Better ways to engage with a mentor and burnout prevention tips

Happy Monday! Skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.

👀 ‘Six steps you can take to prevent burnout’: Brianna Hatch wrote for the GroundTruth’s Navigator newsletter about “actions you can take to protect your mental well-being while remaining a productive member of your team.”

Key advice included establishing boundaries and keeping them, baking breaks into your day and stepping back from tech.

🌏 ‘How to best report on countries other than your own’: Quartz is hosting a business journalism webinar featuring journalists from Quartz, The Wall Street Journal and more on Wednesday, August 25, at noon ET.

“How do journalists avoid stereotyping when ‘parachuting in’—either in person or by computer—to report on stories in other locations?” according to the webinar description. “Our panelists will describe their approach to reporting on businesses operating in different communities, societies, and geographies; and share tips on how to use an outsider’s perspective to surface stories with sensitivity and pragmatism.”

📝 ‘Approach[ing] potential mentors with intention and respect’: Taylor Blatchford interviewed Emma Carew Grovum, who runs a journalism consultancy, for The Lede newsletter about “the best way to build ongoing mentoring relationships and the difference between a mentor and a sponsor.”

💻 Google News Initiative product workshops: The Google News Initiative is offering free workshops directed at folks at small-to-midsize news organizations to help them “learn how to define your product strategy, develop successful products and cultivate a product-centered news organization,” according to the description of the series. Register here for the workshops that start August 30.

👀 ‘Nail your professional narrative’: Phoebe Gavin, who I’ve really enjoyed working with as my career coach, is hosting a workshop on Thursday, Aug. 26, which she writes is designed to help job seekers “step into the mind of your interviewers and get the offer with storytelling tactics that impress.” Those who are interested can register for the $49 workshop here.

Thanks for reading!
