This episode is a powerful and honest conversation for anyone navigating redundancy, career change, job searching or the emotional rollercoaster that comes with trying to find the "right" role.

After spending 28 years with the same company, Roger thought finding a new job would be straightforward. Instead, he found himself facing rejection, confidence knocks, changing recruitment processes, AI-driven applications and the reality that job searching today is very different from what it once was.

In this candid discussion, Roger shares:

• What redundancy really felt like after a long-term career
• The emotional impact of constant rejection and not hearing back
• Why networking and stepping outside your comfort zone became critical
• How career coaching helped him identify blind spots he didn't even realise existed
• The importance of tailoring resumes, cover letters, and interview responses
• The challenges of modern recruitment systems and AI screening tools
• How confidence, mindset, and resilience can directly impact interview performance
• Why persistence and self-belief became the key to finally landing the role he truly wanted

This episode with Roger is relatable, practical and incredibly encouraging for job seekers who may be feeling frustrated, stuck, overwhelmed or questioning themselves during the process. Setbacks do not define your value, and sometimes the right support, strategy and mindset shift can completely change the outcome of your job search.
