1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to How to Money. I'm Joel and I am 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: mat and today we're talking getting paid in a career 3 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: you love with Eleanna Goldstein. Yeah. 4 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: So, unemployment right now is basically at all time lows. 5 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: The Bureau of. 6 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 2: Labor Statistics reported last month the crazy low rate of 7 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 2: three point seven percent. That is really tough to beat. 8 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 2: But that doesn't mean everyone is super happy with their jobs. 9 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 2: A recent poll showed that around sixty percent of workers 10 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,560 Speaker 2: were planning to leave their jobs by the end of 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 2: the year. That doesn't not sound like a bunch of 12 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 2: happy workers to me, and regardless if it's because they're 13 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: not getting paid enough or maybe because the work isn't 14 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: a good fit. We are so excited to be joined 15 00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 2: by career coach Ellianna Goldstein. She such a deep understanding 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 2: of both the personal and professional challenges individuals face in 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: their careers, and she works to empower her clients to 18 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 2: discover their crew potential, just guiding them through personalized strategies 19 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: that will help them to achieve their career goals.

We're going to 23 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 2: talk about all that more today. Thank you for joining us. 24 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,320 Speaker 3: Of course, thank you for having me. I'm very excited 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: to talk about all this as well. 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I guess how can I get Matt to 27 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: pay me more? Elliana? And that's my said, no, first 28 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: question we ask everybody a great job, Oh, thank you. 29 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: The first question we ask everyone who comes on this 30 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: show is what's their craft beer equivalent? And that means, well, 31 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: Matt and I we spend a ridiculous amount of money 32 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: some would say on craft beer, but we're still saving 33 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: and investing for our future me and whyse at the 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: same time, So what's that for you? What's that splurge 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: item in your life? 36 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 3: So I would say this splurge item in my life 37 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 3: currently is skinting care products. I feel like, as i'm 38 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 3: you know, when I feel is getting older, I'm thinking 39 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 3: more so just about aging and those types of things. 40 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 4: So I definitely spend more money on that than I should. 41 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: And I am such a sucker for Instagram ads, and 42 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: obviously they very much have targeted me. It's just like 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 3: I'm constantly getting ads for different skincare products and it's 44 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 3: so easy to purchase on Instagram, and I'm just like, okay, 45 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 3: we'll do another one. Let's just throw it in the 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: medicine cabinet. So that's definitely my problem. 47 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: It's amazing how the algorithm knows us better than we 48 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 1: know ourselves. Yeah. Oh, it's kind of freaky. 49 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 2: It knows our deepest fears and exactly. 50 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 4: They prey on those insecurities for sure. 51 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,360 Speaker 2: It's so funny. I mean, it's just the stage of 52 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: life we're in. Like, just before we hit record, we're 53 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: joking about your husband and his need to go see 54 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: his physical therapist. Joel just went and got a stretched 55 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 2: session on I guess his hamies. We're barking out. 56 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: Of a little bit. Yeah, I mean that maintenance swinger 57 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: totally relate. Yeah, you didn't think you would in your twenties, 58 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: but now you do. 59 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is crazy happens. 60 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 2: So let's talk about jobs, well careers specifically, like how 61 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: did you become a career expert? I guess we're gonna 62 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 2: let's we kind of want to get to know you 63 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: because we've recently met you. What is it that led 64 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: you down your current career path? 65 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I have a career path I'm sure that 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 3: many people will be able to relate to this. I 67 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 3: prior to career coaching, I worked in the ad tech 68 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 3: industry for about a decade. I was in ad sales, 69 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: and you know, like many people had graduated from college 70 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 3: marketing degree, was fortunate to find a job pretty quickly 71 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: and sort of just climb the typical career ladder. 72 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 4: I was a marketing coordinator. 