No College? No Problem! New Collar Jobs Offer Career Opportunities Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

Now Hiring: No degree required. A growing number of tech companies are looking to fill roles that require special skills, but not necessarily a college diploma. They’re being called “new collar” jobs. Now, some people who have worked hourly jobs like food service or retail are setting themselves on a new career track and many are getting paid to learn on the job. In this conversation from the WSJ Jobs Summit, Joanna Estanislao details her journey from working hospitality to a full-time role with Okta’s sales team. Bridgette Gray, Chief Customer Officer at Opportunity@Work, tells us about the multiple pathways from blue collar to new collar.

Age of Reinvention: How Seasoned Workers Can Add Spice to a Team Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Experience is usually a plus when looking for a job, but if you’re a more “seasoned” worker, subtle biases could stand in the way of landing the position you want. It’s called ageism: the belief that older employees aren’t as adaptable or desirable. But there are simple ways to position yourself so a hiring manager can see past the dates on your resume and instead see the skills you’ll bring to the job. At the WSJ Jobs Summit, Tess Vigeland spoke to Ginny Cheng, a career coach and Global Head of Talent at the wearable tech company Oura, about navigating the hiring process when you have a lot of experience and are rethinking your professional narrative. Plus, she answers audience questions on how to thrive in a multigenerational workforce.

Show Me the Money: Why Pay Transparency is Still Controversial Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Salary transparency has become a buzzword, from legislatures to social media, as a way to help improve pay equity in the workplace. But talking about how much we earn is still a no-go for many people. That is partly because the notion that we are “paid what we are worth” is so ingrained in our thinking. Today on the podcast, writer Victoria Walker talks about why she defied the taboo and shared her salary publicly. And sociologist Jake Rosenfeld explains why the “pay for performance” model is a myth and how it continues to impact workers. Plus: tips on how to improve the work world of endless meetings.

Show notes

After 11 years behind the mic at the business and economics show “Marketplace,” Tess Vigeland had reached the top of her game. That’s when she decided to leap. She left her job with no backup plan to travel across Southeast Asia with nothing but a suitcase, a backpack and a camera bag. Tess’ story took place years before the Great Resignation began. As she likes to say, she was a “quitter before quitting was cool.” It’s just one reason she’s diving into the changing workplace in "As We Work."
