Noodlin' on Interviews, or "Help, I’m Unemployed (and Other Interview Adventures)"

Hey friends, welcome back to Noodlin’ with Josh! Today's episode is one part job hunt therapy session, one part AI love letter, and all parts honest reflection on surviving the interview process. After my mom’s gentle nudge ("you should do more of those podcast things"), here I am—filling up terabytes of cloud storage with voice memos and serving up the goods on unemployment, job applications, and the absolute thrill (and anxiety) of interviewing.

I’m diving headfirst into the trenches of job hunting, and trust me: the struggle is real. Ever try updating your LinkedIn after months (or years!) of neglect? Spoiler alert—it’s way easier when you’re not scrambling post-layoff. Lesson learned.

Plus, I'm giving you my hottest tips on leveraging AI tools like ChatGPT to polish up your resume, refresh your online presence, and even turn old notebooks into context-rich, career-enhancing gold. AI isn't here to replace your voice—just amplify it. Think of it like having a digital version of yourself: slightly terrifying, but undeniably helpful.

Then we're going full nerd on marketing funnels, why I prefer fueling big brand-awareness ideas at the top rather than crunching numbers at the bottom, and the not-so-secret secret to managing people smarter than you (spoiler: hire them).

And yes, I’m still obsessing over that elusive career sweet spot—where passion meets paycheck and networking feels less like work and more like recharging my extrovert batteries. Speaking of which, if you're up for a mock interview or just want to chat career paths, slide into my DMs (@eatmoretinytrees or @HotDadRadio everywhere else). Let’s talk, let’s learn, and let’s keep noodlin’.
