Dear Job Seekers, Your value doesn’t decrease based on someone’s inability to see your worth. ✨ Didn’t get invited to round two of interviews? Didn’t receive a job offer after three rounds of interviews? Didn’t hear back about the status of your job application? Didn’t receive the salary increase you asked for? Didn’t receive a recommendation for an internal promotion? None of these reflect your worth! Your skills, dedication, and potential are not defined by these outcomes. Each step forward, whether it leads to success or a setback, is a part of your growth and learning journey. Keep pushing forward, stay resilient, and remember that what is for you, will come to you. #careercoach #education #personaldevelopment #professionaldevelopment #careerdevelopment

Companies don't want to know what you did. They want to know what you will do for them now and in the future. One of the biggest mistakes I see job seekers make is that they take way too much time telling their stories, and they never get to why a future employer should care about their talent and skillset. I'm hosting a free webinar on Wednesday, February 28th, at Noon Eastern / 9 am Pacific for anyone preparing for an upcoming job interview, whether next week or this year. And I'll have time for Q&A, which is one of my favorite parts of these webinars - answering your questions! DM me the word "interview" and I'll share the webinar link. #jobinterview #newjob #midcareer

❓💭 Do you remember your first job interview - and the nerves you felt?! 🎓 Going from school to your first job interview can be scary and the nerves can impact the outcome. That’s why we organize mock interviews for the 17 high school students who are in their last year. 🗝️ Mock interviews are an essential part of our Enter the Labor Market Course. This is exactly the reason why we organize these mock interviews: to empower the youth by experience, to give them a headstart and building their confidence. 🔊Listen to Ana Carolina's experience of the transformative power of the mock interview she participated in. Nervous but determined, she stepped into the role-play realm, embracing the chance to shine. With each question, she grew stronger. The feedback gave her confidence that speak volume. 🛰️In this moment, she realized that regardless of her background or circumstances, the power to define her future lies within her grasp. The mock interview became not just a practice session but a catalyst for self-discovery and growth. #6 people of different walks in life and different companies interviewed the students to experience and gain this confidence like Ana Carolina 🕴️And are you a professional working at or owning an organization that could participate in the next round of mock interviews?

“Overqualified.” I’ve never heard a more frustrating assessment. Yet, I’ve heard it three times in the past two weeks following job interviews. Is that anything like being “too handsome?” Because that’s how I’m choosing to interpret it. Thanks for the back-handed compliment. I’ll apply for the CEO position instead. #Careers #JobSearch #Frustration
