🎙️ Mastering Interviews: Prepare, Speak, Win! 💼

Hey there, social media fam! Let's talk interviews. The word alone might send shivers down your spine, but fear not! Interview preparation is easier than you think. It's not a daunting public presentation that makes everyone nervous. Here's how you can rock your next interview:

First things first, update that resume of yours. But don't stop there! Line-by-line coaching can make a world of difference. When you've gone through it with a coach, you've essentially already interviewed. Talk about being well-prepared! We have tools for online interview prep, and face to face prep since many of us haven't interviewed live sine 2019 or earlier.

A resume someone else just writes for you, is a recipe for interview disasters.

Research is key! Dive into the company you're interviewing with. Get to know their mission, values, and recent news. And don't forget about the people you're meeting. LinkedIn stalking, anyone? Understanding the interviewers' backgrounds can give you valuable insights and talking points.

Come armed with questions. At least three solid ones. This shows your genuine interest in the role and the company. It's your chance to learn more and demonstrate your curiosity. Plus, it helps turn the interview into a conversation, making it more engaging for everyone involved.

Here's a pro tip: ask if there's anything the interviewers have heard that might not pass you forward in the process. Sometimes, they may have misconstrued your answers. This gives you an opportunity to clarify and ensure you're presenting your best self.

Now, let's talk about confidence. Be comfortable in your own skin. Embrace your unique qualities and strengths. Remember, you're not here to be someone else. Speak clearly, project confidence, and let your personality shine. Authenticity goes a long way.

So, step into that interview room with your head held high. You've prepared, you're armed with knowledge, and you're ready to win them over. Remember, it's not about being perfect; it's about being your best self and showcasing your potential.

Good luck out there, rockstars! You've got this! 💪

🎓 College vs. Vocational Work: Embracing Vocational Talents 💪

Hey Facebook community! Let's talk college education vs. vocational work.

Vocational roles often offer competitive wages, rivaling entry-level college positions. Plumbers, electricians, welders, HVAC technicians, and others in skilled trades can earn well, especially in unions.

Advantages of vocational work? It's more affordable, with shorter programs that get you into the workforce sooner. Hands-on experience is a priority, making you job-ready from day one. Plus, minimal or no debt is a big perk compared to the heavy burden of college loans.

Don't believe the taboo that not going to college means failure. Vocational talents are valuable! Skilled professionals in trades like carpentry, mechanics, culinary arts, and more play vital roles in society, enjoying fulfilling careers with stability and good pay.

Let's break free from the idea that college is the only path. Embrace vocational talents for exciting career options. Our society needs skilled professionals who contribute to industries and communities.

If you have a passion for hands-on work or a trade, explore vocational education. It's an investment in yourself that can lead to personal and financial fulfillment.

To all skilled professionals, your work is valued. Let's celebrate diverse paths to success, inspire others, and reshape the narrative around vocational talents.

Getting Fired: It's Not Just You! 🔥

Hey LinkedIn fam, let's talk about something that's not always rainbows and sunshine: getting fired. We've all been there, and let's be real, it sucks. Unless you wanted to leave and negotiated a fat severance, it's a blow to your confidence and finances.

But here's the thing: it's often not your fault. Companies make financial decisions that lead to layoffs. The bigger the company, the more they prioritize stockholders over employees. Tough pill to swallow, right?

Don't fret, though! You can bounce back.

Find a friend or confidant to vent and process your emotions. Talking it out is therapeutic. Consider seeking support from a psychologist or therapist to navigate the impact of a toxic work environment.

Now, here's a shameless plug: hire a reasonably priced career coach. They'll guide you through finding your next role with confidence. It's transformative!

Getting fired can be a moment for growth. Reflect on your career trajectory, goals, and happiness. Losing a job can be a blessing, leading to new opportunities and hidden passions.

Remember, your employment status doesn't define you. You're talented and resilient. Embrace reinvention and don't let getting fired define your future.

Let's support each other through the ups and downs. Share stories, offer guidance, and lend a hand to those going through tough times. Together, we'll overcome challenges and rise stronger.

Getting fired might suck, but it's not the end. It's a stepping stone to a brighter career chapter. Keep pushing forward!

You can shorten your job search to 5-9 weeks instead of months.
Creative resumes stand out with unique designs and visuals, but struggle with ATS systems.

Normal resumes, being structured and scannable, fare better. Graphics in creative resumes take up space, while well-described achievements should take priority.

For creative individuals, a traditional ATS-friendly resume is recommended, with a separate creative resume for human review. Don't forget essential elements like GitHub or a portfolio. Most templates aren't ATS-friendly, so prioritize readability and factual content. Find the balance between aesthetics and ATS compatibility.

So many clients struggle with what their "calling" is. This video explores the faith based answer to that question with Coach and Pastor Dan Carlson, and Coach Anna Zschuppe.

What is your calling?

How do you listen for that from God?

What if I mis-step or mis-understand, then what?

This series has drawn over 200% views on Facebook due to the subject matter. We all need a boost, and we all need to reconcile with our maker who wants to be involved deeply in our lives.

Why is your resume getting tossed to the side?

What you have said, is certainly important, but truthfully, the format is the first thing anyone (including an ATS) sees.

Having poorly organized resumes will kill your chances. Using butterflies instead of bullet, using crazy fonts, colors, side bars, or tables.

All of that causes extra work for the recruiter, or HR person to figure out just who you are. And, most likely, if it's a poor job, it goes in the C-Stack or trash without even being read.

CareerCOACH™ Services licensed and certified coaches know how to present your information in a compelling way, that gets your resume considered first.
