        • Episode 50: Manifesting our Dream Career with Rebecca Lee Doran
          Episode 50 of the Jess Get Hired Podcast features Career Manifestation Expert, Rebecca Lee Doran.
          Career manifestation is the practice of intentionally creating and attracting the
          ideal career or job into your life through focused thoughts, beliefs, and
          actions.
          It involves aligning your mindset, energy, and actions towards your career goals,
          leveraging the power of the Law of Attraction to bring desired opportunities
          and experiences into your professional life.
          Manifestation is not just wishful thinking or daydreaming. It requires clarity of vision,
          setting specific career goals, and taking inspired action steps towards
          achieving them.
          By practicing manifestation techniques such as visualization, affirmation,
          gratitude, and mindfulness, individuals can shift their mindset, overcome
          limiting beliefs, and create a positive and empowering environment for career
          success.
          Career manifestation is about tapping into your inner potential, accessing your unique
          strengths and passions, and consciously co-creating your professional journey
          with the universe, allowing for greater fulfillment, growth, and alignment with
          your true purpose.
          Rebecca Lee Doran is a People Programs Specialist, Mental Health Reformist, and Professional Career Manifester.
          Her professional journey spans 2 decades across the hospitality & culinary
          industries, the luxury fashion world, and the healthcare tech space.
          Rebecca's multifaceted experience has served as a long-term study in understanding the employee psyche across roles and industries, and the significant impact company culture has on both workers and job seekers. Rebecca also serves on the Board of Directors for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, is a harpist, gamer, and enjoys spending quality time with her husband, cat, and dog.

        • Episode 48: Tough Talks: A framework on how to master difficult conversations w/ Gary Ross
          Episode 48 of the Jess Get Hired Podcast features Gary Ross, President and CEO of Inside Comms. In this episode, we are going to discuss one of the most challenging aspects of communication in the workplace: handling difficult conversations, or as we like to call them, "Tough Talks."
          In this episode, Gary and Jessica will go over how to approach and navigate these types of conversations with ease and confidence.
          Some of the things you will hear:
          Identify the objective of the conversation. Before you engage in any difficult conversation, it's important to identify the objective of the discussion. What do you hope to achieve from the conversation? Is it to resolve a conflict or to provide feedback? Knowing the objective will help you stay focused and on track during the conversation.
          Decide on how and when to communicate the message. Once you have identified the objective, it's time to decide on how and when to communicate the message. Choose a time and place that is private, quiet, and free of distractions. Consider the other person's schedule and make sure they have enough time to engage in the conversation.
          Determine what you want in the end and how to follow up. After the conversation, it's important to follow up and check in on the other person. This will show that you are committed to resolving the issue and maintaining a positive relationship.
          Be Honest and Empathic
          Anticipate responses and reactions
          Watch your body language and tone of voice
          Listen to Understand vs. Listen to React
          Handling difficult conversations can be a challenging experience, but with the right approach and mindset, it is possible to navigate these situations with ease and confidence.

          • Episode 44: Are You the Disruptor? OR Are You the Disrupted? With Wayne Brown, Skills4Executives

            Episode 44 - Jess Get Hired Podcast

            Uncertainty is produced by disruption because it brings about change. Everyone may not always be in favor of change.
            When something disrupts the way we learn, act, think, or spend our time, it creates something new, modifies our habits, and heightens our awareness. Innovation and disruption have an impact on how we approach and implement change. Leaders who are able to navigate through disruptive environments are competitively empowered over those who are unable to do so. They understand the importance of being agile, and flexible, and how to be disruptive themselves.

            Meet Wayne Brown, a disruptor in his own right.  Wayne is an author, coach, and podcaster, and was recently named “Executive Coach of the Year 2022” by CEO Magazine. With 45 years as a professional executive, Wayne draws on his experience, having worked with diverse cultures from countries across Europe, India, the Middle East, Asia, and North and South America. This background brings unique insights and in-depth knowledge to his coaching practice. Wayne supports his clients to manage their evolving business landscape. He is passionate about helping executives and teams develop their leadership capabilities and thrive in their corporate  environment. In this episode we touch on 21st century leadership.

          • Episode 43: Bouncing Back after Job Loss
            Fired, furloughed, or reduced in force - all of this means you're out of a job, and the uncertainty of what comes next hits home. I've gone through all three of these in my life, and each time was an opportunity to try something new. Don't get me wrong, it's scary to think about how you'll provide for your family, pay the bills, and even if you'll be able to find another job, but these things happen for a reason, and as unfortunate as the situation is, it gives you the opportunity to redefine who you are.
            Every morning when I open my laptop and scroll through LinkedIn, I see countless posts about another colleague or connection who has been laid off. Notwithstanding, it is also refreshing to see that with just one post, hundreds of other people are willing to help and support.
            I've been there - a lot of sleepless nights, anger, frustration, nervousness, and perhaps a little bit of excitement about what might happen next. When you lose your job for the first time, you have a lot of questions running through your head. "Why me?" "Could I have done something different?" "What am I going to do?"
            I've learned a few lessons from each time I've been fired, furloughed, or had my position eliminated, so I thought some of my life lessons might help someone else who is going through the same thing and wanted to share them with you.
            I will share a personal story about a time my position was eliminated and I will share a few of my lessons.  
            Here's a preview: 
             It sucks – You’ll be uncomfortable but don’t ruin relationships on the way out of the door.
            Your dreams, goals, and aspirations don’t have to end just because your job does. What can you do to reinvent yourself?
            Plan ahead – what can you do if your job does get eliminated – think creatively and think positively 
            Invest in yourself – time to focus on being a better version of you. Unemployed 2.0 – How will you upgrade?
            Get your Shit together – finances, relationships, professional life and personal life – Check! 
            Acknowledge your emotions and move on
            Prepare your narrative -What are you going to say and what's your career pivot?
            I was inspired to do this episode because of a recent feature I had inside CanvasRebel Magazine.  Read more here: https://canvasrebel.com/meet-jessica-fiesta-george/

          • Episode 42: Redefining Recruiting with Leah Daniels, Jobsync
            How is the role of the recruiter changing in 2023 and beyond?
            Meet Leah Daniels, Chief Commercial Officer with JobSync.  She brings her perspective on the recruiting landscape to Episode 42 of the Jess Get Hired Podcast.  Leah is a Talent Acquisition Executive with impressive credentials from her time at Appcast, Monster, Bullhorn, and ZoomInfo.  Her industry experience working with large enterprise organizations granted her a patent on detecting the early behavior of candidates in social media. 
            In this episode, Jessica and Leah discuss how the role of the recruiter is evolving to become more project management-led.  There is also a greater focus on talent quality and allowing recruiters to be more savvy business partners.  Gone are the days of only filling jobs.  The modern-day recruiter needs to acquire new skills and capabilities that will help them not only redefine the role and responsibilities of a typical recruiter but refine them.
            Technology also plays a huge role in how recruiting will transform in the years ahead.   JobSync automates the integration of employers’ ATSs and the job sites they use, resulting in 2-5x fully completed applications, improving the applicant and candidate experience, and eliminating hours of wasted recruiters’ time from manual tasks every day.
