TWWork (formerly 'This Woman's Work') is a multi-faceted career resource and content library, that has interview-based podcasts at its core.
TWWork was set-up to tackle two fundamental problems:
Because fitting into the working world is hard
For lots of us, but especially for (our main/core audience of) women who have made sacrifices for their children/families and when they try to ‘come back’ to work, (too) often find they no longer fit into a career, or indeed a role they once held dear.
But fitting in is a problem that affects not just working mothers… It has never been harder to find, fit into and thrive in the right job, which is madness. But a madness that TWWork wants to help cure.
Because the recruitment system/industry globally is outdated
... and fundamentally restrictive, and it needs a massive shake-up!
Countless talent is going under-utilised, globally, either because it can’t be ‘easily’ or ‘conveniently’ found, or because recruiters only want to look for linear candidates that fit into predetermined boxes.
Or, because more and more AI and tech-based recruitment solutions think they can find the ‘right’ people via data and coding algorithms, which ignore everything special and unique about a person.
This is a human problem and we are going to ‘cure it’ in a human way.

The variety of Gemma's work; the creativity of it, the pace of it, the sense of achievement from it... And yes, the glamorous side of media production, will no doubt be fascinating to lot of you. Although, as Gemma mentions, it's FAR LESS glamorous than people think.
However, getting 'into' media production, or any similar 'behind the scenes' role in media, has always been, and still seems to remain to be, a big mystery. But as Gemma says, it doesn't need to be; and in the chat she offers up some great advice for what people can do/what routes in they can take.
What's extra great about Gemma's chat, is that she really emphasises the hard work and graft that has gone into getting where she is now. She had a 'can do' attitude from the start, which even at the top of the chain she still maintains; and as such her career has flown. But most importantly, she BLOODY loves what she does.
Please meet Gemma.
