Should I “come out” as LGBTQ+ while job searching? 🌈

As a career coach who works with many LGBTQ+ folx, I’m often asked this deeply personal question:

“Should I come out during the job search process?”

The truth is, coming out is a deeply personal choice. There’s no perfect or easy answer for if, when, or how to share your identity.

That’s why I created a comprehensive guide to help you reflect intentionally and make an empowered decision that aligns with both your authenticity and safety needs.

In honor of Pride Month, this guide explores:

🌈 How to decide whether to come out as LGBTQ+ during the interview process
🌈 The potential benefits of coming out
🌈 The possible risks or drawbacks
🌈 Ways to signal your LGBTQ+ identity (if you choose to)

​👉🏼 Read the full guide here and explore what feels most aligned for you. 👈🏼​

No matter what you decide, please know that you’re not alone and that you deserve to feel respected and seen at work.

Stay resilient and safe this Pride Month!
