Carolyn Kylstra started as Editor-in-Chief of SELF just as it was transitioning from a legacy print brand into a digital-led media organization. On a deadline to create a strategy, an editorial plan and voice for the brand, Carolyn took on each challenge, and the media industry quickly took notice. SELF is an an award-winning wellness media brand that values accuracy in an oversaturated wellness industry. SELF seeks to help people to live healthier lives.
Carolyn took her passion for both storytelling and health and find her niche in wellness media. She's worked across the industry at media companies such as Cosmo, Men's Health, Women's Health, and BuzzFeed before starting at SELF. As a hiring manager for many roles, Carolyn has looked over 1000 resumes and cover letters and explains how a hiring manager looks at your marketing materials and how to format your cover letter and portfolio. We also talk about how to stand apart in your career, how to deal with feelings of insecurity and how to manage up smartly.
