Job searching looks different when you’re queer 🏳️‍🌈

“Is this company truly accepting of everyone? Will I feel welcome here? Should I disclose that I’m LGBTQ+ during my interview—or ever?”

Job searching looks fundamentally different when you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Beyond putting your professional accomplishments out there, which already feels vulnerable, you’re also navigating questions about identity, disclosure, and personal safety.

As a career coach who partners closely with LGBTQ+ leaders, and as a fellow member of the queer community, I know that finding a truly welcoming employer isn’t accidental. It requires intention.

To celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month, I’ve pulled together a few of my most-read articles to help you find a workplace that embraces all of you:

🌈 5 Practical Job Search Tips For Transgender Professionals​

🌈 Four Subtle Ways To Assess Whether An Employer Is LGBTQ+-Friendly​

You deserve a workplace where you feel fully welcome. I hope these articles help you find it.

And for my allies (that’s everyone reading this, right?), my Forbes piece on how to be an LGBTQ+ ally at work is for you.

Wishing you a fabulous Pride Month!
