🎩 Polyworking: Why Commit to One Job When You Can Juggle A Few?
Polyworking, the latest trend in the workforce, is all about embracing multiple gigs at once, proving that in today’s economy, loyalty is overrated. Polyworkers diversify their skills, income streams, and opportunities. Because if you’re not stressed enough, just add another gig!
👔 CEOs Are Now Content Creators—And We’re Here for It
Running a company isn’t enough anymore; now, top execs are swapping boardroom banter for LinkedIn posts and selfies. CEO-generated posts have jumped 23% globally in the past year, pulling in four times the engagement of typical content. Who knew that climbing the corporate ladder would mean mastering hashtags?
📇 Your Old Contacts Are Bringing Sexy Back
Job seekers are giving LinkedIn a break and going old school, hitting up former colleagues, exes, and long-lost college buddies for opportunities. Because let’s face it—sometimes the best leads come with a side of nostalgia…and maybe a little drama.

O’Down the Rabbit Hole
This week I discovered a couple of new tools that I thought were pretty cool.
GummySearch helps you find, organize and search communities on Reddit in the most streamlined way. It’s perfect if you want to do less searching and more commenting. Plus, it’s FREE!
Since were on the topic of Poly this and Poly that, why not introduce Polywork! This one takes your Linkedin profile and turns into a personalized website for FREE! Definitely worth checking out if you’re trying to get a head start on personal branding.
Now, I’m not a YouTube creator but, VidIQ is kind of turning me on. They make it look super easy by providing the top trending video ideas in your niche and will even write the entire outline for you.
