Job Search Made Simple

01/29/2025

When you’re in an emergency situation, you can’t rely on anyone to save you.

YOU need to be prepared.
🫵🏼

For this reason, I have an emergency hospital and supply bag so I can move quickly and have what I need.

PIVOT

How prepared are you for an unplanned professional pivot?
🧐

While I hope you never need to search for a job unexpectedly, it can happen, and it’s much easier to move when you’re prepared.

🦋 FACT
Life is less stressful, and sleep is more peaceful when you are.

Three things you can do today so you have a good sleep tonight.

✅ Keep your resume updated-not only for a quick pivot but for a reminder of all you’re doing in your current role.

✅ Keep in touch with your network-It’s easier to ask for support when you stay connected.

✅ Keep growing your skills-it’s easier to move when you have relevant skills to leap into the next role.

The time to prepare for your next move is while in your current role.

Carrie Underwood had the opportunity of a lifetime to sing infront of the entire world when the audio didn’t work.

It wasn’t her fault, it was a technical glitch.

But she wasn’t going to let anything stop her.

She grabbed her mic and used her most powerful tool-her beautiful voice-which clearly didn’t need any backup.

PIVOT

If you are in an interview and hoping someone asks you the exact question you need to give them the information you want them to know about why you are right for the position, you may miss your moment.

Don’t wait for someone to back you up, you are solo in these situations.

🎤 Know what your most important message is
🎤 Fit it into the conversation
🎤 Don’t get flustered if tech glitches
🎤 When all eyes are on you, grab your moment

When I dropped my daughter off for a summer program there was a teenager sitting with her parents and crying.

Hysterically. 🥲

We stopped to talk with them and she told us she was promised a single room and was placed with a roommate she didn’t know.

She said “sometimes I need to be alone”.

I responded with “so you’re an introvert”.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy she was when she learned that her energy that is recharged in the quiet, is a powerful thing.

PIVOT

Historically, it’s the extroverts who are seen as “the best students” or chosen to be in leadership positions because they are “outgoing”.

However, just because someone is fueled in the quiet doesn’t mean they aren’t “outgoing” it just means that their way of going out isn’t the same as someone who is fueled by the energy of others.

If you are an introvert-own it-and when someone describes you as “shy” or “unfriendly” let them know that quiet time allows you to understand your self
👉🏼and those who are self-aware, have emotional intelligence
👉🏼and companies value this more than anything.

So for the EPAs who are introverts-remember that in order to have empathy and be aware of how someone else is feeling-you first need to know how you are feeling.

Embrace your most powerful skill that grows from a quiet place within. 🦋
