I am so excited to welcome career development strategist and founder of iRockResumes, Nickquolette Barrett to the show. She launched her business out of a desire to help clients level up their personal brand before launching their job landing campaign. Nickquolette helps her clients tell a compelling career story so that recruiters and employers cannot resist bringing you in for an interview. Her clients consistently offer feedback that recruiters and hiring managers rave over the documents she provides them. Nickquolette helps her clients showcase their best self on paper, online, and in person. 

 

In our interview, Nickquolette and I talk about the importance of being the CEO of your own career. It is important to identify a passion you can monetize and brand so that if you needed to pivot in your career or your position was suddenly eliminated, you still have a plan. We also reflect on the fact that you should never reduce yourself to a job title and that no employer can ever take your experiences away from you. After listening to this episode, you will be motivated to get ready before you need to be and go after the job you were meant to have, not the one someone just convinced you to be a slave to. 

 

In this episode, you'll learn

• Why it's critical to take charge and be the CEO of your own career. 
• How you can optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile to showcase your most relevant experience
• How to navigate dealing with present employers seeing your LinkedIn profile during a job search
• How can a career coach can help you identify other elements of your value and experience
