Reviews

4.6 out of 5 stars from 14 ratings
  • Informative, supportive and Inspirational

    Just started listening to this podcast recently. I have been freelancing in IT for 17 years and never experienced a market like this one. I have been out work for 6 months this year and 6 months last year. It’s great that you have addressed the unemployment issue because a lot of the self-help podcasts out there are aimed at those already in work. Great job Sabina keep up the good work.
