How To Get A Job

How do other people define you? If your colleagues and acquaintances were asked to describe you, would it be positive?  In this week’s episode, I sat down with Briar Dougherty, founder of Career Organic, to talk more about how we are not what other people think we are. Instead, we are who we think we are. From the perspective of a first generation, minority, and international college student, you might face even more pressure as you begin progressing in your career, but don’t let this stop you from accomplishing your goals. It’s hard to not let others’ expectations define you, especially when it comes from the people you love the most. You should not let external expectations dictate your life, career, and goals.  Check out this week’s episode if you’ve been affected by the expectations of others!

If I told you that 80% of jobseekers get a job by doing one thing, would you want to know the secret? The funny thing is that it’s not a secret at all.  On this week’s episode, I've invited Reno Perry to dive into networking on LinkedIn. We discuss what we teach our clients about networking that allows them to increase their visibility in their career field. We also cover unconventional ways to network outside of LinkedIn and how it is human behavior to want to help those that have commonality with you.

How have you been applying for jobs? Well, I bet you’ve been applying the wrong way. I have worked with thousands of job seekers, and 99% are. If you are a job seeker and want to get a job in less than 90 days follow these five steps:  Find open jobs that match what you are looking for.  Research the job, the company, and the department.  Customize your resume and cover letter before applying by using your research and job description. Apply for the role.  Increase your application’s visibility by networking with hiring managers, future coworkers, and recruiters.  Follow this process for each role, and I promise you’ll have better results!  Don’t forget to leave a review and share with a friend.

How do you plan on taking your career to the next level?  To answer this question, I invited AJ Eckstein to discuss how he took his collegiate career and turned it from small town community college to a prestigious university. Despite his high school's negative stigma, he attended community college. He then flipped his script, getting a 4.0 GPA and having five internships, before transferring to the University of Southern California. After graduating with the “Most Outstanding President Award” and “Diversity and Inclusion Award,” he created his Career Coaching Company to help graduates obtain their dream jobs.

Do you have any habits? Are they good or bad? Are they helping you or hurting you? I’m going to throw it back for you.

I dive into my personal habits, good and bad, and I talk about three habits that every student should have to guarantee career success in the future.
