HERE'S WHAT GUARANTEES MASSIVE PROGRESS
Course after course my time, energy, and sometimes sanity suffered. I would get SO excited when I bought a new course or training program just to be disappointed in myself when I didn't follow through.
I'm someone you would call a serial course buyer. You know the type. We see the shiny new object, get all caught up in the promises it makes, and hit the purchase button.
But then I would break my own heart...because I didn't HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE.
How many times have you been really excited about something only to take a leap, not follow through, and then feel crappy about yourself?
So, I recently made a promise to myself. I decided to hold off on buying any more self-paced courses. Instead, I would only invest in 1:1 coaching and training.
I am not ashamed to admit I NEED the accountability from someone else. I'm now working with an AMAZING new business coach and in just a few weeks my work has transformed in ways I never thought possible.
It's because I decided to:
1. Invest in me so I could practice what I preach and feel FULFILLED
2. Find better ways to reach YOU and serve YOU
3. Be self-aware enough to know I need accountability from someone besides me
If you feel eager for a change in your career but know you won't take the steps to get there by yourself (because of time, energy, focus...life), consider finding someone to help you.
I'm always open to conversations if you're like me and need accountability to someone else! https://bit.ly/freecareeradviceconsult

Record yourself answering questions in order to get invited to interview with a real person?
Am I the only one who thinks this is sketchy? I applied online to a small company (they exist-I've done my research). The next day I received a request to answer a few questions while recording myself via video. I have concerns about data and privacy and I have no idea how the videos will be used or stored.
I also think this is potentially a way for them to be biased without having to "meet" me. Thoughts?

Apply to yourself everything you enjoy about it and pay no mind to the things that are bothering you.
Once you break the cycle of negative feedback in your mind, you can create a positive environment in your surroundings.
Let the good things happen.

Ghosting is Real
I am bothering a recruiter who has ghosted me so many times I cannot remember all of them. Maybe one of these times something will work out.
We were supposed to speak tomorrow at 10am, now it is 1030. We shall see!
Good luck to all job seekers!

Hi everyone!
I saw someone post a Google document for all the different types of positions!
It made me think to leave a doc that I am in, too, which is all remote positions that are updated every month!

Starting to think it's time to retire...
I've been searching for a new job for the past two years. I am a senior-level program manager with more than 25 years of experience. I've posted my resume on LinkedIn, Dice, Indeed, Monster, Careerbuilder, Glassdoor, you name it. In the two year span, I've had about four interviews. Three have gone to the second or even third round just to be told I was not selected, or never to hear from them again. Some of the interviews have gone well. I never get a reason for the no. I recently had a recruiter call me and say he was sending over a job, but he never sent it. That happened a few times after a phone call. I know you're thinking, 'Is it possible that I'm not professional over the phone?' I assure you that is not the case. I worked for many years as a receptionist, answering the phone and providing customer support. I've updated my resume as asked by multiple recruiters, I've used the AI tools recommended by LinkedIn. The only thing I have not done and refuse to do is pay $5000K to hire someone to find me a job. If I am looking for a job, I can't imagine spending money to get money. Maybe if the salary I am after was $500K or more, but I am not there yet. I thought it had something to do with the salary or the rate, but I am asking the market rate for my experience and the role. At this point, I honestly believe it has to do with my race. I've watched other PMs with less experience, from the same companies I've worked for, who I trained, get jobs. I am happy for them of course but there is no reason for me to be sending my resume to the recruiters and not even hearing back at all or not getting one offer. We never want to believe race has anything to do with it, but I had more luck when I removed my picture from LinkedIn, and I did not answer my phone, but forced recruiters to email me. But then came the video call, and I never heard from them again. I am not sure what I am doing wrong or what is wrong with my resume. This has become so frustrating. I am not at the age to retire but I am ready to give up. I love what I do. Support customers, teams, delivery all of it, but I cannot keep trying and adjusting for a world that refuses to accept me.
