Please move to Spotify. I like this podcast and prefer to listen there.

I’ve enjoyed listening for the content but what is up with the hosts talking as if people are stupid and they know everything? I get your educating people but you know the content inside out because duh, you’re reading off notes. If you don’t want to listen to them, subscribe and you’ll get the...Read full review »

Bloated episodes that contain maybe one sentence worth of actual “content” that boils down to generic advice that may be obtained at a university career center. The hosts seem out of touch, particularly with tech hiring and interviewing, and frequently mix up tech roles, which doesn’t inspire...Read full review »

Mark and Michael clearly understand the value of communication when it comes to running a successful business. This podcast is for you if you are looking for specific actions you can take to grow your career.

Painfully out of touch and perpetuates the toxic corporate mindset and it’s broken systems. For example, during a segment about incorrect dates on resumes / big gaps between jobs, Wendy (the host) talks about her “Prison Rule” which means that if it’s not on your resume, it means you were in...Read full review »

I just listened to the episode, Your Valuable Secondary Network, and had some great insights into how to develop your professional network
Alex425xyz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/10/21
About a decade ago, I was an avid listener of Career Tools, and I used to recommend the show to everyone, mostly because Mike & Mark shared such very useful, on-point perspectives about careers and hiring. However, about five years ago, I stopped listening to the show because I felt like...Read full review »

I love this podcast. Wendy and whoever cohosts with her (it varies) are always right on point with advice. I listen all the time, and repeat episodes that are particularly insightful.

So much great insight and knowledge. Must listen
Hypergrowthmind via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 12/19/20
Not a very relatable podcast. Despite the potential good message, the presenters come off as holier-than-thou and pompous. It’s cringeworthy. Also seems very “old school” in their philosophy and thinking about workplace culture and practices.

The manager tools and career tool podcasts are incredibly valuable and everyone should be listening. You need this! And it’s free. It’s an amazing offering that will improve your life. It has improved mine.
Jane1980727 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/29/20
Before listening I was about to have a panic attack. My new boss started two days ago and wants to make lots of changes. I loved my old boss and we complimented each other well. She had to retire for health reasons. I wanted to not like this new boss but I found that it’s just the change I don’t...Read full review »

If you have a job or want a job and this podcast is not part of your daily listen or study then you are leaving money and results on the table. The latest series “Mark’s College Talk” is a must listen. Wendii and all give real, usable, time-tested advice here. If you aspire to reach management...Read full review »

Really simplistic and obvious advice repeated in the most long winded way.
Tavis Ford via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/30/19
But could be shorter & get right into the actionable info
Jolynne Smyth via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/11/19
Mostly common-sense blah blah blah
ekab9 via Apple Podcasts · Russia · 05/24/19
I just found out about this podcast and am listening to the first episode. It surprised me that in a world of "10 tips to build rapport" type of advice they're bringing down-to-earth, highly actionable advice that cuts through the noise. Great job guys!Read full review »

This has been so useful across many disciplines! Really helpful... thank you team! I would be happy to buy Wendy a new microphone 😏
BowdieB via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/26/18
So funny, listening to your podcast now where when Wendy introduces herself people hear Lindsay. My name is Lindsay and when I introduce myself people often hear Wendy. I’ve always thought that was a stretch in mishearing me. Great podcast I’m binge listening currently and I’m so happy to have...Read full review »
Lindsay Sutter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/20/18
I tried to make it through the Asking For A Raise podcast series, but it was unbearable because the male host incessantly interrupted the female host correcting and commenting on her every statement and even critiquing her accent. The information was okay, but painful to listen to the imbalance...Read full review »

While the casts can be a tad on the long side, I find them enjoyable. I keep an ear out for particular casts that are relevant for some of my directs, give them feedback, provide the cast, and then we discuss in their next one on one. It’s been wonderful.
SweetMisery2790 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/18
Highly recommended- also see the manager tools series
First time frozen via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 02/02/18
Every week Wendii Lord and rotating cohosts at Career Tools answer a question you've probably had about your career or your job search. There's good give and take between the hosts and much detailed discussion full of practical advice you can use now at the office or in a job hunt.Read full review »

Manager tools and career tools have transformed me to a much better manager
a huge fan x via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 09/02/16
While I've been working longer than not working, I found much of use here (there are tips for those just starting out, too). I am grateful, for instance, for the encouragement to plan for annual reviews by planning time monthly to add up your accomplishments (so you don't forget). :)Read full review »

Always deliver great actionable insights
L-Train Feevah via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/14/16
Recent podcasts were not as useful as the old ones. There are few instances one would disagree strongly with the suggestions from the podcast especially the one about 'go to work when sick' sticks out. This podcast was useful not anymore.Read full review »

I eagerly await each new cast. Has been a huge help for my career!!!!! Highly recommended!!!!

his podcast provides very useful guidance on effectively managing your career as a professional.
jbriar2000 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/15
Career Tools changed the course of my career. I was the person who got the job done, but everyone hated. Career Tools showed me how to change all that so that others perceived me as inclusive and collaborative. I still get it done only now people enjoy working with me.
Kevmart Australia via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 09/21/15
Wow
As a young professional, every topic is extremely relevant and useful. Mark gives concrete guidance and specific examples. I love how the hosts give a brief bullet point in the beginning of each episode then elaborate. BLUF

Is your manager checked out and you need some advice on how to handle a situation? Have you ever wondered why your job search is stalled? Or why that team doesn’t work well with you? This is the best podcast I’ve listened to. I’ve been listening to the team here since early 2008 and love their...Read full review »

They tell you what nobody else tells you about how to do a job well. All the nuances that used to be passed on from the senior people that aren't any longer. These guys are great and their advice is spot on.Read full review »
J0009 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/15
The last episode “Dealing with a Whiny Co-Worker” was a little strange, it definitely was speaking from a MANAGER’S perspective and not a co-worker’s perspective. An “every day” coworker, not someone in a supervisor role. I think it proves these two definitely know how to be managers, but may...Read full review »
Dandetiger via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/08/15
This podcast looks at all aspects of working and careers and discusses them in depth. It is well worth the subscription fee and more and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone.
Sl1605 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/21/15
Found these two resources after being pointed here by a friend. Excellent advice. Even the very old podcasts hold a ton of value. Don’t overlook them due to the age.
JockelCarter via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/05/15
Actionable advice, good chemistry between the 2 main hosts, they get on with the info (not a lot of blah blah blah chatty BS that other MCs in this genre seem to be fond of). I have learned a lot from them. Highly recommend
