Summary
“People need to reassess what a “dream job” is...what you [really] have to know is what you want.” - Jerri DeVard AKA my Mom
In addition to being a fabulous mother and grandmother, my mom just so happens to have decades of experience at Fortune 100 companies as a senior marketing executive. And so for this episode, we sat down to discuss her career journey in corporate America (including her job at Revlon!), advocating for yourself in the workplace, finding a role where you’ll thrive, mentorship, and so much more.
