"Elisa Gibson - Creative Director - National Geographic Books" S3E56 Biz-eWerk Podcast

How many times have you picked up a book and thought, "It must have taken a lot of work to produce this." My guess is... never. Books are ubiquitous and, honestly, essentially taken for granted. But every book is the result of an extensive creative process, from idea to finished product, that brings together many skilled individuals. Our guest today, Elisa Gibson, is the Creative Director for National Geographic Books, and she explains how this process results in the detailed, informative, and visually stunning books we've come to know and appreciate from NatGeo.

50th Episode - NewSpace Age! That's not a typo. We've been living in the Space Age for nigh on 70 years. Why does it still crop up in advertising? From the "Old" Space Age of Apollo and the Space Shuttle to the NewSpace Age of SpaceX, Blue Origin, and more, it's time to think about how the NewSpace Age will usher in changes to technology that science fiction could only dream of.

“Go Ahead and Work from Anywhere. Just Watch Out for..." Biz-eWerk Podcast S3E49

“Go Ahead and Work from Anywhere. Just Watch Out for..." Biz-eWerk Podcast S3E49

Thinking of being a Digital Nomad for work? A recent Wall Street Journal article by Callum Borchers offers some cautionary advice. "Work From Anywhere! (Well, Not Really) Tax snafus, legal headaches—and now, killjoy bosses. The digital-nomad lifestyle is full of complications for workers and their employers."

During the pandemic, when some jobs were moving online, there was some discussion that it would be permanent. You had people moving to other parts of the country, maybe for a less expensive cost of living, and working remotely. And not surprisingly, they liked it. The freedom, the ability to be almost anywhere you wanted to be as long as there was a laptop and internet connection. But like anything else that sounds great initially, there can be a downside. In this episode of Biz-eWerk, we'll cover the possible complications of nomadic work life.

"Tell Me About a Time You Failed" Biz-eWerk Podcast S2E42

"Tell Me About a Time You Failed" Biz-eWerk Podcast S2E42

"Tell me about a time you failed." It's a question I flubbed in an interview a few years back, and there's no reason for you to make the same mistake. Consider this question an opportunity to admit that sometimes you're not as successful as you'd like to be, and you can recognize the failure, learn from the failure, and improve as a result. But there's a catch - don't get caught up in the storyline - Get to the "what I learned from this" part ASAP. Check out this episode of Biz-eWerk for suggestions on how to master this standard (and scary) interview question.

"Final Questions in the Interview, Part III" Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E39

"Final Questions in the Interview, Part III" Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E39

Final questions in an interview are very much a part of the interview – a crucial part. I dare say interviews are made, and broken, at this point. In my interview experience, one opportunity was supported by my end-of-interview questions, and another opportunity was lost. In this episode, I'll tell you one question to absolutely avoid, but more importantly, how to craft questions that will demonstrate your suitability for the role.

Jun 30, 202208:60
"Final Questions in the Interview, Part II" Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E38

"Final Questions in the Interview, Part II" Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E38

Questions at the end of the interview - It's a critical element in any successful interview. I always recommend 3 to 5 prepared questions that I can use at the end of the interview when they ask, “Do you have any questions for us?” Prepared questions are important, but the best questions are questions you’ve created from the interview. Sometimes it’s something you want to be clarified, sometimes it’s a follow-up to a specific question they asked. In this episode, Biz-eWerk talks about how you can craft questions during the interview that will dazzle and amaze the interviewer (or interview panel) with how well you were paying attention and, more importantly, thinking ahead.

Jun 14, 202206:05
"Final Questions in the Interview, Part I" Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E37

"Final Questions in the Interview, Part I" Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E37

"Do you have any questions for us?" This is a critical point in the interview. The interview is NOT over. Always ask questions because not asking questions is a red flag. Take this opportunity to leave the interviewers with a great impression of your thoughtfulness, preparation, and how you match the position. In this episode, “Could you please describe the performance review process?”

“Stop Using To Whom It May Concern” Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E36

“Stop Using To Whom It May Concern” Biz-eWerk FastCast S2E36

The cover letter is important – we’ve established that in previous episodes. To maximize its value, it needs to be addressed to someone specific. In a pinch, I’ve used “Dear Hiring Manager” in the greeting, but that’s not optimal. In this FastCast, Biz-eWerk urges you to STOP USING “TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN” for cover letters. The “whom” you are hoping “may be concerned” isn’t a real person. Unless you want your letter to be seen, read, and evaluated by No One, start addressing the letter to a Real Person. Most of the time, a simple internet search will yield all kinds of relevant contacts both for your letter and also for building your network.

How do you start a business? It’s an age-old question we include in the catch-all “entrepreneurship.” But entrepreneurship has so many moving parts, that it’s too daunting for most people to even get started. In this episode, Kristina Wright (CofC ’18) talks about how she went from employee to entrepreneur very quickly after graduation, and her journey thus far as CEO of SimplyWright, LLC.
