Land Your Dream Job / My Interview With Career Coach Nic Frick

Interview with Stephanie Fonda of More and Merrier

“The pandemic has disrupted the careers of so many people the world over, but women in particular have been hit hard.  Whether you’re looking to get back into the workforce after a hiatus spent caring for family, navigating the choppy waters of resume building and interviewing after a layoff or seeking a position that leaves you fulfilled instead of burnt out, read on for valuable insights from my interview with career coach Nic Frick.  

We met where all meetings happen these days- on Zoom.  She is streaming from her home in San Francisco, and I from my desk in the Seattle suburb of Mercer Island. We talked about the baby to toddler transition and how her newly bipedal (she started walking during our call!) 1 year old daughter has basically become a teenager.  

“Where’s she going?  Like, she has stuff to do now.” 

We talked about the importance of values driven careers, confidence building and surrounding yourself with community.  Nic offered valuable advice and resources to get past the biggest challenge women face when switching careers or getting back into the workforce, and why now is the best time to make lasting change in your work life.

We kicked off our interview with a discussion on Mom guilt, which I know so many of us can relate to, and how Nic felt that burden lessened because she loves what she does and her daughter is happily spending her days at daycare…’
