As we get ready to close out 2022, I wanted to share this“Best of December” issue of the Talent Edge Weekly newsletter

This issue includes the 10 most popular resources/articles from December. This “best of the month” format is slightly different than the regular weekly issue in that it provides a short description (instead of my full summary and perspective) of each resource.
