  • AI Is Hurting Your Job Search, Here’s Why

    Think AI is helping your job search? It might actually be hurting it.

    If you’ve ever asked ChatGPT to write your resume, figure out what roles to apply to, or prep you for interviews, this episode is a must-listen. Because here’s the truth: AI is here to stay but using it the wrong way can hinder your job search progress and career opportunities.

    This episode reveals how to stop using ChatGPT like everyone else, and how to start using it like the candidates who actually get hired.

    Want the ChatGPT prompt I mentioned at the end of the episode?

    Leave a quick review, take a screenshot, and DM it to me on Instagram @thenewemployees. I’ll send you my ChatGPT Cheat Sheet, packed with highly effective prompts that will help you use AI to land the roles you actually want.

  • Her Boss Said No One Would Hire Her—Here's How She Got Two Job Offers

    Her boss told her she was too old to land a new job. After 18 years at the same company, Tea almost believed her.

  • The Underrated Way to Land Interviews While You Sleep

    What if your next job found you? Seriously. While you’re out living your life or finally enjoying your evenings at home without the job search stress, you could be getting interview requests for roles you actually want.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the lazy (but very effective) strategy that helps my clients land interviews without burning out. If you’ve been thinking LinkedIn only works if you post every day, become a thought leader, or announce a layoff, you need to hear this.

    This simple shift can help your dream companies find you, without you having to post every day or apply to every job you see.
