Laid off, not getting hired, and running out of positive vibes? You’re probably title-hunting or applying for jobs that are too far out of your league.

Vanessa & Holland’s advice? Stop applying to “stretch” jobs and get one you’re overqualified for instead. That way you can pay your bills and grow in your role (or keep applying for more jobs) from a place of abundance, not scarcity.

Welcome to Ask Your Work Wife, a new podcast where Vanessa & Holland answer your real questions about real work in corporate America. Covering topics from quitting to interviewing to negotiating to resumes and meetings. It’s about knowing the rules of the game so you can get what you want.
