I have discovered podcasts and incorporated them I my daily/weekly routine about a year ago and I have, since, been obsessed with them. First, it makes my commute feel productive (i.e. I am not wasting my time on Instagram) and also enjoyable to the point that I am looking forward to getting out the house, putting my AirPods on and […]
Questions to ask at an interview
With many graduates jumping out into the job search adventure, but also with young professionals who are having a change of heart in terms of company, industry, position, in mind or just looking for the next challenge, I wanted to take a blog post to talk about job interviews and especially questions to ask at an interview. Chances are that […]
How to get comfortable with presenting
How to present well in public is probably one of the most googled questions out there. And let’s face it, presenting in front of an audience (be it bigger or smaller) can be nerve-wracking. Okay, let me correct it, it is nerve-wracking – at least for most people. Add to that the fact that you might be an introvert and […]
Weekly Reads – April 29
Lately I feel like I am living for the weekend only. Work has got me “overworked”, from never-ending client commitments to internal initiatives all over the place, I feel like I am running in circles. Maybe it’s spring mode or maybe it’s the post-restructuring era but it definitely gets me consumed. I don’t mean to bring negativity to the table, […]
Own Your Narrative – Build your Reputation at Work
Owning your narrative at work is one of the most underrated ideas out there. We tend to think that if we work hard enough we will eventually “get what we deserve and what we have worked so hard for” even if we sit quietly and just keep working, but life is simply not as straightforward as this. The idea is that […]
Weekly Reads – March 4
What a week – Europe was freezing and everyone around got sick but since work was very busy and hectic, the week pretty much flew by. The most noteworthy thing is probably the fact that The Career Edit is now as official as it gets. I finally got a domain and switched from Wix to WordPress, so this is serious […]
My 5 Go-To Career Websites
Ever since I started working, I’ve been on the look for useful – yet hopefully beautifully designed – websites or blogs that offer real career advice and real career stories. Needless to say, I simply despise all these trashy websites built with the sole purpose of monetizing, and that just share articles like “5 tips to … “. While they are great for lost […]

Below is a selection of five wonderful websites where you can get […]

This week has been crazy busy in terms of work, so thank God for Valentine’s Day, chocolate and sushi to help us survive throughout the week. So without further due, below are my picks for the week. It’s all in the details. At least when it comes to desk decor. I love every single desk decor piece listed in this […]
Weekly Reads – February 11
Remember last week I was talking about how it’s time to get life matters in order, deal with paperwork, set appointments and all the administrative hassle that comes/accumulates with a new year? Well, this week I really lived up to my words and completed about 75% of that work in one day. Pretty impressive, I know. This means that except for […]

This week has marked the start of February, which means that 2018 is really rolling and it’s time to set and plan all the things that need to happen: doctors appointments, tax matters, document fixing… everything needs to be planned or get done asap (pretty much what I was saying I was going to do three weeks ago, courtesy of Twenty […]
Business and Working Tips that I Swear By
Working for a couple of years already, I have learned a few things that have helped me along the way, and that I thought I would share. I have had two full time jobs and in both of them I was in the fast track for promotions. I am naturally a very responsible person and generally inclined to do the right thing […]
Weekly Reads – January 28

Sometimes, life seems fairly easy so below are my weekly picks. Mindful twenties. You need to watch this TED Talk by Meg Jay on why how you set up your life […]

So being reminded of how important enjoying life and the little things is, here are my weekly picks. Family time is important – as we grow […]
