In this episode, I’m joined by Kelly Gordon, a recruiter at Creative People, to talk all things networking, personal branding, and how to stand out in today’s job market—all without sounding like everyone else in their DMs. Whether you're actively job hunting or just starting to think about your next move, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you build better connections, communicate your value, and attract opportunities long before you need them. Kelly also shares what’s working *right now* for candidates landing interviews and how to use platforms like LinkedIn more intentionally.
