Careering Podcast
Welcome to the Careering Podcast - a collection of rants and reckons covering all things career, work and life as a woman living in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Hosted by author and creator of Careering9, Melissa Davies, and her partner in career crime, Kelsie Inglis, the fortnightly episodes cover everything from negotiating a pay rise and defining success to sleeping with your colleagues. If you’re brave enough, take a seat. Sometimes we’ll be wrong, sometimes we’ll be right but we’ll deliver it with the confidence and a touch of colourful language so at least it will be entertaining. Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, follow us on all the socials @careering9 or visit careering9.com for more.
