Welcome to "That Sweet Salary" podcast hosted by Ben Harris & Emily Green! Today, we’re diving into the powerful, true story of a job search journey like no other. Inspired by Maddy Fitzgerald’s tale of resilience after a layoff, we’ll unpack what she learned through 541 job applications, countless rejections, and finally landing a role after three months of grit and determination. Ben and Emily discuss Maddy’s key takeaways—from ignoring flashy LinkedIn advice to sticking with the basics, staying genuine, and showing up every day no matter what. If you’re in the job search trenches or preparing for one, tune in for encouragement, laughs, and practical advice on what really works (and doesn’t) in today’s job market. This episode is all about keeping the faith, trying everything, and ultimately, staying resilient through every rejection.