73 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 3: I moved into account management and into sales, and on paper, 74 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: everything looked really good, but in terms of how I 75 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: was feeling internally, I was feeling very disconnected. I was 76 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: unhappy in what I was doing. But like many of us, 77 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 3: I had always been told, you know, pursue the money, 78 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: pursue the stability. You're lucky enough, you have a job. 79 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: So I sort of just kept pushing along that path. 80 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: And at a certain point I just said to myself, 81 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 3: I cannot do this another ten years, let alone another 82 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: two or three years. And I kind of made a 83 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: number of little pivots here and there, all hoping that 84 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: those would lead me to call it more satisfaction, more fulfillment, 85 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 3: but it didn't really happen, and at a certain point 86 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: I just kind of said, okay, I need to really 87 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 3: do a one eighty and I, you know, just like 88 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 3: went down this path of a lot of reflection and 89 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 3: introspection and doing market research and just talking to tons 90 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 3: of people, and that's what led me into coaching and realizing, Okay, 91 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: like this feels a lot more in alignment, this feels 92 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: a lot more. 93 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: That just makes sense for me. So while I was still. 94 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 3: Working, I went to a program to become a certified 95 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: professional coach and then started the business as a side 96 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: hustle like many people do, and did it as a 97 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 3: side hustle for a little bit, and then you know, 98 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 3: eventually went full time and now have been doing this 99 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 3: full time for four years. 100 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 4: So it's been a while journey. 101 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, So Matt. Matt started off this episode and 102 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: he did he kind of talked about some of the 103 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: current statistics, what's happening in the labor marketing. A lot 104 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 1: of what we're going to talk about. It's not all 105 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: about macroeconomic conditions and whether or not you're able to 106 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: progress in your career based on the unemployment rate or like, 107 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: but it does impact on our ability to job hop 108 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: right or to increase our pay. So I don't know 109 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 1: what what's your read on the job mark right now? 110 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: What's your take on how things look for job seekers? 111 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: Because they're not as good as they were. Conditions aren't 112 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: as good as they were like eighteen months ago. But 113 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: those yeah, that was also like unicorn sort of conditions. 114 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: So what do things look like now? 115 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 3: You know? I think, like you said, obviously, things are 116 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 3: definitely on their way to getting better. But I think 117 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 3: at the same time, it's still it's still a challenging market. 118 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: And some would say, like whereas you know, call it 119 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 3: eighteen months or even before that, Like a while before that, 120 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: it was much more of a job seeker market, right, 121 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 3: They had a lot more power and there was a 122 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 3: lot more opportunity. Now it's kind of shifting, or at 123 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 3: least for most job seekers, feels like it's shifting towards 124 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 3: more of an employer market where they have more of 125 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 3: the power and as a result, they can be a 126 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 3: little bit pickier about who they're going for, right And 127 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 3: as a result, job seekers also feel like to a 128 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: degree that maybe they have to settle. I can't necessarily 129 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: be as picky or choosy as I was in the past. 130 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 3: Maybe I can't negotiate as much as I have in 131 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 3: the past. So it's definitely it's challenging from that perspective, 132 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 3: and I think people feel frustrated with that. I think 133 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 3: just in general, you know, the pandemic has really turned 134 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: everything on its head, just in terms of how we 135 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 3: hire people and longer interview processes, which can be frustrating, 136 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,239 Speaker 3: and it's just a lot is different now and again, 137 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: while I think even from like six months ago, things 138 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: are feeling better, whereas I saw with a lot of 139 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 3: my clients called six months ago is a lot more 140 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: challenging to get an offer, and now I'm seeing that 141 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: turn around. But I still think we're not in this 142 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: place where yeah, like it's like if I want a 143 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: new job, I can put two or three months in 144 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: and easily get something new. 145 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: Right, It's not that simple anymore. 146 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: There's more equilibrium. 147 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 4: It sounds like call it yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. 148 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, well okay, So I mean aside for like, I 149 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: guess some of the obvious reasons that folks are unhappy, Like, 150 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 2: I guess, what have you seen from your clients that 151 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 2: are making them unhappy with their job? And I guess 152 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: I want to put this within the context of your 153 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: job as passion, passion work, right, like have we do 154 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: you think we sold folks at like a bill of goods? 