Ever look at a job description and see “blah blah keyword blay blah keyword?” I know. Right? Well, some people look at a song sheet and only see notes. Others hear the music.

Resumes. Job interviews. You can manage those two. I know you can. After all, writing your resume is all about you. You know you, right? Simple stuff.

Ever have difficulty deciding which interview story to tell? You get asked a question and you’re left to choose the example you give. Tough one! You start wondering should I choose a recent story? But, the oldie from 20 years ago is truly a goodie. Longer one? Maybe shorter is better. Go strategic? Tactical? Should I try to showcase one big talent?…

Time management is dead. I don’t even use a daily to-do list. No lie. Haven’t for years. Why? Because daily to-do lists are where the important, but not-urgent tasks go to die. You know the ones…the ones you should be doing, but don’t because you always seem to get distracted by the shorties (my endearing term for those “urgent,” short-term tasks).…

As an executive recruiter who helped more than 600 awesome people get new jobs, I developed a way to view compensation so those wonderful, employees-to-be didn’t miss a penny comin’ or goin’ so to speak. What’s more, it’s not just about pennies or nickels or dimes, but also the qualitative ways to view them. That’s because, just like I said to my w…

Remember in school when the snazzy collegiate prof handed you a syllabus? (Ha ha) Syllabi were great because you knew what to study, when to study it, and someone who actually knew what they were doing gave you the right order to study the stuff. No matter what era you were born in, whether you’re an old fogie like me or a young gun, the “syllabus …

Feeling stuck in your career? Maybe you enjoy what you're doing, but you'd like to climb faster? Perhaps you want to make a change, but you're not sure how to get there?

We all need them…I mean if you really want to grow. Mentors. Coaches. Trainers. Gurus. Oh my. I’ve long considered having a real-life, face-to-face mentor a luxury, not a need. I still do.

If you want to know what the best resume format is, you need to know how someone looks at your resume, what they're looking for, and where they're hoping to find it. Remember, your resume has one goal. That’s to get someone to say, "I need to speak to this person." The faster your resume does that, the better it is. In this episode, I break it all …

From now on, dare I say forever and ever, you’ll never need to worry about this again. In today’s episode, I give you the exact steps on what you need to get ready and how (and whether) you should prov…

Ya know that question you get in a job interview, “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” I think it comes straight out of the employer interview manual that seems to sit and, unfortunately, not collect dust on their shelves. The overly-thick one with the title “Complete-Waste-Of-Time Questions” embroidered on the spine. Well, I think it’s a silly …

There are generally two reasons people make bad decisions. Their decision-making mechanics are poor. They’re deciding without all the information or the information they have is incorrect. Enter recruitment. Hiring. And their convoluted practices. Which basically ensure the job seeker will become helpless when it comes to the second reason. But, yo…

Ever been asked, “What’s your expected salary?” Think you know what you’re worth? Even if you did, would you share that with some silly, inexperienced recruiter who’s trying to make sure you fit into some corporate box? Here is a capital “T” truth. I don’t want you to dodge this question because I said so. I want you to avoid this like the next pan…

Pay attention to the echoes because everything you do has an effect on someone or something. What you do has an effect. What you say has an effect. What you don’t do, don’t say has an effect. Your causes have effects that will ripple in places you will never visit...and you won’t hear them, but they’re there. This episode is about thinking proactiv…

Behavioral interview questions. Huh? Project-based questions. Situationals. Tell me about yourself. Walk me through this. That.

It’s confusing I know. Good news for y…

Have you ever thought about how dumb the word “unbelievable” is? “That’s unbelievable!” someone utters usually in the wake of seeing something…well, believable. You just witnessed it didn’tya?

Every week, I speak directly to 10 or so awesome job-seekers. One thing I’ve noticed lately is many of them have a common issue. It’s more prevalent with senior people (whether senior in level or age), but it’s fairly rampant if you’ve been working for any decent amount of time. I would go so far as to say, it’s THE domino. The one, when it falls, …

We get distracted by our own internal, automated way of thinking. We focus on the outcomes we want for our projects, teams, business, and ourselves. Imagine if you took the time to think about what your “customer” is going through? What it would be like not to know what you know? Today’s show is about pausing and thinking so you can enrichen the li…

Is your career everything you want it to be? I hope so. But, based on my observation of well-I’ve-lost-count-number-of people, it’s my opinion that most people spend their entire careers working in jobs well-below their level of ability. Why? Because most won’t do whatever it takes. Let’s at least make it easier for you to do what it takes to run a…

I know there are lots of times you want to throw in the towel. But, I hope you don’t. Quitting becomes a habit and it ain’t a good one.

That’s what I’m breaking down in today’s episode! …
