146. Navigating Rejection in Your Job Search

Rejection is part of the job search process. But here’s the thing: how you handle rejection determines how fast you reach your goals. In this episode, I share examples of highly success women of color who faced hundreds of rejections in their career and how they were able to move forward. I also share how I personally dealt with a deep, soul-crushing rejection in my own career journey. Lastly, I give a three step process you can implement to navigate rejection, even when it feels like you’re getting no after no after no.  If you’re feeling discouraged in your job search, this episode is for you!  Referenced Episodes 34.

145. How to Ask for a Raise

In this episode, I go over the finer details on how to ask for a raise. These are the exact steps my client used to get a $15K raise this month, even after being in the same job for years. I cover logistics, such as when you should ask for a raise, what data you should have prepared from your day-to-day responsibilities, and what data you should get from other companies that are hiring for similar roles. I also cover the mindset that you need to ask for a raise, and I even share some of the affirmations that I’ve used when I’ve asked for raises in the past. Lastly, I explain how you can practice detachment while asking for a raise, and even give an example of how a former client recently asked for another raise and promotion while feeling calm, grounded, and fully detached from the outcome.  Reference Episodes 126.

142. How to Get More Job Interviews

This episode will completely transform the way you apply to jobs. Yes, I go over what to include in your resume. But your resume alone is NOT what’s gonna drive more job interviews. It’s about being strategic to what type of jobs you’re applying for, where you’re finding them, and how to ensure a human looks at your application. These are the steps my clients have used to get job offers and over $600,000 in salary increases.  If you’re tired of endlessly scrolling LinkedIn and drawing a blank at where high-paying jobs are posted, this episode is for you.