155 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: That's not quite reality about loving what it is that 156 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 2: you do for work, or do you think that that's 157 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 2: something that people should actually be aiming for. 158 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm a very big believer that you should 159 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 3: love what you do. Now that doesn't I don't necessarily 160 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: believe in the idea of the dream job. I think 161 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: that is false marketing and that there's no job out 162 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 3: there that's perfect and every day is going to be 163 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 3: a pleasure. Right, There's always going to be challenges, there's 164 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 3: always going to be difficulties. 165 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: But I can't work for a reason, right exactly. 166 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 4: They call it work for a reason. 167 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm a believer that we 168 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: spend a third of our lives working. It shouldn't be 169 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 3: a place that's miserable for us every day, right. That 170 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 3: just seems terrible to spend a third of our lives 171 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: being miserable and something that we basically all have to 172 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 3: do in order to live and support ourselves. 173 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: That's right, And the other third of your life, that's 174 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: how you justify that. 175 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: Really nice mattress, I was going to say yes, oh yeah, 176 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: our mind meld. 177 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: To actually separate a little bit. Two thirds of your 178 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: life is awesome, and then you just got to figure 179 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: out the other time. 180 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 3: And again I'm not I don't try to be unrealistic that, 181 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: like odds, you're going to be so. 182 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 4: Happy every single day. 183 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 3: But I am a believer, like I always say, we should, 184 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 3: we should somewhat look forward to Monday mornings. Right, So 185 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: I and you mentioned before you were talking a little 186 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: bit about passions and this notion of you no passions 187 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 3: and driving a fulfilling career. I think that's a very misconcept, 188 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: big misconception. I think that pursuing your passions as a 189 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 3: means to get more career satisfaction and fulfillment does not work. 190 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 4: I think I talk a lot about. 191 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 3: Career values as the basis for feeling fulfilled and feeling 192 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 3: aligned because quite honestly, like I always give the example, 193 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 3: let's just say you're passionate about food, and you assume, okay, 194 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 3: I'm going to go get you know, a role in 195 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: something related to food in the food industry, even if 196 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: your manager is awful, if you're not able to be 197 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 3: creative in that role, if you don't have a work 198 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 3: life balance. 199 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 4: When that's something that you value. 200 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: You're going to be miserable, no matter how passionate you 201 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 3: are about food. 202 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 4: Right. 203 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, So there's a lot of other things we need 204 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: to be thinking about when it comes to career satisfaction. 205 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: Can you dive a little deeper on the values versus 206 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: passion thing? Because I think that's a really good point, 207 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: And I think you're one hundred percent right, Like, you 208 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: can do a job that you don't love if your 209 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: coworkers are the coolest people on the face of the planet. 210 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: Man like that, I wouldn't mind digging ditches with the 211 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: best people in the world, Like, I could be really happy. 212 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: So talk to me about the values verse passion thing 213 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: just a little bit more. 214 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, So when we think about career values, we're 215 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 3: thinking about things like creativity, autonomy, collaboration, adaptability, recognition. Right, 216 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: really getting clear on what is it that I value 217 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 3: most in my career and how do I make sure 218 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: that I can find those values in a team, in 219 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: an industry. 220 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 4: In a company. 221 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: Right Because again, as I said before, sure, maybe it 222 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 3: helps to work in the food industry if you love 223 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 3: working in the food industry, But if you're someone who 224 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: values collaboration and you're working completely autonomously in that role 225 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: in the food industry, you're never going to be happy, right, 226 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 3: So you really need to think about, Okay, what is 227 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 3: it that I value most specifically in my career and 228 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 3: sometimes your career values can look a little bit different 229 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 3: than your personal values, right Yeah, and then figuring out, Okay, 230 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 3: how do I find an environment that is supportive and 231 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 3: that is relatable from with those values? 