Career Warrior Podcast

Welcome to episode #14 of The Career Warrior Podcast (formerlyLEG Job Seeker’s Podcast)! Instead of our normal format, we did a LIVE & RAW podcast at Capital Factory with our job seeker's meetup group. We are going to hear from a range of job seekers to share their story – from challenges— to hacks and techniques—to just some entertaining stories. We think it’s so important to not take on your job search alone, and this podcast is going to give you a sense of being part of a group. So you will probably/hopefully hear some things that you did not know. You will hear hacks and techniques that other job seekers are employing to help them deal with their stress.Here are some questions we ask our panel of job seekers:What are some challenges of your job search?Any interview horror stories?Any personal stress relief tips during the job search?What was the lowest point of your job search?What are some personal success stories in getting a job?How has networking landed you a job?If you have any personal stories you would like to share with us, please write in to projects@letseatgrandma.com. We love sharing stories from other job seekers, and we would love to hear from you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is...the Let’s Eat, Grandma podcast number 9 – this is Just-Ask-Chris Minisode #1. We are going to take commonly asked job search questions, break them down, and give you the information as one in-depth answer.  Why a minisode? We wanted to give you another way to learn complex information. We take the complex information with a million different rules (like resume writing in the English language) and give you a way to digest it easily. Little resume snacks if you will.  We are doing this for those go getters who are hyper learners. So those who really want to take a moment in their life—walking to work, waiting in line at the doctor’s office, whatever—and pick something to learn. These episodes will be very SHORT. That is, around 5-10 minutes to make sure that you get a good answer as quickly as possible.  TOPIC: In this podcast, you are going to learn the answer to one of the most commonly asked questions about resumes.  How long should it be?!  Why is this such a hot topic? What are some example scenarios of a one-page resume vs. a two page resume?The core concept: The resume should be as long as it needs to be — but short enough to remain interesting. Please note: that there are a few industries and positions that would expect you to submit a longer resume. Three examples:·      Federal resumes that ask you about everything you did·      Academia. (Cover letters even)·      IT Consultant positions that want to look at detail of all your past work.  If you would like us to evaluate your resume and assess a proper length, please submit your resume to projects@letseatgrandma.comPlease also let us know what you thought of this podcast :) Hosted on Acast.
