Founder Created A Company To Help Women Navigate Their Careers

Founder Created A Company To Help Women Navigate Their Careers

This article makes interesting reading: 


When Lauren McGoodwin felt lost in her career she decided to learn about possible career paths by going on informational interviews with more than 30 acquaintances and strangers. The conversations helped her find clarity, and she landed a recruiting coordinator job at Hulu and learned how teams choose who to hire. Feeling lost helped her discover what she wanted to do next — create a company that helps other women navigate their careers. In 2013, McGoodwin launched Career Contessa, a company that gives women access to tools, advice, jobs and even mentors and people to meet for their own series of informational interviews.
