In this episode I’m joined by Marissa Bastian, who works in the education sector and previously served as the Director of Tutoring at Nichols College.
Marissa shares her career path and offers a candid look at her recent experience going through a layoff and job search. We spend time discussing practical, real-world advice for navigating uncertainty, staying organized during a job search, and approaching the process with intention and resilience.
This episode is especially valuable for students and early career professionals interested in education, ed tech, student support roles, or anyone who wants honest insight into the job search process.
