Today on Paychecks & Balances, we freestyle! This episode is all about entering back into the job search world and the trials and tribulations that come with that. Both of us decided recently to make a career shift and today we share our stories with you. Whatever your case may be: whether your current role isn’t a good fit, you want to pivot in your career, or need to feel truly challenged, the first step is putting yourself out there. And that’s terrifying! But with a little preparation, realistic expectations and unbreakable stride, this job search could have you become a stronger, more confident version of yourself.

In this episode, we discuss the advantages of “internal mobility” within a company, how you can prepare aggressively for your next job interview and what happens when things don’t go according to plan during a job search.

• Cover letter tips and key points to focus on
• LinkedIn Learning Courses
• Prepare 10x for your next interview/ skip the mock interview

Key Takeaway: Getting clear about why you want a new job or that career change is critical when entering the great unknown of job searching. Luckily, passion and preparation are two major assets you can arm yourself with when beginning this journey.
