What it does
Fairygodboss offers a career community for women, with job discovery, anonymous company reviews, discussions and expert-led events. It states that community membership is free and includes articles, research and career conversations.
A career question can be the starting point. Discussions cover work difficulties, negotiation, pay and other decisions that may be easier to investigate with peers and experienced contributors. Articles and the podcast provide additional perspectives without requiring a vacancy search first.
When looking for a role, the job directory connects with employer information and anonymous workplace reviews. Virtual career fairs and webinars offer another way to learn about companies and ask questions around a particular profession. An event’s date and audience matter when deciding whether it is relevant to the search. The company reviews should be read as contributors’ experiences, while the selected vacancy establishes the role requirements. Use the community to develop useful questions and the job information to decide where to apply.
