For our 50th episode of the Open To Work Podcast, we’re doing something special.I’m joined by my wife — Mrs. Parker — for an honest conversation about what it’s really like to support someone through a job search.
From the moment I was made redundant, through the highs, lows, and uncertainty, to finally landing a new role, she was there through it all.
This episode shares her side of the story — the emotions, the surprises, and what we both learned along the way.In this episode, we talk about:
- What it felt like when I was first made redundant
- The toughest moments during the job search (for both of us)
- How she supported me, and what she found hardest- The emotional impact of finally landing a new role
- Advice for anyone supporting a partner through career uncertainty
Whether you're the one searching or the one supporting, we hope this episode helps you feel less alone.
