Alright, listen: are you not getting the results you want with your job search? Is your drive to get what you want just not there anymore? We’re going to have a different minisode than usual where I cover something a little bit different - being in the peak mental state you need to land a job and be successful in business or wherever you’re looking to grow in. And this is possibly the most important thing that you should have in life to drive your success. Because I could talk to you all day about getting your resume past the ATS or how to have an attractive LinkedIn photo, but if your mind isn’t there, then you won’t do the best job with your resume or your LinkedIn profile. You’ll get there slower or worse, you’ll end up with the wrong job because you lacked the mental clarity. Today’s all about mental clarity because it’s something I’m passionate about. And at the end of the day, I want you to feel good. Follow us:Get more help on your applications from Let’s Eat, GrandmaFollow Chris on LinkedInCheck us out on InstagramSubscribe to Let’s Eat, Grandma’s YouTube channel for video podcast highlights Hosted on Acast.
