Episode notes

Hiring managers often learn something about a candidate and be like, Oh, wait a minute, you can do this too. And it wasn't even in the job description, right? Yes. It's they discover like how you deliver value. This makes me think about when you do meet with people, like really asking them like, what is the problem right now? What problems are you guys trying to solve and really communicating how you can help solve that problem? Yeah. If there's a job posting, like there's a need, that means there's a problem that needs to be solved. And you can help be a solution to that problem.

When it comes to finding meaningful work, relationships are in & resumes are out! Turns out if you’re looking to make a change to more fulfilling work, your paper resume is actually pretty irrelevant in the career change process. Aligning your experience with a new role or a new industry is possible. You can have a meaningful, fulfilling career that pays well, but trolling job boards with your resume isn’t going to make it happen. On this episode, Liz & Ang discuss kickstarting your career change to meaningful work by proactively building relationships… and ditching your resume (just kidding… sort of).
