As Janine describes it, she gets pigeonholed and not given new opportunities because she’s so good at the thing they hired her to do! The other issue she’s running into is job descriptions that requi...

The first thing I told her was to look at this interview process like a bootcamp - albeit high stakes - where her job is to learn as much as possible....

Feretesh came to me looking for job search strategies. But what she was really looking for, was herself. I could tell by the way she wrote in her podcast submission, there were clues that whatever I might tell her, she would have trouble following through. Why? She was disconnected from herself.  Because here's the thing: to know what you want to do, you have to know who you want to be.  Now of co...
