205: Etiquette Tips to Help you Land the Job with Alison Cheperdak
Your career advancement ISN’T just about what you know. It’s also highly driven by how you treat others and how you present yourself. This is why I knew I had to have Alison Cheperdak, the founder of Elevate Etiquette to share her experience with you this week.
Most people think etiquette is just about knowing which fork to use and how to dress fancy, BUT there’s so much more to that.
The way you present yourself, communicate, and interact with others can open doors – or close them. And as Christians, how we carry ourselves in professional settings is an extension of how we honor God and serve others.
Here’s the thing: most job seekers focus on resumes, LinkedIn, and networking while overlooking the ONE skill that can make or break career opportunities. And it’s not about being stuffy or elitist, it’s about building real relationships with kindness, integrity, and respect.
In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend Alison Cheperdak, founder of Elevate Etiquette, as we dive into the power of etiquette in job searching, networking, and career growth.
We discuss:
What etiquette really is and how it aligns with biblical principles like kindness and respect
The small but powerful habits that help (or hurt) your job search
The biggest social mistakes that can hold back your career
How etiquette gives you an edge in professional settings - even for introverts
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to present yourself with confidence, make meaningful connections, and use etiquette as a tool for career success while staying true to your faith.
Cheering you on,
Kelsey Kemp & Audrey Bagarus
