The word "professional" has long been co-opted to force people from all backgrounds to fit — or at least try to fit — into neat little boxes. The problem is that people don't naturally fit into those boundaries. Forcing them to conform or hide who they really are has proven to be a terrible approach to business. The solution is simple: employers need to allow people to be themselves for the sake of business and their employees. How do job seekers find employers that understand that basic approach? Rework Work's Stacey Gordon is a LinkedIn Learning instructor and a diversity, equity & inclusion (DE&I) strategist with a wealth of experience in recruiting and workforce training. She joined LinkedIn Senior Managing Editor Andrew Seaman on the latest episode of the #GetHired podcast to talk about the various ways you can find out what it's really like to work at an employer and if they really let you… be you. The conversation touches on the important research you should do before an interview and the hard-hitting questions you should ask during those conversations.Follow Stacey on LinkedIn by clicking here.Follow Andrew on LinkedIn to join the Get Hired community by clicking here.Find Stacey's LinkedIn Learning courses by clicking here.
