“This time around I was really clear from the start with the recruiter that I can only consider this if the way in which I’m currently working compressed hours can continue.”
Our guest today is Graihagh Crawshaw-Sadler, the CEO of children's charity Bookmark and mum to 3 small children.
Graihagh works flexibly 4 days a week as the charity CEO and she shares with Verena how she negotiated for flexible working during the recruitment process, including why she strongly believes being a working parent is a big asset.
The discussion includes:
- What Graihagh learned about negotiating for flexible working during the application process
- How to make an impact in the first 100 days at a new organisation
- How Graihagh handles emails on her day off
- Moving from 2 to 3 children
- Why you should update your LinkedIn profile
- Why being a working parent is one of your greatest strengths
