How to AI-Proof Your Job 26:33

منذ 18 weeks26:33

26:33

Is Artificial Intelligence (AI) stealing jobs? Is it a friend or foe for job security? Tessa interviews founder and CEO of CMS Consultants, Cheryl Swirnow. They discuss how AI fits into today’s workplace and how to use it to your advantage. Other topics include job stacking, wellness washing, and how to interview your potential employer. You can find Cheryl Swirnow at https://www.cms-consultants.com/ Job stacking is the practice of working two or more full-time jobs simultaneously. It's become increasingly popular in the age of remote work, as it can be easier to juggle multiple roles when they don't require commuting or being physically present in an office. Wellness washing is a term used to describe when a company appears to prioritize employee wellbeing, but in reality, their actions don't match their words. It's essentially a form of corporate hypocrisy where companies create a facade of caring about their employees' mental and physical health without truly investing in supportive programs or policies. Interview your future employer It's crucial to remember that a job interview is a two-way street. While the employer is evaluating your fit for the role, you should also be assessing if the company aligns with your career goals and values. Before the interview, research the company's culture, values, and recent news, and prepare thoughtful questions based on your priorities. During the interview, actively listen to their responses, paying attention to both their words and how they deliver them. If the interview is in-person, take note of the workplace environment and see if it feels collaborative and supportive. Don't hesitate to confidently ask your questions, weaving them naturally into the conversation to gain a deeper understanding of the company and the role.

Did I Just Make the BIGGEST MISTAKE of my Professional Career? 16:03

منذ 19 weeks16:03

Landon was let go from being a CFO and after much looking for jobs accepted the position of Senior Accountant. (A significant step down) Is it possible that Landon just tanked his career/earning potential/and employment trajectory? It's possible. But not if he follows the advice of The Job Doctor. It might seem counterintuitive, but taking a lesser role after being a CFO can actually be a smart career move. It's all about perspective. Maybe you're prioritizing work-life balance or want to dive deep into a new area. This "step back" could be a strategic leap forward – think of it as a chance to explore a new industry or master a specific skill. Don't let your CFO experience go to waste! Mentor your colleagues, sharing your financial wisdom. This keeps you sharp and establishes you as a leader, even without the title. Jump into projects that let you flex those strategic thinking muscles. Show everyone what you're capable of! Networking is key, no matter where you are in your career. Stay connected with your old CFO crew, but also build relationships in your new role. A wider network means more opportunities. Finally, be ready to explain your decision. Frame it positively – talk about your motivations and goals. And when you discuss your experience, highlight those transferable skills. You've got this! Stepping back doesn't mean stepping down. With the right mindset and approach, it can be a powerful move for your career.

26:42

Tessa speaks to fellow podcaster and career coach, Erica Sosna. Erica shares the keys to understanding your career choices and using that clarity to seek roles that maximize your potential. They discuss the following topics. How do you pitch yourself when you’ve had a non-linear career trajectory? What should you focus on when applying to jobs? How do you find your “thriving zone” when searching for a new role? In storytelling, the "golden thread" is the core concept or theme that weaves through every element of the narrative, providing unity and purpose. It's what keeps the audience engaged and invested, guiding them through the twists and turns of the plot. Similarly, when you're crafting your story for potential employers, your golden thread is your personal brand or unique value proposition. It's the consistent message you convey about your skills, experience, and goals, demonstrating how you align with the company's needs and values. Just as a strong golden thread creates a compelling story, a clear and concise personal brand helps you stand out from the crowd and land your dream job. It's about showcasing your strengths, highlighting your achievements, and demonstrating why you're the perfect fit for the role and the organization.

If you are not comfortable doing it in the moment, you can pull the person aside after the meeting. Avoid becoming a ghost by saying nothing. Utilize the GAP Model for conflict resolution. Make sure to always assume good intent. What I expected… What I observed… Is that what you intended, or do you see it differently? What can I do to prevent this from happening in the future? If someone is talking over you, try, “Stop. I have something to say.” Keep presentations short and to the point. Avoid giving too much data. Check for engagement during presentations by asking what information will be most useful and going straight there.
