Online webinar by Fairygodboss [1]
Recently I watched a webinar hosted by Fairygodboss [2], featuring women leaders from Siemens Digital Industries Software. Fairygodboss is an online community designed for women to share their experiences, ask for advice, and get resources to help in navigate challenges in the professional sphere. The focus was on supporting young women in their career start and development.
The leaders from Siemens Digital Industries Software started by talking about diverse roles available for women within their organisation and talked about what main features those have. What I think was helpful within this webinar, which women can use, was them talking about how they started looking for a job after graduating. Four women professionals were talking about the details of their jobs, how they were being interviewed, and what challenges they had. They also advised on what questions are important to be asked during interviews, what should be prepared, etc. During the webinar, mentorship appeared as a crucial topic in the area, as many women feel too intimidated when it comes to their proficiency and/or knowledge.
In conclusion, this webinar was a helpful experience, as it not only showed guidance for women in the professional sphere but also the importance of such platforms.