232 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 2: So does it come down to identifying some of those 233 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: some of those values, some of the things that are 234 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 2: important to you when it comes to what it is 235 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: that your work should embody? Is that the first step 236 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 2: in determining if the job that you have is a 237 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: good fit. I guess what I'm looking for is I 238 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: was curious to see if you could give listeners any 239 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 2: like symptoms or red flags to look out for for 240 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: them to know that, hey, maybe it's time for a 241 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: new job. Is it just the mismatch of those value 242 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 2: use with what it is that your job is actually delivering. 243 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 4: So that's one of them. That's definitely one, I would say. 244 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: In terms of a few others, it's how much of 245 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 3: your work are you engaged in? 246 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: Right? 247 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: Like As an employee, we do a variety of different 248 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 3: projects and tasks, and you want to ask yourself on 249 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 3: a daily basis how much of I super engaged in 250 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 3: and how much am I disengaged in? And I generally 251 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: ideally want to see that you know, sixty to seventy 252 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: percent of the work you're super engaged in. So if 253 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 3: you are finding that most of what you're doing is 254 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 3: just you're completely dreading it. It's making you want to 255 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: rip your hair out, and you just can't imagine doing 256 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 3: this much longer, then that's obviously definitely a sign. 257 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 4: That's a big one. I would say. 258 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 3: Another big one is thinking about internal mobility and growth paths. 259 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 3: Is there an internal growth path that you see for 260 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 3: yourself at that company where you're going, whether it's lateral 261 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 3: movement or vertical movement. I want to move into a 262 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: managerial position, I want to move, you know, across to 263 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: a different department. Do I see that internal path for 264 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 3: myself here? And if not, that's definitely a big indicator 265 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 3: that you know something is not right. And then I 266 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 3: would say too, you know, we all hear the term 267 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 3: toxic work environment, but it is it is an important one. 268 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 3: Right If you're in an environment where you just your 269 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 3: manager is just you either don't get along with them, 270 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 3: or you're feeling like they're creating a really toxic culture. 271 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: You're uncomfortable in any way. Whether that's coming from a manager, 272 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: whether that's coming from a coworker, those are all signs 273 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 3: that it's definitely time to explore something new. 274 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: Okay, tell me when you're talking to clients, how often 275 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: is it the misalignment of values that is the main 276 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: reason for job switching, and how often is it pay? 277 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: My guess, my assumption is that the values thing is 278 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: typically actually a bigger reason why people want to switch jobs, 279 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: But then pay is also another reason. I think people 280 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 1: are like, hey, cool, I actually don't mind my job. 281 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it's not perfect, but my goodness, it feels like 282 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: I should be getting paid thirty k more. Was that? Yeah? 283 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: What does those conversations look like? 284 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 3: It's a great question, I think, you know, I think, 285 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: on a surf the surface, a lot of the times 286 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 3: it's pay right, and people kind of feel like I 287 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 3: could be making. 288 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 4: A lot more than I am right now. 289 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: But it's almost like then when you kind of take 290 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 3: a deeper look at things, there's there's almost always a 291 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,960 Speaker 3: values misalignment too. So so pay feels like the easy 292 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: thing because it's just it's it's so easy to evaluate it, 293 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: but we never really think about it or taught, oh, 294 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 3: let me think about my career values. Right, it's not 295 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: like a topic of conversation. So a lot of the 296 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 3: times there's a misalignment there and we're just not aware 297 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 3: of it. And it just requires some digging and some 298 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 3: reflection and some you know, like I call it doing 299 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 3: like the self audit of yourself and taking time to 300 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 3: really think. 301 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 4: Through all of that. 302 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: That makes sense. 