stresses the importance of mission-driven professionals supporting each other. She emphasizes the value of maintaining a strong resume in collaboration with a strong relational strategy. She also addresses common networking resistance, offers options for "asks", and encourages making networking a regular practice rather than a last-minute effort. Future episodes will focus on developing a professional ecosystem.
