Are you an experienced professional struggling to land interviews despite a great resume? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why this is happening, how the hiring game has been changed by AI and what works today.

Relying on a tailored resume to get you interviews is like trying to close a $200,000 work deal by sending a PDF to a potential client. You wouldn't do that at work, so why do it for your own career? It's time to learn the new rules for getting hired.

Listen now to learn why your old job search methods are failing and what to do instead.

Tune in to discover:

✅ The reality of competing against thousands of AI-generated applications.

✅ The "hidden job market": How employers find senior candidates through referrals and headhunting before posting the role online.

✅ The critical difference between a reactive "apply and pray" strategy and a proactive approach that puts you in control.

✅ Actionable steps to get in front of decision-makers and build relationships that lead to interviews and offers.

🚀 If you're ready to stop being reactive and start being the proactive candidate that companies are desperate to hire, this episode will show you the way.

In this episode, I'm not just telling you how to network; I'm showing you how I built this skill from the ground up and turned it into a six-figure career for myself.

I wasn't born a "people person." I was a shy introvert, speaking English as a second language, who dreaded networking events. Fast forward 15 years, and I was being headhunted for my ability to connect with high-level executives.

This episode is the story of that transformation. It's for anyone who feels stuck in their career and knows they need to network but doesn't know where to start. I'm sharing my entire journey, from awkward coffee chats to closing deals with major companies.

Listen now to learn how to build the most valuable skill in your career arsenal.

Tune in to discover:

✅ The raw and honest truth about my early networking failures.

✅ How my job forced me to develop networking skills, and the lessons I learned.

✅ Actionable steps you can take today to start building your networking muscle, no matter how shy you are.

✅ The mindset shift that can help you see networking as a game you can win.

🚀 If you're ready to stop second-guessing and finally land the role you deserve, this episode will show you how.

Welcome back to The Career Diet Podcast. If you’re aiming for a job that pays $150K, $180K, or even $200K+—but you’re stuck wondering why nothing’s working—this episode is for you.

You’ve got the experience. You’ve worked at big-name companies. You know you’re good at what you do. So why aren’t the interviews or offers coming your way?

Let me tell you: you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just using a strategy that works for $60K–$70K roles—not for strategic, senior-level opportunities.

✅ Why applying harder doesn’t work—and what to do instead to get in front of decision-makers

If you’ve ever walked out of an interview thinking it went well—only to be met with silence—this one's for you.
