Host Rexhen Doda interviews Cindy Jones (CJ), a veteran career transition coach and LinkedIn consultant. CJ shares her personal journey from a layoff at 50, which ignited her passion for helping others, especially over-50 job seekers and women re-entering the workforce.

CJ emphasizes the power of a strong LinkedIn profile (with over 22,000 connections herself) and proactive networking over constantly updating resumes. She advocates for concise, ATS-friendly resumes and the "human touch" when using AI tools. Her business thrives on word-of-mouth referrals and community involvement.

Currently, CJ balances coaching with a full-time role, but aims to transition to full-time coaching within five years, driven by her desire to be the guide she wished she had.
