012 - Mentorship On-Demand: Answering Listener Questions | Various Guests

This month is special as it rounds off one full year of the SWACUHO Podcast. To celebrate, we are answering listener questions. Four people wrote in over the course of the year asking for advice. Along the way, I've recorded various guests answering these questions. For dedicated listeners, you will recognize every voice today as a repeat guest. 

Today we are responding to the following topics:

• The value of completing seemingly inconsequential daily reports even if nobody ever follows up when they don't get done.
• Whether you should apply as an internal candidate despite projected awkwardness.
• How to respond when a supervisor takes the blame in a very public way for a mistake that was solely yours.
• What to do when everyone on an interview panel always defers to you when the candidate asks "how does your department support Professionals of Color?".

Thanks for your continued listenership over the past year! It's been a fun ride so far. Make sure to share the podcast with others if you think they will get value from it.
