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Because the recruitment system/industry globally is outdated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.

Like most of our guests on TWWork, Cara went around the houses to land where she is, and to carve out the truly unique career that she has... A career that has seen her regularly deployed at the offices of, and/or in the presence of big tech players like Google and Microsoft, and big retail players like John Lewis.
She's been flown around the world and been put up in amazing hotels, in order to observe meetings where the future of it all is discussed.
And as Chops jokes about in the chat, imagine (without all the legal NDAs) the book Cara could write (or draw ;-) with the information she's seen and heard over the years... The conversations she has been privy to.
... But as Cara says, and with full credit to her solid Social Working career beforehand... She never draws and tells.
Please meet Cara.
