Have you ever been on one of those people movers at an airport? The danger there happens when you go on autopilot and allow yourself to just move along without paying attention to what might be ahead. The people mover always comes to an end at some point and if you don't plan for it, the adjustment can cause a bit of a stumble.

Your career can be a bit like that. In today's episode, I talk about how to be proactive instead of reactive, so that you are ready when opportunities arise or disruptions happen. From a practical perspective, it looks like these three things:

1) tracking your accomplishments

2) regularly updating your resume and LinkedIn profile

3) being the CEO of your career

If you do these things, you'll be prepared for and be able to take advantage of whatever happens, instead of it taking advantage of you.

If you're interviewing a lot, but not getting offers, it could be that you're not getting your message across to the degree that you need. Today I want to teach you a framework I created that is going to help you change up your interviews and build up your story. It's an acronym that is especially helpful for those behavioral interview questions: DRAMA.

D - Dilemma

R - Role

A - Action

M - Metric/More

A - Advantage

Listen in as I teach you how to use this framework to help you understand and remember how to share the value you have in a way that's clear, understandable, and meets the needs that a behavioral question is seeking. With this, you'll be able to feel comfortable and authentic, while still getting your message across in a powerful way.

Everything that's created starts with a thought, including the evolution of ourselves. In today's episode, I talk about how you can truly become who you want to be. You could have all the resources in the world -- all the knowledge, courses, and Master's Degrees -- but if your thinking stinks, you're never going to achieve your full potential.

Think of your brain like an operating system.

1) Do a "thought download" to identify all the programs running in the background of your mind.

2) Update your operating system with new thoughts that DO serve you

3) Manage your thoughts consistently to keep you on track to the place you want to be.

Start your operating system update with this new thought: "I am worthy."

You are.

Say it to yourself.

Allow to it influence your thinking so that you can start to become the person you want to be.

What kind of approach do you have when setting a goal for yourself? If it's all just about the goal -- to the point that you won't be happy until you achieve that goal -- all the steps along the way just turn into drudgery and you will be miserable.

Ask yourself: What do I want my life to look like as I work toward this?

In today's episode, I encourage you to appreciate yourself and celebrate the value and energy you're bringing to the process. There is no reason to wait until after you achieve the goal to give yourself happiness and joy and appreciation.

Always look for the good in the process.

If you're in a job search, you are selling.

Everyone is always selling.

Consider this: Any time you influence someone's decision, you just participated in selling and marketing. And the reason people are influenced by marketing messages is the same reason you will get hired.

In today's episode I'm going to show you why this works, and how you are already effortlessly doing it.

A sale is nothing more than a transfer of belief and enthusiasm.

So believe in yourself.

Believe in your unique value.

And believe that your prospective employer will see (and has already seen) your value.

Chances are you're telling yourself some untruths in your job search. But they're not the lies you might think they are...

Have you ever had any of these thoughts?

I don't know

I've tried everything

Nothing is happening

None of these thoughts are the truth and if you indulge them, you won't make progress in your job search or career.

In this week's episode, I talk about how these thoughts are projections of your inner being and how to move past them with questions you must ask yourself.

Don't accept the lies. Be a truth teller to yourself.

Show up as the person you'd like to be.

How do you convey your value in an interview? This is an interesting challenge. We are tempted to talk too much, to jam too much information into our answers in an attempt to cover all the bases. This actually has the opposite effect. When you try to be "all the things" all you do is water down your message.

So, just how DO you actually get all your value across (and more!) to the person you're talking to? The solution is simple:

Curiosity.

The number one thing you can do to make a lasting impression in an interview is ask questions. Ask questions from a place of curiosity, helpfulness, and understanding.

You don't need to be the hero in this conversation. Be the consultant. Be the guide. Listen and ask questions all along the way. Paint a picture about what it's like to work with you.

This is so powerful!

You WILL stand apart from other candidates, no doubt about that.

You've put in a lot of time submitting online applications, but you're getting no responses. You're starting to think things like, "What am I doing wrong?" You find yourself feeling lonely, inferior, and vulnerable. Those thoughts lead to these feelings, and these feelings are going to lead you to inconsistent action because nobody wants to face feeling that way! It can be really challenging and demoralizing to face a lengthy job search day in and day out.

What if it was actually possible to get job offers in a short amount of time with very few, if any, online applications? I have a game-changing strategy for you.

Reach out to human beings.

There's stuff that happens when you apply online and you don't know what's going on behind the scenes. As a job seeker, you need to be reaching out to people. Today, I'm going to explain how to do this. And if you do this, you will spend far less time and be far more productive in your job search.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain with this approach.

Push open those doors. Be bold. Reach out to the gate keepers and the people that can move you forward.

Have you ever had this thought that if you could just get in front of someone, you know you would do really well in the interview and you could get the job? If you're not getting interviews, it can only be two things:

1) Your resume isn't working hard enough for you

2) Your job search strategy is off

This week, we're tackling the first issue, your resume - How to get it to work harder, open those doors, give you the opportunity to talk, and help people see your value. A door-opening resume does 3 things:

1) Showcases your value

2) Demonstrates your capacity for contribution

3) Aligns with the roles you're seeking

I know, there's that stat out there that a recruiter only spends 6-7 seconds looking at a resume. When you follow the steps I'm outlining today, you're going to have a document that they will want to READ rather than SKIM. So get out your resume and your favorite pen, and follow along as I take you through the components of a compelling resume from top to bottom. Let's open those doors!

Here is my visual guide to create compelling LinkedIn profile.
