Description

Getting to where you want to be in your career is not always as linear as we might think. Not everyone picks one career path and sticks to it for the rest of their lives, and lots of people are confused about what they want out of their career. 

Career Crossroads is on a mission to help people realize that being confused is okay - it happens to more people than you think! Host Jonathan Collaton talks to people with winding career paths, hears about the best advice career counsellors and career coaches and guidance counsellors give their clients and students, and talks to students who have changed their trajectory by modifying their academic plans.

If you're stuck at a crossroads or work with people who are struggling with their own crossroads, this podcast is for you.
