Job Search, Promotion, and Career Clarity: The Mid-Career GPS Podcast 147: Stop Trying to Convince People You’re Great
The job market is a bit confusing. With the tech industry seeing more layoffs and companies being more selective about who they are hiring, it’s more important than ever to know how to tell your story from a place of value and service.
But some mid-career professionals are coming across as needy or desperate. They try to convince a recruiter or hiring manager they are the best person for the job. However, this results in endless rejections and hearing crickets after you’ve been interviewed.
In this episode, I’m going to help you put an end to being needy or desperate and SHOW UP from a much more powerful place to get more people interested in who you are and what you do, so you can find that job you love.
