Are you looking for a job? Then this episode is for you.
Getting to a job interview is hard. We get nervous, don't know what to say, or forget who we are. The best thing you can do is be yourself cause the employers already have your resume and know your talents and skill; they just want to know you on a personal level.
To be different is to be memorable, and companies hire the people they remember the most. Now relax because if you are different and have something to offer, you are already one step closer to being hired.
Our guest Michelle Sohl knows very well what employers are looking for in 2022, and she is here to spill the tea.
Press play, take notes, and enjoy!
