Send us Fan MailHow did someone who studied Shakespeare Romance and Tragedy get hired at Barclays Bank and Adobe?!  In 2021, Barclays was rated by a Linkedin Study as the #1 best employer in the UK and Adobe has consistently figured in the Fortune magazine list of best workplaces. My guest today, Dan Reed, has worked in both these sought-after companies. So I know advice will be useful to many of you.  Yet what drew me to a conversation with Dan was something else.  He is part of a growing tribe of Dads who talk about being a Dad, who want a rewarding and successful career, but not at the expense of family. And second, Dan recently started at Adobe in Digital Strategy, after 7 years at Barclays bank, and there’s an insightful story on how he got hired at Adobe, which holds lessons for many jobseekers today.  In this episode we talk about: - The exact steps Dan took to secure a job and grow at Barclays, coming from a non-traditional background- Wearing full arm tattoos at the workplace, and how and why he got inked as a teenager, considering his fear of needles!- The very personal reason Dan started his blog and podcast “The Career Dad”, how it’s resonated with men around the world and how it’s promoting gender equality- The ‘networking’ strategy Dan used to get noticed and hired at Adobe. Hint: it was not overnight but this strategy paid off, big time. It can for you too. Follow Dan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danreed86/Follow Dan’s blog: https://www.careerdad.co.uk/ Liked this episode? Two things:1.

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
