Welcome to the HIGHER! Career Podcast everyone. A show full of
wicked stories from the job market and brilliant guest experts
showing us how to succeed in it. Because we've all been there
haven't we? It's time to get unstuck and make our dream careers
happen. Let's go get it! -- With Nikki Symmons and Tom Zamzow
This show is all about exploring ways to navigate one's career
with ease and how the seemingly secret language of the job market
is not one we have to each learn by ourselves through painstaking
experience. Whether you are concerned about recruitment and
finding a job, interviewing like a champion or getting that
promotion in your current job, we are sure that we have an
episode or two in our collection that can help you out.
Every episode is driven by industry experts and business leaders
from a wide range of fields. Entrepreneurship, corporate and the
private sector, marketing and creative agencies, the World Wide
Fund For Nature, media, you name it.
Not only do you get to know these industries better in case you
want to start your career in them, or do a career
transition/change towards them. You also get to learn from these
experts how they have navigated their own careers and became
successful. Our show is less about philosophy than it is about
real-world, practical ways in which you can have that dream
career for yourself. There are no one-size fits all solutions, we
don't believe in the kind of platitudes you will find on social
media. Start your own unique engine, find your power and values
and enable them to bring them to work with you and forge the
dream career for yourself.
This means overcoming the 'my manager hates me' trap. This means
being brave, vocal and present, even if you don't feel like or
your energy profile is rather introverted than extroverted. This
means learning how to say no in your job. This means leading
teams and realising that you will only ever be as good as the
people you manage and develop. This means gaining the
presentation skills you need. This means learning when to leave a
job, and how to leave a job. And then: how to either get a new
job or start your own business. This means mastering social media
and setting up your LinkedIn profile in a way that serves your
entire career.
Nikki Symmons and Tom Zamzow created this show with two goals in
mind. On the surface level, they have come to realise that all of
us go through the same tough school of language learning. The
language they speak of is the language of the job market and
career development. It's a tough school, and it takes years to
figure out how to be fluent in it. They endeavour to shorten this
time period for you out there, make it easier for you to have a
job, career or calling that you like and love. Which leads us to
the second goal:
Nikki and Tom want you to step up as leaders, and they want you
to do it now. You see, they believe in careers as part of life,
not just a 9-5 that you have to do. They believe in careers that
can have a positive impact on the world. They believe in everyone
finding their values, what they believe in, feel passionate
about, and are willing to fight for. More than ever before,
ordinary folk like us have the power to make real change happen.
And not just in our personal lives. Showing up at work as a vocal
advocate for one's values bears the potential to change companies
from within. And in turn have companies invest their substantial
resources to become better corporate citizens and make the world
a better place. Nikki and Tom frequently talk about diversity,
equity and inclusion, bring as many diverse guests as possible,
and show their audience how careers in environmental
sustainability can be incredibly exciting.
Why listen to Nikki and Tom? Because they have changed their own
careers more frequently than you can count to do just what they
are advocating for on this show: do not feel trapped in your job.
Our values, motivations and reasons to get up in the morning
change over time. And retaining the flexibility of mind, heart,
CV (how to write a CV), motivation letter and skillset to brave
these exciting changes effortlessly.
So have a listen, have a laugh, learn a little and let's go get
it!
Nikki and Tom
