    Stop Being an Applicant. Be a Solution.

    Stop Being an Applicant. Be a Solution.

    Two steps to be a solution. Step one is in your cover letter, which gets you noticed. Step two is during your job interview, where you start helping the company before getting hired, and they learn how much they need you.

    "Tell Us About Negative Feedback You've Received" The Secret Meaning Behind Interview Questions

    Interview question "Tell us about a time you received negative feedback" has hidden depths.
    It's not just about weaknesses: It reveals how you react to criticism, assess your skills, and approach improvement.
    Good answers: Acknowledge weakness, explain how you learned from it, and showcase growth.
    Bad answers: Blame others, make excuses, dwell on the past mistake.
    Tip: If you've never received major negative feedback, discuss seeking feedback for improvement.

    Cary Sparrow - The Future of Pay

    The traditional career path is dead. People are no longer expected to stay in one job or industry for their entire career.
    There are more resources available online than ever before to help job seekers find jobs and understand what skills are in demand.
    Remote work is becoming increasingly common, which gives job seekers more flexibility in where they live and work.
    When applying for a job, it is important to do your homework and learn as much as you can about the company and the position.
    Job seekers should also be prepared to answer questions about their skills and experience.
    Here are some tips for job seekers:

    Get out and talk to people in your field. This is a great way to learn about different career paths and get advice from people who have been successful.
    Be prepared to be persistent. The job search can be tough, but it is important to keep at it.
    Don't be afraid to apply for jobs that you are not 100% qualified for. The worst they can say is no.
    Take advantage of online resources such as job boards and career websites.
    Be prepared to negotiate your salary.

    TESTIMONIALS
    “Matthew is a real pro. He is extremely insightful and even more gracious with his time. I am on a journey to build up myself as a professional and surpass the career and financial goals I've set for myself. Having Matthew in my corner has helped me take big steps in my career and I am grateful to work with him.”
    JEFF E

    “I was preparing for an all day, onsite interview with various members and teams of the interviewing company. I felt prepared as far as researching the company's mission, goals, values, etc., but felt totally unprepared in my talking points and how to present myself. This is where Matthew helped greatly fill that void. During our coaching session, Matthew helped solidify how to create a solid strategy to present my best self during the interview process by going through potential questions, providing feedback on my responses, and giving me novel perspectives on how to address some of the weaknesses I felt I had. I am happy to say that I landed the position and truly believe that was with Matthew's help.”
    BRIAN V

    “Matthew can quickly assess an individual's career situation during a coaching session and get straight to the point. He provided valuable guidance on improving my resume to effectively showcase my skills to distinguish myself and also assisted me in adjusting my approach. In summary, I would recommend his coaching services for those seeking professional guidance.”
    GINGER T

    “If you're competing with me for a nonprofit marcom director role, I wouldn't recommend Matthew's coaching. Move along. Nothing more to see here. Anyone else, let me tell you that my 90-minute session with Matthew flew by and felt like the best step I've taken in my job search for a while. He gave me valuable feedback on my CV and LInkedIn profile based on his deep experience in recruiting. We role-played and discussed several interview questions. For some, he pointed out how my answer could work against me and suggested changes. For others, he urged me to write down and practice elements of strong responses. He helped me understand how to tailor my answers to resonate with the interviewer. This was the kind of practice and coaching I've long felt I needed, but felt reluctant to ask friends to provide. I might sign up for more sessions soon!”
    JEFF O

    “I've had the pleasure of working closely with Matthew for a couple weeks now, and I can confidently say that he gives exceptional advice. His expertise and guidance have been instrumental in preparing me for interviews and navigating the job market. Matthew has helped me articulate my experiences and strengths effectively. He has a keen understanding of what recruiters are looking for and has coached me on focusing on scenarios and achievements that truly resonate with the job description. Thanks to his advice in Coaching Session #1, I had a great conversation with a recruiter and had my interview scheduled with the hiring manager before that call even ended. Thank you Matthew! You truly are an invaluable asset to any job seeker.”
    JENNIFER H

    “Matthew,
    I wanted to let you know I accepted a position today. I have to give you a huge thank you. When I had my interview for this position, I enjoyed myself. I heard you in my head with all the great tips on handling myself in my job interviews. Take care, and thanks again for what you do and how you change people's lives.”
    ALYSSA B

    I was in a contract job that didn't quite meet my needs or expectations. When the contract ended, I faced the challenging task of job hunting. Despite numerous applications and interviews, I felt like I was spinning my wheels and not making any progress. It was a frustrating and disheartening period.
    That's when I came across Matthew's podcast from Candidate Club. His insights resonated with me, and I found his advice to be practical and grounded. Encouraged by what I heard, I decided to seek personal coaching from Matthew.
