October Series - Reaching your Network (Session 5)
Are you missing out on opportunities? Most job seekers don’t follow up after applications or interviews. Even fewer take the time to learn from rejection. The cost of not following up or seeking feedback is that you miss out on valuable information and opportunities to improve. Staying stuck in the same patterns leads to frustration and wasted effort. Building a follow-up system and actively seeking feedback helps you identify trends, such as why you were declined or rejected, and allows you to iterate and get better with each attempt. Getting feedback from your "job search system" is crucial for finding patterns and making meaningful change in your career.
October Series - Finding Career Clarity (Session 1)
Most job seekers never take the time to define what they truly want from their next role. Instead, they rush into applications, hoping something will stick. This is the “career discovery” phase—your golden circle, your why. It’s about understanding what lights you up, what you jump out of bed for, and what your purpose is. These are tough questions, but they are essential. Skipping this step leads to wasted time and missed opportunities. The cost of not doing a self-inventory or clarifying your vision is that your job search becomes scattered and inefficient. Taking stock of your skills is a key part of this process. By getting clear on your direction, you set yourself up for a focused and effective search. Think of this as writing your playbook or creating your map before you set out on your journey.

October Series - Creating a Career Plan (Session 2)
Jumping into the job search without a plan is like heading into battle without any armor or strategy. The most successful job seekers treat this step as building their strategy. It’s not just about knowing what you want, but also want you don't want. And how you’re going to avoid it. This means identifying what you’re looking for, what you’re not looking for, and assembling the tools and resources you’ll need along the way. The job search plan is the foundation for everything that follows. Without it, you’re likely to waste time on the wrong opportunities or get stuck in endless cycles of busywork. By taking the time to create a strategy and assemble your repertoire you give yourself the best chance of career success.
