  • 122: Resume Tips for Mid-Career Professionals with Porschia Parker-Griffin

    Send us Fan Mail

    Many active job seekers agonize, and I do mean agonize, over their resumes. They wonder if it’s good enough. They question why it isn’t getting more traction or visibility. You may have sent out dozens of resumes only to hear from a handful of potential employers who’ve told you they want to invite you to an interview or you aren’t qualified to move to the next round. 

     

    In today’s episode, you will meet Porschia Parker-Griffin, the founder and CEO of Fly High Coaching and the Host of the "Career 101 Podcast." Porschia and I will talk to you about what your resume must do, what type of resume you should have, what you need to know if you are writing your resume, how to address a career gap, and why hiring a professional resume writer is an investment in you and your career that will reap its benefits far beyond the job you are going to get.

    Last Friday, The U.S. Labor Department reported that the jobless rate rose to 3.7% in August from a half-century low of 3.5% the prior month.

  • 114: The One Word You Must Say During Your Interview - Interview Preparation Series - Ep. 3

    Everyone is looking for that one thing to say during an interview that will give them an advantage over their competition. What if that one thing was easy to say? 

     

    I coach my clients on using one word to change the tone of the interview and build more rapport and interest in who they are and what they do. Saying this word has been a game-changer for my clients to land new jobs they love and get promoted. 

     

    In this episode, I’ll share that one word with you as I continue my special interview preparation series on The Mid-Career GPS Podcast.
