The ADHD Podcast Job Series Recap
During our 6-week podcast series on Jobs and ADHD, we covered a lot of great topics.
From our listener-fueled episodes to our fantastic guests, we explored the different facets of the job market, the workplace and how they are affected by ADHD.
Since we covered so many different topics and offered a lot of great resources, I wanted to take some time to review each week of the series and compile all the links and content in one, easy-to-find place.
Week 1
Breaking Out of the ‘What Do You Do?’ Box
Pete and I discussed the number one question people get asked when they're meeting someone new: What do you do? It turns out there is more than one way to answer this question.

Week 2
We asked the members of the TCA community to share their experience with red flags in the workplace—those things that happen at work that give you a bad feeling.

Our listeners came back with more of their fantastic, work-related thoughts and opinions. This time, we heard their thoughts about those things in the workplace that will immediately have you turning in your resignation.
Week 4
Shaping the ADHD Career with Shell Mendelson
We had such a great time talking with ADHD Career Coach, Shell Mendelson. She shed some light on best practices to discover your dream job when you have ADHD.

Week 6
The 2023 ADHD Podcast Job Survey Review
Throughout this series, our listeners were answering our biggest job questions in an anonymous survey. Pete and I reviewed the results of the survey and shared our thoughts.
Thank you to all our listeners and community members who participated in some way during this job series. I love incorporating your stories into the podcast!
We will be taking a short break now that Season 26 of The ADHD Podcast has wrapped up. But the podcast will be back sooner than you think with a bunch of brand new content and the start of Season 27!
Thank you for your time and attention,
Nikki
