We know it’s no cakewalk when you’re searching for your next role. It’s time-consuming, stressful, and riddled with anxiety. There is a veritable cornucopia of articles, blog posts, and thought pieces about all of those aspects. What I’d like to focus on is authenticity with respect to ye olde job search.
When I consider applying to a job posting, I look at the company’s website. I want to see what their customer-facing stance on diversity is. I want to know they value authenticity and encourage their people to bring their whole, authentic selves to work. The reason for this is perfectly illustrated by a recent discussion.
