    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.

    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.

Practical info!

I’m new to the job market after working for 10 years in one position and 10 years in another. I have not had to do many interviews in my 20 year career and it felt like a scary place to be after a recent layoff. This show has practical tips to help me refine how to interview, especially because I already know I can be great in the job from my extended experience!

You Are My Interview Guru

Over the last few months, I’ve been queuing up your episodes and listening to them repeatedly for their honest, intention-driven advice. I am proud to say I’ve just landed my dream job, and while it’s my background and experience that brought me here - it was this podcast that put me into the right headspace and mindset to seal the deal. Your insights, your collaborators and your truly applicable and action-oriented advice are so relevant and spot on. I would go for trail runs as I prepared for multi-round interviews with my new employer and you kept me focused and sane when emotions and stress were high! I want to say thank you for sharing your tips and tricks with the world in this way. I literally felt like I had an insider’s advantage during my conversations and was able to be so much more present and authentic - which further excites me to know I vetted the company to fit my needs as much as they vetted me…I already know it’s going to be a good adventure. Thank you for what you do, and good luck to all of the fellow listeners pursuing their next dream job, too.

Thank you!

I recently re-entered the job market after selling a business I started and ran for 15 years. Over the past decade plus, I have interviewed staff for my company but never been the one being interviewed. I was completely clueless when preparing for an upcoming interview! I can’t say enough praise for how impactful your podcast has been over the past month in prepping me for all aspects of the interview process. Today I had my final interview of the 4 interview process (whew!) and it was with the CEO. This morning, as a last step in prep, I listened to your episode interviewing Johnny Walker at Executive Edge and it quite literally got me the job offer! I NEVER would have prepared an answer for the specific “why not how” discussion and, because I did, my response was seamless. Thank you for giving me the confidence to represent myself in the best way possible! -Misti
