The First Gen Coach: Career Development for Latinas and First Gen Professionals

34. Lowering the Stakes without Lowering Your Standards


Listen Later

In this episode of The First Gen Coach Podcast, I talk about lowering the stakes in your job search, and why that will actually help you advance your career. I share a deeply personal story about the ways in which my job search was harming my mental health, and the decision I made to lower the stakes. Now, I teach this method to all my clients, and it's helped them secure jobs, create boundaries, and protect their own physical and mental well-being.

I also discussed:

  • What lowering the stakes looks like as you apply and interview for jobs
  • Why you must create boundaries, even when working in direct service roles
  • Increasing your confidence in your career by lowering the stakes without lowering your standards
  • Ready to take control of your career? Book a free discovery call to see if working together is right for you!
