217: Career Coaching for Dietitians: Nailing Interviews, Navigating Job Changes & Building Your Network with Kelan Sarnoff, RD


Listen Later

Let's be honest - most of us were never taught how to interview or navigate a career pivot. And in today’s job market, that lack of strategy can feel extra overwhelming.

In this episode of the Dietitian Success Podcast, I sit down with Kelan Sarnoff, a registered dietitian turned career coach for RDs, to talk about how to build confidence during a job search, how to actually prepare for interviews (hint: it’s all about your story bank), and why LinkedIn is the most underused tool dietitians aren’t taking advantage of.

Even if you’re not job hunting, this episode is packed with insights about building a professional brand online, understanding where the field of dietetics is heading, and how to pivot with purpose.

We discuss:

  1. The #1 interview mistake dietitians make (and how to avoid it)
  2. Why a great resume isn’t enough to land the job
  3. How to get noticed on LinkedIn (even if you never post)
  4. Where dietitian jobs are growing...and where they're slowing
  5. What to do now if you think you might want a new job later

Whether you’re brand new to being a dietitian, mid-career, or just curious about what’s next, this conversation will help you feel way more confident about your next move.
