In this new episode of “How To Twenty-Something, I bring on a guest, Kate Hutson, to discuss the process of up-leveling your career. We talk about creating your resume and cover letters, using LinkedIn to network, negotiating your salary and benefits, developing mentorship, and overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome. Kate provided so much value as to how a young professional can make strategic moves in their career and common mistakes and challenges she sees in the application process. Whether that’s applying to a new job or a new position at your existing company, there are copious amounts of prep and tactics to consider to help you stand out amongst the other applicants. 

Key Takeaways:

• Setting up your resume and cover letter to stand out, rather than slip through the cracks
• 85% of applicants got their job through networking
• Everyone experiences self-doubt and imposter syndrome; even those in the c-suite
• There are different ways you can negotiate what you want; but you should always negotiate
• Professional development comes from you and you need to be your own advocate if you want the opportunities you’re after
