Inspire Careers Spotlight Series

Are you ready to kick off your job search in 2025? Think again!

Forget starting with your resume or LinkedIn profile, I’ll show you how to prepare smarter and set yourself up for career success like never before.

Here’s what you'll learn:

• Why ditching your resume (for now) will make your job search more effective

• The secrets to collecting the right metrics to showcase your achievements

• How to identify and close skill gaps that could hold you back

• The power of storytelling and how it transforms interviews and networking conversations

• Simple ways to boost your credibility (think podcasts, articles, and recommendations!)

I’ll also share tips on how to confidently network during the holiday season, prep for a successful resume update, and even get that professional headshot you’ve been putting off.

Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, a complete career pivot, or just exploring your next step, this episode will give you the tools and confidence to hit the ground running.

Start prepping now, and you’ll thank yourself later.
