S2 E1 Looking back at Season 1 - ahead to Season 2!

Kaplan Community Podcast

Listen to Part 1 for the insights and highlights from KBS alumni that made Season 1 such a success. So insightful are the stories of how alumni grasp the opportunities to advance their careers. Lifelong learning, remaining emotionally upbeat when looking for jobs, taking career breaks to re-evaluate goals - these are the highlights. Listen again to the episodes in Season 1.
In Part 2, we talk about how much we enjoy being podcasters. We share the richness of our life experiences that have led to happiness in our careers. Kieran started in ethnography with Kenyan tribes, then realized his passion for education. Richard started in finance and IT, but always wanted to teach. Now, we have engaging and authentic stories as real-world examples in our lectures.
