🎬📹 😩 HATE VIDEO JOB INTERVIEWS?

If you're looking for a job your initial job interviews will likely be on video. If you want to stand out on LinkedIn you need to create a Cover Story video. (See my video below on how to do that.)

Join Gillian Whitney, Video Marketing Coach, and me on Friday to learn video techniques, including how to be comfortable on camera. Don't miss this opportunity, Gillian is a real pro.

🙀👀❓ LOOKING FOR A JOB?

If your job search isn't going anywhere, it might be because you're listening to bad job search advice. There's a lot of it out there.

I carefully vet the professionals who moderate in the Smarter Career Moves Club on Clubhouse to make sure they can provide insights and actionable advice.

Upcoming topics include - what the "candidate" market is (and what it isn't), making sure your LinkedIn profile is working for you, how to know when it's time to quit your job, and more.

Join me in the Smarter Career Moves Club on Clubhouse Wednesdays and Thursdays, 2:00 pm Eastern 👋

(FYI, no rooms this week as I'm at a conference.)
