October Series - Crafting your Brand (Session 3)
We all know you can’t apply for jobs without a resume. While you technically can without a LinkedIn profile, it’s not advised. (Also, add a head shot...). Many job seekers try to fix things on the fly, but this approach is vague and leads to wasted time. Without a networking template, you’re flying blind, and without testing your materials, you’re stuck. Preparation means having your resume, LinkedIn, and networking materials ready before you start applying. It’s about making sure your documents are polished and your stories are clear. (Many people struggle with both). If you don’t prepare in advance, you’ll spend more time fixing mistakes and less time making real progress. Before you take off, make sure to run through your "pre-flight checklist."
October Series - Managing a Job Search (Session 4)
Stop moving in the wrong direction! It’s easy to confuse being busy with making progress. Not all activity is created equal. Many job seekers spend hours applying blindly or scrolling through job boards. But this kind of busywork often leads to burnout and disappointment. The real trap is measuring effort instead of results. (Read that again). What matters is focusing on high-impact activities and tracking meaningful metrics. If you don’t, you risk throwing darts in the wrong direction and wondering why you’re not hitting the board. While you might get lucky with sheer volume and the law of averages, it’s ultimately the quality and direction of your activity that truly counts.

October Series - Using AI to Job Search (Session 6)
Most people who are "flying solo" in the job search are struggling. The myth of the solo job search is persistent, but it’s rarely effective. Going it alone means missing out on the support, insights, and opportunities that come from community, coaching, and technology. Using modern job search systems can accelerate your results and make the process less isolating. Do not be afraid to leverage the resources available to you. They can be game-changing, helping you course correct in your career.
