Episode 288 - How to Job Hunt During the Mid-Year Slowdown If you're a job seeker heading into the mid-year period, particularly the June–July school holidays, you’ve likely heard the familiar refrain: “No one hires this time of year.” The job boards quiet down, recruiters take leave, and it’s easy to believe your career ambitions should be put on hold. In this continuation of my conversation with leadership expert Michelle Redfern (Click here for Part 1), we unpack what it really means to look for a job during seasonal slowdowns, and why this mid-year window can offer a strategic advantage for experienced professionals.

Episode 287 - Hiring Makes No Sense Anymore: Why Recruitment and Hiring Feel Like a Burden and How Leaders Can Fix Them Hiring has become a dreaded task for many managers. It feels like a burden rather than an opportunity, especially when organizations are under pressure to restructure, meet operational targets, or operate with reduced budgets. In this of The Job Hunting Podcast (287), I’m sharing part one of a two-part conversation originally recorded for the Lead to Soar podcast, where I was interviewed by Michelle Redfern. Michelle and I explore the realities of hiring from the leader's perspective, especially in the current climate of economic volatility and organizational change. We discuss what makes hiring feel heavy and bureaucratic, and how we can shift the experience to make it more strategic and rewarding.

Episode 286 - If You're Not Showing Up on LinkedIn, You’re Invisible: How Job Hunting Has Changed for Professionals Over 40 Experienced corporate professionals over 40 face a paradox: they bring extensive expertise, leadership, and resilience, yet they often confront hiring biases. If you’re over 40 and navigating a career change, know this: You don’t need to reinvent yourself. You just need to reposition. You’ve built a career. Let’s make sure it continues to serve you. Here’s what I want you to remember: This episode (286) is part 2 of my discussion on how to use age as your advantage to help mid-to-senior level professionals navigate career transitions confidently and effectively.

Episode 285 - You May Not Want Another Job — You May Want Your Own Business One of the most interesting shifts post-COVID is the increase in the number of professionals choosing small businesses over large institutions. Many are seeking more autonomy, flexible work arrangements, less bureaucracy, quicker decision-making, and the satisfaction of building something tangible. TJ notes that while corporate skills like management and communication are incredibly valuable, small business operations demand flexibility, problem-solving, and comfort with ambiguity. It’s also true that more professionals today are seeking purposeful careers that allow them to apply their skills in more entrepreneurial environments. As corporate professionals rethink what success means to them, many are finding new energy in small business ventures, whether by starting something of their own or joining a growing company. In this episode of The Job Hunting Podcast, I interviewed TJ Slattery, founder of Crow's Nest Consulting. With a background that includes founding a brewery and advising small business owners across the U.S., TJ shares a wealth of insights for professionals looking to transition from corporate life to the small business world.

Episode 284 - This Ain’t Your First Recession: How to Navigate Today’s Job Market Like a Pro Inflation is slowing. Interest rates remain high. Companies are hiring, but cautiously. For experienced professionals, that mix translates into fewer job openings, more competition, and longer wait times. Meanwhile, the jobs that do exist are being filled differently. Some never even reach job boards. This blog summarizes Episode 284 of The Job Hunting Podcast, in which I discuss the biggest challenges facing mid- to senior-level professionals and offer a strategy playbook for overcoming them. If you’re applying for roles and not hearing back or wondering how to reposition yourself in a slower, more selective market, this is for you.

Episode 283 - How to Succeed Without the Perfect Boss Traditional models of leadership have focused on influence over others: inspiring teams, delegating tasks, setting strategic direction. But the definition of leadership is expanding to include how we influence and guide ourselves. Self-leadership is about setting our own direction, managing our mindset, and taking proactive ownership of our careers. We are witnessing a pivotal shift in how work is experienced and how careers are built, especially in the corporate sector. With mass layoffs making headlines and a growing number of organizations calling employees back to the office, professionals are facing unprecedented uncertainty. For many, the promise of purposeful work seems to conflict with the rigidity and pressure of corporate environments. Yet amid these complexities, there is a powerful idea gaining traction: self-leadership. In this episode of The Job Hunting Podcast (283), I spoke with Elizabeth Lotardo, a leadership consultant, author, and educator who has worked with companies like Salesforce and Hilton. Her book, Leading Yourself: Finding More Joy, Meaning and Opportunities in the Job You Already Have, and her expertise in employee engagement offer timely and practical guidance for navigating today’s volatile job market. Elizabeth traced the origins of the self-leadership concept to ancient philosophy, yet emphasized that it is now finding new relevance in the corporate world. In 2017, she pioneered the first LinkedIn Learning course on the topic, and interest surged during the pandemic as remote work made self-direction a professional necessity. Her insight is especially relevant now as many organizations reduce headcount, restructure teams, and withdraw flexibility.

Episode 281 - Pessimism is fashionable but optimism wins: Why Positivity is your career’s Greatest Asset There has never been a more crucial time for optimism in the corporate job market. As layoffs continue in various industries, economic uncertainties loom, and AI-driven changes disrupt traditional career paths, job seekers are navigating an increasingly complex landscape. In this article, I argue that a strategic, optimistic mindset is essential for professionals looking to advance their careers or land new roles. In my recent conversation with Victor Perton, Chief Optimism Officer at the Center for Optimism, we explored how optimism shapes leadership, career growth, and resilience. The discussion reinforced a fundamental truth I’ve observed as a career coach: those who cultivate a positive outlook consistently outperform their peers in job searches, interviews, and long-term career progression.

On the other, job seekers—particularly experienced corporate professionals—are facing unprecedented challenges in positioning themselves for their next role.

Episode 277 - The Job Search Illusion: Why Corporate Professionals Struggle with Unrealistic Expectations If you spend any time on LinkedIn these days, you’ll find no shortage of job search success stories. Posts from professionals who landed a new role in record time are often presented as if they hold the ultimate secret formula. The implication? If you’re still struggling to land your next opportunity, you must be doing something wrong. But the reality of job searching—especially for experienced corporate professionals—is far more complex than these polished narratives suggest. As a career strategist and coach, I work with professionals every day who are trying to navigate a labor market that has changed drastically.
