What if you stopped treating your job search like a numbers game and started treating it like a marketing campaign?

This week, Laura and Amanda are talking careers, job searching, career pivots, and one of the biggest Wait… What’s Next? questions of all: how do you position yourself for where you want to go when your experience only shows where you’ve been?

Laura is navigating her own next career move while getting more and more messages asking for help with resumes, LinkedIn, positioning, and breaking into new roles. Amanda has navigated career changes of her own. So instead of giving you another list of job search hacks, they’re looking at the entire process differently.

Think about it.

You are the product.
Your ideal companies are the audience.
Your resume and LinkedIn are the messaging.
Networking, applications, referrals, and your personal brand are the distribution.
The interview is the conversion.

But before any of that works, you need to answer a much bigger question:

What do you actually want to be hired to do next?

Laura and Amanda talk about getting clear on your next move, positioning transferable skills, telling a better career story, using LinkedIn intentionally, networking, dealing with rejection, pivoting industries, and separating a job search strategy that isn’t working from the belief that you aren’t good enough.

You’re not just looking for another job. You’re deciding what you want your next chapter to look like.

Pull up a chair. Sip your Americano. And breathe. ☕️ We got you!

LinkedIn Learning is a great resource for exploring new skills, strengthening your professional profile, and building confidence as you prepare for your next career move.
