Ever found yourself staring down the rabbit hole of job hunting, wondering what deal-breakers you won't budge on? Join Warren and CC this week as we spill the beans on the core principles that steer our job selection compass. Crack open the conversation with us as we reveal the red lines we simply won't cross, like micromanagement mayhem or companies with reputations that make your skin crawl. CC bravely shares the jitters surrounding maternity leave, especially with an employee engagement survey looming overhead. It's a no-holds-barred session on workplace non-negotiables that you can't afford to miss if you're navigating the job market.
Pull up a chair for a round of job transition tales that range from laughably bad to downright soul-crushing. Our banter on past gigs—like the water park with more drama than a daytime soap, to that manufacturing job with expectations as stable as a house of cards—will have you nodding in solidarity. Plus, we don't shy away from the delicate dance of airing out workplace grievances on social media; expect some eyebrow-raising anecdotes and a shared cringe over what can unfold. This chapter isn't just us rambling; it's a mirror to those all-too-common career quandaries we face, painted with a broad stroke of humor and hard-earned wisdom.
Capping off this rollercoaster chat, we put a magnifying glass over the glaring job red flags we've learned to recognize, and we're pulling back the curtain on the HR field's love affair with certifications. Is a SHRM badge the holy grail of expertise, or could a quick Google search trump a framed certificate? I candidly confess why those four letters no longer grace my LinkedIn—and it's a reveal that might just shake up how you view professional credentials. Whether you're contemplating the benefits of being certified or simply curious about the world of HR, this episode packs a punch with insights you didn't know you needed.
