We are almost at the end of 2024, and many of us are looking to the New Year as a chance for a much-needed fresh start. Now is a great time to reflect on the past 12 months and set some big goals — financial and otherwise! — for the year to come. And if you’re looking for advice on how to get a new job, you aren’t alone.

Erin McGoff, better known as “Advice with Erin” on TikTok shares her playbook on how to get a job in 2025.


CHAPTERS: 

00:00 Reflecting on 2024 and Setting Goals for 2025

07:00 How to Discuss Salary and Benefits in Job Interviews

16:00 Why Networking Trumps Resumes

20:00 When It’s Ok To Tell White Lies In Interviews

35:00 Mailbag Question 1: Should I Pay Off My Zero-Interest Credit Card With a HAMP Loan?

38:00 Mailbag Question 2: I need to liquidate $15,000 from one of my mutual fund accounts, which one should I choose? 


TAKEAWAYS:

  •  Functional resumes focusing on skills rather than chronological experience can be effective, particularly for midlife career changes.
  • Use AI as a support tool, not a substitute, and edit outputs to maintain authenticity.
  • If salary limits are fixed, leverage non-salary benefits, like PTO or flexible schedules, and ask about these areas during negotiations.
