LIVING THE GOOD LIFE
I was recently asked what “Living the good life” meant to me.
For some, it’s driving a fancy car. For others, it’s traveling around the world.
For me, it means living my purpose.
I’ve been in many jobs where work was always “fine” but I never truly felt fulfilled.
It was when I took the time to dig deep and really figure out what I was meant to be doing that everything changed.
Then, taking a chance and going for it was a true gift I gave myself.
It’s rare to be in a place where you enjoy the majority of your day but I’ve been able to do so for a few years now. For that, I’m grateful.
What does living the good life mean to you??

Job Search Myth: "If I apply to more jobs, I’ll get hired faster."
Quantity doesn’t beat quality. Sending out 100 generic resumes won’t open as many doors as 10 targeted, tailored applications.
Focus on roles that match your skills, customize your resume, and write a thoughtful cover letter. It’s not a numbers game; it’s a strategy game.

Benefits for hourly employees?
I work as a recruiter for a relatively small employer (about 50 employees) The CEO asked me my opinion about not giving health, PTO, and holiday benefits to our hourly full-time employees in an effort to cut costs. She wants only salaried employees to have benefits.
I gave her my take on this and am curious about yours (pros and cons) especially those in HR.
Thanks.

?They say “overqualified.”
I say: OVERPREPARED.
? They say “set in your ways.”
I say: STRATEGICALLY SEASONED.
? They say “too much experience.”
I say: DECADES OF IMPACT.
? They say “you’ve done it all.”
I say: THAT’S WHY I KNOW WHAT WORKS.
If you’ve ever been told (directly or indirectly) that your experience is a problem—this post is for you.
? The truth? Companies don’t just hire skills. They hire confidence, clarity, and relevance.
And if you know how to position your experience right, it becomes the ultimate competitive advantage.
