I hate that I even have to write this. But fake recruiters and fake job postings are everywhere right now. And job seekers are being targeted hard. That’s not because you’re careless. It’s because scammers go after people who are motivated, hopeful, and actively searching. That’s you. What makes this worse is how convincing these scams have become.
Few interview questions create more damage with fewer words than, "What's your expected salary?" Not because it’s hard. But because people answer it at the worst possible time, with the least possible leverage...
Does it feel like you’re not growing in your career? Perhaps not learning much? Or not building new skills? Or not sure which skills to even build? Maybe you’re noticing other people passing you by. You’re thinking, Why does she get the promotion? I’m just as good. If any of those questions are tugging at you, you’re in luck, because I’ve got a lesson today wrapped in a little story with a big punch that’ll shed some light on the answers.
If you’re rehearsing your stories five minutes before an interview, you’re cooked. I’m not saying that to be dramatic. I’m saying it because it’s true. Right before an interview is not the time to cram, memorize examples, or mentally sprint through your résumé. This will just get you tense, not to mention self-focused...
January is one of the busiest and most misunderstood periods of the hiring year. Behind the scenes, companies are launching new initiatives, trying to staff teams faster than most job candidates realize, and, unfortunately for them, replacing unexpected employee departures. Recruiters are active. Hiring managers are under pressure. Roles are opening that weren’t planned just days earlier...
Let me ask you something honest. Have you ever looked at your effort and thought, “There’s no way I should still be here?” You show up. You work hard. You try to do the right things. Yet your career, your goals, or whatever you want still feel out of reach...
Everyone is trying to predict the job market right now. Most of them are staring at headlines and waiting for someone to tell them what’s going to happen in 2026. That’s the slowest way to build your career. There’s a much better approach, and that’s what I’m teaching in this off-schedule Sunday lesson.
Job searching can be brutal. It tests your patience, your confidence, and your resolve. But if you shift your focus from results to wisdom, everything changes. That’s what I’m teaching in this week’s lesson, how to use your job search to make you a better professional.
Most job seekers prepare for interviews the wrong way. They start by memorizing answers to questions like “Tell me about a time you disagreed with your boss” or “Describe a challenge you overcame.” But that’s backwards.
Most candidates talk about what they can do. The best ones show it. When an employer asks for a presentation, it’s not a test of PowerPoint skills. It’s a test of whether you understand what they actually buy: transformation, not tasks...
