How To Get A Job

22-minute Master Class, you will learn how to stand out among hundreds of other candidates and increase your callbacks and offers during the crazy 2023 job market.

My wife, who went to a better school, had better GPA, and overall on paper was a better candidate, struggled to get a job while I had 6-7 job offers after graduation. She’s smarter, she's harder working and essentially a better hire than I am, but I ultimately had better offers because of the strategies I was implementing. And I notice this happens most of the time with my female clients. To learn how to overcome this, I invited Maricella Herrera, CEO of Ellevate Network, on our show to discuss women's career development. We talked about becoming noticeable, building your network and finding the right companies. If you're one of the millions of women who work really hard, but you feel like you're overlooking opportunities, listen to this episode now and learn to master the job search.  Share with a friend that might need it too and leave a review!   Need extra help?
