When you think about career development, you probably think about things like skill building, learning and development, or exploring different job paths. These things are important, but there's one skill that is often overlooked when it comes to getting where you want to be in your career: the art of building credibility.

There are two sides to every coin during the holidays: it can be great to see family and friends, but it can also be stressful to answer inevitable questions like "How's work?" or "How's the job hunt going?" We know the feeling.

Last week, we rolled out some big updates at Career Sandwich. We’re thankful to everyone who has checked it out, and we’re excited to continue building more tools to help you build the career you crave.

One of the things we hear often in our work is that people think they are the only ones experiencing something or feeling a certain way. We want to debunk this idea, so when we started putting together this week's Podcast and BLT, we thought we'd highlight some of the questions we've heard out in the wild lately.

We know: "Stay Organized" sounds like "no sh!t, Sherlock" advice. But when done really well, staying organized is the most effective way to never be caught off guard in your career.

Paid Time Off isn't all it's cracked up to be. This week, we dive into what's broken about PTO and our suggested solution to the chaos.
