About Exit To Excel Podcast

Layoffs are more than just a career setback—they’re a deeply personal experience that shakes your confidence, security, and sense of self-worth.

This podcast is for anyone navigating the emotional and practical challenges of job loss.

Stop Applying Everywhere: Why Volume Is Costing You Offers | Exit To Excel

If you’ve been submitting application after application and hearing nothing back, the problem probably isn’t your experience, it’s the strategy. For mid-career professionals, applying everywhere feels responsible. It restores structure, creates a sense of progress, and gives you something measurable to do after a layoff or during a quiet search. But at your level, volume doesn’t create momentum, it quietly erodes clarity, confidence, and positioning.In this episode of Exit to Excel, we break down why the “numbers game” advice works against experienced professionals, how volume turns strong careers into scattered narratives, and what actually creates traction in today’s hiring market.This isn’t about working harder or applying more.It’s about understanding how mid-career hiring really works — and how to move from motion to strategy.#ExitToExcel #MidCareerProfessionals #JobSearchStrategy #CareerAfterLayoff #ExecutiveSearch #CareerClarity #LeadershipCareers #HiddenJobMarket #ProfessionalPositioning #CareerTransitionSUBSCRIBE TO THIS CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@ExitToExcel SOCIAL MEDIA: -FOLLOW Exit To Excel on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@exittoexcel -FOLLOW Exit To Excel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/exittoexcel/ AUDIO -LEAVE a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/exit-to-excel-podcast/id1818659967-STREAM on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6xJt7D1UQGgwwgM8XhoNmCShow Email: Exittoexcel@gmail.com

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
