Maximize Monday

Ashley and Matt discuss the task of deciding which skills transfer when seeking to transition to a new career (hint - a lot of them will!)

We break down the process of determining how to translate past experiences in a different industry to a new setting, best practices when deciding which skills to highlight on a resume or during an interview, and Ashley shares some insight on skills she developed during her time in the classroom that have helped her in her new role.

Ashley and Matt return to take a deeper look at coffee chats, and how to get the most value out of a short conversation.

We discuss several factors, such as targeting the right people to reach out to, crafting your message, and how to use the feedback you get during these meetings.

Welcome to 2026, and the first episode of Season 6 of Maximize Monday. Ashley and Matt welcome frequent contributor, Kasia, to discuss goal setting for the new year. We focus on being intentional about goals you want to achieve, how to find goals that are sustainable, and maintaining positivity as your work towards the finish line.

Maximize Monday finally has a co-host again! Ashley joins for her first episode as co-host of the show, and we discuss all things career fairs. Ashley shares insight on how she prepares to maximize the value of attending the fairs, how to network after attending, planning and prioritizing around speakers, and more.

Matt shares insight from the other side of the table - what to bring, the right questions to ask, how to benefit from visiting more tables than you planned, and how to stand out afterwards.

Tyrina is back on Maximize Monday, this time to talk about how to utilize your winter break to focus on your career search, while still giving yourself some time to relax, reflect, and enjoy some time off.

We discuss networking at events, resume and interview advice, how to make the most of your time away from the classroom or desk, and how to continue to challenge yourself to find the right opportunity for you.

It has been some time, but a new episode of Maximize Monday is here, with regular contributor Kasia joining the show to discuss how to prioritize inner-peace during stressful job searches.

She provides insight on how to make the most of your search while giving yourself some positive energy, how to look for potential in any situation, and what to do to avoid getting burnt out while you seek new opportunities.

This week, job-seeker Ashley S joins me on the show to discuss her current search. What motivated her to start seeking opportunities outside of the classroom, what skills she has developed during her time as an educator that she's wanting to take with her to her next role, how she applies and networks with intention, and the key to maintaining positivity throughout the process.

Tyrina returns to Maximize Monday, as the new school year has begun and we want to provide some job-seeking insight to those who are still looking to move into a new role.

Tyrina shares some insight into how she got started in coaching, what are some of the services she provides to her client, common strategies for resume building and interview preparation, and how to tackle networking.

Frequent contributor to the show, Kasia, returns to dive a little deeper into her role as a corporate healer - what are some of the ways she was able to identify the need for change early in her career, how she supports others looking for similar guidance, the importance of self-care, and her new web-site where you can learn about these resources.

On this episode, fellow recruiter Taylor joins to discuss her career - how she got into talent acquisition, making the move from agency recruiting to corporate, some of the ways she relies on her brand and network to build a solid connection with talent, and how she provides feedback and insight to create a positive candidate experience.