303 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 2: It makes sense that so oftentimes we do think about 304 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: pay because it's such a quantifiable thing. 305 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean those other things that. 306 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: It's a personal scorecard like how much of a raise 307 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 2: did I get this year versus last year? But like 308 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 2: you said, I love So it's almost like a medical condition, 309 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 2: like with your body, Like oftentimes you get a headache, 310 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: like no matter what, whether you're dehydrate did whether you've 311 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 2: got the flu, whether, I don't know all these things. 312 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: A lot of times maybe the surface symptom might be 313 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: something like a headache, but in reality it's just like 314 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: wait a minute, let's talk about some of the deeper 315 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 2: issues that are going on here. And I think that's 316 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 2: totally true with what you're saying in regards to values. 317 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: But I mean that being said, we're out of money here. 318 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 1: Eliotta, how I get it. 319 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: I get it, yet not how to not how to 320 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: value although maybe we we want that for people like 321 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: which that we want that for ourselves for sure? Yeah, 322 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 2: and specifically, I'm curious because I feel like one of 323 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 2: the first steps towards us. I mean, obviously you can 324 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 2: go to different job postings and boards and different things 325 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 2: and ask around and figure out maybe what it is 326 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: that equivalent similar positions are getting paid. But how would 327 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 2: you recommend even to just bring up the topic of 328 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 2: pay at work? Is that something that you recommend doing 329 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 2: with co workers? Does that seem like gossip? Do a 330 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 2: lot of managers? Do they disapprove that kind of talk. 331 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 2: I'm curious to hear your thoughts and your experience. 332 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think obviously it's great because transparency 333 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 3: is becoming, you know, a much bigger topic right now, 334 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 3: and people are getting more comfortable sharing those things. And 335 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: I think it is important because there needs to be 336 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 3: equity in that From that perspective, and we won't know 337 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 3: what's going on unless we ask someone, right, So you know, 338 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: I think it's it's like it's it depends on some 339 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 3: people are much more comfortable talking about that than others. 340 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 3: I would say, like, maybe if you have a coworker 341 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: who you're really close with and who you feel comfortable with, 342 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 3: then absolutely, you know, approach that conversation and see what's 343 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 3: going on. 344 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 2: Right. 345 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 4: I wouldn't necessarily just be like. 346 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 3: Going up to people or you know that you're not 347 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 3: as connected with, Hey, like, let's talk about how much 348 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: we're making. 349 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: Right, I'd like to do it with the urnal next 350 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: to somebody random, Hey, Jim, how much you getting paid? 351 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: You know, it's just it's really fun. Yeah, for the 352 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 1: more PC company white slack, Yeah. 353 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: Can you imagine, oh my god, in the slack of 354 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 3: they would people be freaking out? But yeah, I think 355 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 3: that it is an important conversation to be having, especially 356 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 3: with your peers and the people that are on the 357 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 3: same level as you too. Again, make sure you know, 358 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 3: like am I being underpaid? 359 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: Right? 360 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 3: You need to know that kind of information. I do 361 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: also think it's important to have those conversations with your manager. 362 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,359 Speaker 3: They might not be as excited about having those conversations, 363 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: and a lot of the time it's also complicated for them, right, 364 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 3: Like they don't necessarily control those budgets, right, So they 365 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 3: might have employees that they would love to pay more 366 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 3: and would love to give a promotion or raise to, 367 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: but there's a lot of people above them that are. 368 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 4: Those decision makers. 369 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 3: But I still think that if you do the proper 370 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 3: market research right, and it's pretty easy, there are so 371 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 3: many like tools and resources out there to see, you know, 372 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 3: based on my job title in the city that I'm 373 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: in and my years of experience, what is the average 374 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: pay for the role that I'm in and where am 375 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 3: I falling in line with that? And if you're seen 376 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 3: that what you're getting paid is significantly below, then maybe 377 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 3: from there you go to, Okay, let me like tap 378 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: a coworker of mine that I feel really comfortable with 379 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 3: and see like, is this a company wide. 380 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 4: Thing or is this just a me thing? 