[0:25] - #AAA for August 2022

[1:00] - Callie - How often should I be commenting on LinkedIn posts while job searching? 5 comments per week? 5 comments per day? Is there an obnoxious number? I’m trying to add value with every comment I leave but don’t want to spam my connections.

[5:14] - Ewa - It seems like I cannot “sell myself” on my resume or during the interview. Once hired, I do an awesome job but I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of great opportunities. How do I correct this?

[9:57] - Tyler - I want to take an awesome headshot photo for LinkedIn. Any recommendations?

[13:35] - Andy - Do you think Cover Letters work? I've heard no one reads them.

[18:54] - Rubal - Where's your favorite place to get a bagel in NYC?
