Work with Marty Nemko: 10/25/15: Workovers

Despite the ostensibly low unemployment rate, many people are struggling to find and keep decent work. 

On the Oct 25, 2015 edition of Work with Marty Nemko, I devote the entire hour to Workovers: Whatever career conundrum is besetting you or someone you care about, I usually can help. I intersperse my favorite new career tips. For example, I'm planning to offer tips on choosing a college, ways to tweak rather than radically change your career, and the art of vetting an employer, which is key to being happier on your next job.

Work with Marty Nemko is heard every Sunday from 11 AM to noon here on 91.7 FM or here at KALW.org. It's then available for download on the NPR site and iTunes, as well as, in perpetuity, here at KALW.org.