381 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 3: And obviously if it's a company wide thing, it might 382 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 3: be a little bit harder to change things because now 383 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 3: you're talking about, yeah, like company wide change. This just 384 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,679 Speaker 3: might be a company that like vastly underpays people, in 385 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 3: which case you might just need to find something else. 386 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 3: But if right skadata, Yeah, but if you are speaking 387 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 3: to a coworker and you find out, oh wow, no, 388 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: they're getting paid significantly more than me for doing pretty 389 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 3: much the same job, then it definitely requires a conversation 390 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 3: with your manager in which you know, you want to 391 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 3: approach it respectfully and you're never going down and banging 392 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 3: down someone's store saying you have to pay me more. Right, 393 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 3: But there's a way that you can, you know, say, 394 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,120 Speaker 3: you know, like I, based on some research that I've 395 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: been doing and some conversations I've had, I've come to 396 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 3: find out that I am, you know, being paid a 397 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 3: lot less than others in a similar role. And you know, 398 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 3: I really work hard to bring value to this organization. 399 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 3: And I'm appreciative of what you provide, of what I've 400 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 3: the opportunities I've had here, but i want to make 401 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 3: sure that you know I'm being fairly compensated like everybody else. Right, 402 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 3: there's a way to have the conversation that is respectful 403 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: and from a confidence standpoint, and that isn't just you know, 404 00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 3: patronizing or demanding. 405 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 1: So don't just slash your manager's hires when you find 406 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:17,919 Speaker 1: out you're getting underpaid. Is that what you're saying? 407 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, probably, bit of recommend that. 408 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: Cool, just want to make sure for future reference. Okay, 409 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: so what about you in your counseling someone and they're 410 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what they do next. How often 411 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: is it necessary to go about getting an additional degree 412 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: or certification or something like that in order to get 413 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: paid more? Like, you know, my wife is in grad 414 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,439 Speaker 1: school right now, she's still to become a therapist. Like, 415 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 1: that's kind of a necessity, right. You can't just like 416 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: call yourself a therapist and start doing the work. You 417 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: can trouble for that to here. So yeah, how often 418 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,240 Speaker 1: are you steering people in that direction? Well, okay, wait, 419 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: if that's really what you want to do, or if 420 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 1: you want to get paid at that level, you're going 421 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:56,399 Speaker 1: to need some more training. 422 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 3: Yeah, this is another really big misconception. And and like 423 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 3: you said before, obviously your wife wants to be a 424 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 3: therapist one hundred percent. 425 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 4: We've got to go to school for that. 426 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 3: And obviously we know all the degrees like becoming a lawyer, 427 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 3: becoming a doctor, right, Like, there are certain things that 428 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 3: you know there's no way around that. But I do 429 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 3: think that there is this immediate uh desire, not even desire, 430 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,880 Speaker 3: but like pressure to get additional schooling and get more 431 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 3: education and certifications and all these various things that a 432 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,919 Speaker 3: lot of the time is not necessary. And I always 433 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 3: tell my clients because they'll come to me and say, say. 434 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 4: I want to do this. 435 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 3: Do you think I should get this certificate? Do you 436 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 3: think I should go get this master's degree? And I'm like, Okay, 437 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 3: let's pump the brakes. Let's really do the market research 438 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 3: first to figure out whether that is even necessary. 439 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: Right, what's the going to be. There's a lot of 440 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,239 Speaker 1: people with MBAs and they just assume that that's going 441 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: to meaningfully increase their income, and that's just not nearly that. 442 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 1: That's not always a. 443 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 4: P exactly I have. 444 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 3: I mean I not to you know, get down on 445 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 3: people who have their MBAs, and I know that they're 446 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 3: very proud of it, but I think that that's a 447 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: degree that in a lot of scenarios. Again, there are 448 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 3: unique situations, but in most scenarios isn't as necessary. 449 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 4: And I think. 