  • Ep 6: From Burnout & Cynicism to JOB SEARCH MOMENTUM! MARCH CHALLENGE!

    I observe trends all the time. January is a time of hope and new excitement for job search.

    By the February ends, some rejections have set in, some discouragement and full blown burnout and cynicism. Candidates have. been ghosted and are left wondering WILL I EVER FIND A JOB AGAIN?

    Yes. You will. BUT you must move beyond the burnout and cynicism of the process - recruiters and hiring managers can FEEL this energy on you - whether its through your Linkedin posts or your recruiter screens where you barely have enough energy to show up and even PRETEND you are excited about the role....

    My idea? Commit to MOMENTUM MARCH. Get POSITIVE momentum in your search with these 3 steps: 1. DECIDE to turn things around. 2. Try something new. Join to a new coaching program (Cue, Job Salon, it's still only $23 bucks - nikiwoodall.com/thejobsalon) 3. COMMIT to getting a BURST of new activity - BUT only after you have 1. Recovered from some burnout, skepticism and cynicism..... and 2. Gotten some feedback from a professional that says your resume is SOLID and your strategy makes sense (NOTE - JUST using Linkedin Easy Apply is not a winning strategy.)

  • Ep 4: Creating a Search Strategy.. in ONE WORD

    1/3 of people polled have no job search strategy. 1/3 kind of have one. 1/3 do have one.

    Not sure where to start with making one? 

    The one word that's synonymous with Job Search Strategy.... SCHEDULE!  

    If you don't have a schedule you are sticking to, there can be no strategy.  

    I break down the easiest way to look at it and create one you'll stick to.

    • Ep 2: New Year, New.. Rejection? How to deal? Is it even real?

      "It's not you... it's THEM. BUT... sometimes its you...."

      Kicking off with an important topic that isn't talked about enough beyond the platitudes like "Rejection is God's redirection!" or "wasn't meant to be!" Yes - those things I agree with. But rejection is also a teacher and SOMETIMES - job rejection isn't even real at all. It oftentimes has NOTHING to do with us, but the recruiters can't really tell us that........ 

      We discuss: 

      • Is Job Rejection real?
      • When does rejection have NOTHING to do with you? 8 or so times. 
      • When WAS it you?
      • What does rejection indicate from a mindset lens? Is something else going on below the surface?
      • How can we prevent it? Yes - even though sometimes it has little to do with you, we can still be empowered and at least do our part to minimize our own rejections...

      • Ep 1: What is a Job Salon?

        A salon in the 18th century France was a place for prominent women (and some men) to come together and discuss things like politics and social issues. Today, this Job Salon is a place for all job seekers to experience mindset shifts and practical tips for career and life transformations.

        Join me as I share what I've learned as a 15-year recruiter, working most recently at Facebook (but had a previous life in non-profits, small tech companies, and more). I've been a side-hustling career/mindset coach for 8 years. My goal is to drop valuable nuggets to kick off your week and hopefully make your job search a bit less sucky.

        Visit nikiwoodall.com/thejobsalon for $23/ month coaching - my 2023 initiative to help as many job seekers as possible get hired fast and OUT of the job search.
