Smart Career Planning

Welcome to episode 62. We have Dan Clay, the author of “How To Write a Perfect Resume” on our podcast today. You can purchase his book on Amazon. It comes in both digital and hardcover version.

Welcome to Smart Career Planning episode 61.  If someone tells you that she worked as an agricultural economist but now she’s the VP of Merchandise and Sales Planning at one of the largest footwear companies, what would be your reaction? Mine would be, “How did you do that?” That’s exactly the question I had for my guest this week, Jennifer Grannis.  

This is the third podcast series focusing on Career Transition. In this episode, Adam Hesch shared with us his journey from being in the military to working for one of the largest company in the world.  

Rakesh Patwari is incredibly active in the community.  Started out as a computer programmer, he is now one of the lead product designers at Juniper Networks.  He is also a part-time lecturer at UC Berkeley Extension, teaching Information Architecture.

This is the first of four podcast series in which we’ll discuss the secret to a successful career transition. Juan Garcia earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Accounting.  Right now, he owns a boutique marketing agency, specializing in the Accounting industry.

Kyle is the Founder of Caffeinated Kyle, a career coaching consulting whose goal is to help you find a job you love!  

In this episode, Jane Fan, and in-house recruiter in a consumer electronics company, and Bryan Krajeski, an agency recruiter in the insurance industry, answered your career question as well as shared their thoughts on some of the most popular career/job interview topics.

It's more than halfway through Q2, which means you either have just gone through a performance review or soon be undergoing one.   This podcast will walk you through ways to leverage performance review to elevate your career or work toward a promotion.      

Transitioning into a new career can be time-consuming and tricky.  As a recruiter, I see people do it over and over again.  Check out this podcast and find out how!   In this podcast, I made several specific recommendations, all of which you can find on my website here. 

#DearRecruiter is back!  In this episode, I have three experienced recruiters answering YOUR career-related questions: 1.) A seasoned professional is looking to make a career transition. What should you do? 2.) You received a promotion but ended up hating it.  Your old job is no longer available and you feel that your manager will let you go if you voice your dismay.  What should you do?  Let's hear it from other recruitment professionals!

This is the last episode of the "Navigate Your Way To Success - College Edition" series.  In this episode, I will talk about the last building block to landing your first amazing job!  

Welcome to episode 51.  When it comes to navigating your way to success, there are three main areas - Experience, You and Network.  In my previous episode, I shared with you ways to build professional experience when you have zero.  In this episode, I will talk about YOU.   In this podcast, I also referenced a Youtube video I produced several months ago - How To Create A Winning Resume - College Edition.   After following my recommendations in this podcast and the Youtube video and you still have questions about your resume, feel free to send it to me at helen@interviewrightconsulting.com.  Be sure to state in your subject line: I listened to your podcast.  

If you have been a follower of my blog at Interview Right Consulting, you know that I’m not someone who believes in a single approach to creating career success. If you are working full-time, it can be a bit easier, right? You can leverage your existing job to build your experience, branch out and network with other professionals. But how does this work if you are still in college? In this podcast, I’ll explain what 360-degree career building is, and then I’m going to dive deeper into each of the element. Then I’m going to share with you how YOU, college students, can implement it in your daily life.

As an executive, career and life coach, Yuri has worked with Millennial, Gen-X and Gen-Z clients of different career stages, industries, and job markets to win their dream jobs, develop and execute detailed career plans. He’d even helped professionals to pursue and monetize their life mission into a successful, revenue-generating side business.  

As someone who reads hundreds of resumes a week, I can tell you that a resume is more than just a piece of paper that contains information about your career history, it serves as a window for someone like me and other hiring managers to see how you feel about your work as well.  That's why I invited Joni Holderman, Founder of Thrive! Resumes, to share with us the transformative power of resume coaching.  

Rumor has it, many of us like to explore another job opportunity at the start of the new year, namely, Q1. Whether you are happily employed, actively listening or actively interviewing for another job, it’s always good to learn how to vet an opportunity.

Happy 2018 and our first episode this year! So, for our podcast today, I’ve invited someone who is an active practitioner of turning hobbies and passion into side projects.  Steven Savage is a writer, coach, IT professional, speaker and a project/program manager.  If you'd like to follow Steven and learn more about his projects, please check out his website here.

Welcome to episode 45, our last podcast for 2017.  In episode 40, Bryan, Jon and I shared our thoughts on this article.  At the end of our podcast, we realized how rich that article was, and we decided to record a Part 2.   We will continue our monthly #DearRecruiter series in 2018.  So, if you have any interview or career-related questions for our guests, please send them over to helen@interviewrightconsulting.com.  

Welcome to Smart Career Planning. I worked on a podcast series titled “How to break the glass ceiling” last year. And I have Dana Shaw Arimoto came on to speak on that topic. Due to popular demand, I am very excited to have Dana joining us again today. A brief introduction of Dana - Dana is an executive and leadership coach, author and public speaker. She is also the creator of Stop Settling Mindset and Movement, as well as the founder of Phoenix 5, LLC. Now, Q4 is usually the busiest time of the year for professionals. But at the same time, 2018 is right around the corner. That’s why I am inviting Dana to come and speak with us about ways we can strategize a career success plan.
