104. You've Applied to 100+ Jobs and... Nothing. Troubleshooting Your Job Search

If you’re a mid-career woman in the job search, you need less effort and more strategy.

Join me to catch your career blind spots, make internal shifts, and elevate your job search to make real progress.
 
🙋🏻‍♀️ Hey there! I’m Patricia. I help mid-career women get to their ideal next role with more intention and less stress.
 
On the podcast, you’ll clarify your career direction, understand strategic branding, and experience the same insight-to-action approach I use in my start-to-finish 1:1 career coaching program.
 .
This podcast is especially for you if you:
✔︎ are in a job search or about to start one
✔︎ know how to work hard but want a smarter strategy
✔︎ want momentum in the search, knowing you left nothing on the table
 .
Here’s what we talk about:
🎙️ Job search strategy for mid-career professionals
🎙️ Career clarity, insights, and decision-making
🎙️ Professional branding (resume, LinkedIn, messaging)
🎙️ Interview preparation and interview strategy
🎙️ The thoughts, patterns and habits that accelerate (or stall) your search
🎙️ What’s working in today’s job market
 .
🚫 This is not: a podcast about quick-fixes and career hacks.
🚫 It's also not empty "you can be anything" promises.  
 
It’s instead a practical, insight-driven space where I help you slow down - just a bit - so you can:
✅ position yourself well in today's market
✅ leverage strategic communications to experience momentum, and
✅ feel the relief - and results - of an approach that truly connects

...all using the same approach I coach my 1:1 clients with in our start-to-finish career coaching program.
 
If you’re a mid-career woman in the job search and you're ready to "slow down to speed up", then you’re in the right place!
