How to Explain a Short-Term Job Stint

Episode 46 | Host: Emilie Aries | Guest: Alexis Perrotta

We live in a world where women and people of color disproportionately experience microaggressions that can make a workplace toxic. Today’s caller is wondering how to explain her multiple short-term job stints that were due to toxic workplaces without bad-mouthing her past bosses.
