ISSUE #25 - Dec 4, 2019

Hello!

December is here which means the holiday rush and wrapping up work before some well deserved rest and relaxation. We’re bringing you the latest career resources and our “Inspiration” this week is all about holiday shopping that supports women of color owned businesses!

As many of you know, I started Amplify in February of this year. I’m delighted at how our community has grown and the love and positivity you’ve shown it. Next week, we’ll feature our first ever “Best Of” issue, which will be your go to guide for the best career resources from 2019! Don’t miss it!

Happy reading!
