Kari Reston is the Founder and Chief Executive of Boredom to Boardroom, where she shares honest advice as well as secrets from HR and the corporate world to help her subscribers find work and build successful careers. As both a senior HR executive and a manager myself, I dealt with tons of interns, new grads, and experienced employees – hiring, firing, promoting, and everything in between. What frustrates me is seeing so many people, lots who have amazing educations too, totally struggle when it comes to finding a job and then navigating work! I know it’s tough. I’ve been there – applying for millions of roles, stressing over interviews, offers, and work permits even. Eventually, I got a great job and worked my way up. I made mistakes along the way, and learned a lot in the process. My goal now is to help more people succeed – finding jobs, getting promoted, earning $$$, and enjoying it at the same time.
