    Tessa West has seen lots of people in the wrong careers. Either the job has drifted from what they’d initially thought, or maybe they’re a leader at work, but they’re passed over for promotions or raises. There are many reasons why people feel the malaise of a job that doesn’t work anymore, but the effect is nearly always the same. What if the job that lights you up is actually out there? You need to know the tools to go find it. That’s what Tessa Woods gifts us on today’s show. You’ll learn how to throw off the ennui and find meaning at work by either rebooting your current career or finding a new job elsewhere. We’ll talk about how to engage in effective networking, how to assert yourself as a leader in your field, and why changing fields isn’t a bad idea – even if you’re an older worker.

The last type is, in West’s words, almost ​“clinically” an evil spirit, even more cleaver and intent on doing harm than the kiss up / kick downer, both of whom are united in feeling contempt for their victims on the job.
