Ep #249: Why The All-Or-Nothing Approach is Costing You Job Opportunities

Are you stuck in the "all or nothing" trap with your career? That cycle where you're either scrambling, stressed out, and desperate to land a job after being laid off…or you're happy in a job you enjoy, letting months—or even years—go by without putting any effort into attracting new opportunities and letting your resume, LinkedIn profile, and network become neglected and outdated in the process. This cycle is so harmful because it creates massive amounts of unnecessary stress and anxiety when you do need a job. The good news? That stress is completely avoidable. In this episode of Women Changing Leadership, I’m introducing you to a third way. A process that allows you to attract new opportunities in a relaxed way that yields much better results. And the best part? When you follow this path, you'll show up to interviews with more confidence, curiosity, and boldness, because you'll be fully prepared and positioned for whatever comes your way. It all starts with my ‘Always Be Interviewing’ approach. In this episode, I’ll show you how to shift into this ‘Always Be Interviewing’ mindset, stay prepared, and build the professional relationships that will keep opportunities coming your way year-round—without the burnout or desperation.
