The Career Bloom Podcast
Career advice with a little Southern sass and zero corporate fluff.
The Career Bloom Podcast is where twelve years in HR meets real talk and a strong cup of coffee. Host Lauren Deats has sat on both sides of the hiring table, and she's here to tell you what actually happens after you hit submit. The good, the cringe, and the stuff nobody says out loud.
Every week she's breaking down the job search, the interview room, the offer, and the messy middle of building a career you don't dread. One week it's how to quit tanking your own interviews. The next it's what hiring managers really think when they read your résumé. Whether you're job hunting, pivoting, climbing, or running the team that's doing the hiring, pull up a chair. There's something here for you.
You'll get a Horror Story of the Week you'll feel in your bones, a Listener Mailbag where your questions get answered straight, and a Tip of the Week you can actually use before the weekend.
New episodes every Thursday.
Ready to stop guessing and get a real plan? Book a free thirty-minute consult at careerbloomsolutions.com/free-consultations. Résumés, career, or interviews. You bring the mess, we'll sort it out together.
Bless your heart, you're going to be just fine.
