In the podcast we talk about what is going on with careers at the moment and try and reflect on how people should think about their careers if they want to both be happy and find their way to the good life. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of what I had to say draws pretty heavily on the book <a href=\"https:\/\/en.unipress.dk\/udgivelser\/c\/careers\/\">Careers<\/a> which I wrote with Rie Thomsen. In that we try and offer conversation starters and theoretically based ideas for a non-academic audience that wants to think more deeply about the idea of career. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, this is what we had to say in the podcast. I hope you enjoy it. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Finding or &#039;Building&#039; the Right Career \u2013 with Tristram Hooley\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gHA5eDQl3uk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I had the honour to talk to Jeevan Matharu the host of the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":394,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-500","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-podcasts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=500"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":501,"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/500\/revisions\/501"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=500"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=500"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/etabc.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=500"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
