In the Know (Jan 2022 - Part 1)
Evening - Mary here! Happy new year from the Now You’re Talking Network! Hopefully, it is not too late to say that... I hope you are having an amazing 2022 already.
To me, stepping into your career confidence is all about recognising your strengths and skills and therefore, knowing what is for you and what isn’t. It is about removing the anxiety from your job, exhibited by overexerting yourself at work for the sake of being liked. A career confident woman knows her worth. So with that, this edition is all about career confidence so it is jam-packed with resources to help you get the most out of the network, find a new job or negotiate your current salary. Enjoy!