450 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 3: MBAs in general are are a means to, you know, 451 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 3: build a network and develop connections that can help you 452 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: in that next phase of your career. But I'm also 453 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 3: a big believer that anyone can build a network and 454 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 3: develop connections on their own, and you don't need to 455 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 3: go to schools for that. Right Again, I'm not downplaying 456 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 3: the significance of it. I know that that some people 457 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 3: love it. And if you love going to school, then 458 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 3: power to you, right, But don't feel like you have 459 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,360 Speaker 3: to do something in order to secure that next job. 460 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: All right, I'm one of my elementary school kids saying 461 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: it's time to drop out. 462 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: Let's well, like what you said, especially like it can 463 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,439 Speaker 2: make sense, especially if you are into learning, Like if 464 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 2: you are if you have always been a good student, 465 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 2: or maybe now that you have something that you are 466 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 2: really excited about, maybe now you will be a great student. 467 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: But it's not it shouldn't necessarily be a default assumption. 468 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 2: I love this more scrappy approach to it. But uh, Eliana, Like, 469 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 2: let's just say we've you know, we've taken some of 470 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 2: your tips. You know, we've asked around. We know that 471 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 2: our own job's not paying, so I'm gonna, you know, 472 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: put some applications out you land an interview. I have 473 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: an interviewed for a job in like over eighteen years 474 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 2: and I feel like a lot has changed, especially in 475 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: the past decade, And so what do folks need to 476 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: know in order to prepare if it's just been forever 477 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 2: since they've actually had a job interview. We were recently 478 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 2: talking to a friend of ours and first up is 479 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: make sure you're on time. He was cutting it close 480 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,360 Speaker 2: and so he parked in front of a fire HYDRANTU. Yeah, 481 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: he was willing to get the ticket because he's like, 482 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 2: I can't be late for the interview. In his case, 483 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 2: he lucked out. But for everybody else out there, aside 484 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 2: from making sure that you show up early, what tips 485 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 2: do you have for folks? 486 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: Yeah? 487 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: I got a lot of interview tips for sure, So 488 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 3: I would say first impressions count and they're very important. 489 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 4: So obviously showing up on time is part of that. 490 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,239 Speaker 3: But I forget exactly what the statistics statistic is. 491 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 4: But there's a statistic. 492 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 3: Around like how many hiring managers make a decision within 493 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 3: the first five or so minutes of the interview, meaning 494 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 3: that the way you answer those first few questions is 495 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,719 Speaker 3: going to be really really important, right, And what are 496 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 3: the first few questions? Usually it's tell me about yourself, 497 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 3: which is virtually what's your elevator pitch? And people do 498 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 3: not spend enough time prepping for that question. They just think, oh, 499 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 3: you know, tell me about yourself. Oh let me dive 500 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 3: into a five minute tangent all about my career, right exactly, 501 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,360 Speaker 3: and you've lost your interview. Your interview is like, oh 502 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 3: my god, I'm bored already. Right, so tell me about yourself. 503 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 3: Why this company and why why this industry? 504 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 4: Right? Like, why this role? Why this company, why this industry? 505 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,159 Speaker 3: So those are usually those first four questions, and so 506 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 3: I'm very much about like, let's make a strong first impression. 507 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: Let's hook them from the beginning so that they're engaged 508 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 3: and they're wanting to continue the conversation. So really work 509 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 3: on your elevator pitch. And when you think about an 510 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 3: elevator pitch, you really want to think about how can 511 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 3: I make this elevator pitch relevant to the role that 512 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,879 Speaker 3: I am applying for. Again, Like, people make that mistake 513 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: if they think that they need to tell their entire 514 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 3: career history. But if part of your career history is 515 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 3: irrelevant to this role, they don't care, right, don't tell 516 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 3: them that. So you got to really customize your answers 517 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: to the role that you're applying for. So that's a 518 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 3: really big one that I emphasize with people. Another really 519 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 3: important one is to know your gaps. 520 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 4: Right for every. 521 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 3: Candidate, you generally don't check every single box, and quite frankly, 522 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 3: you shouldn't check every box. If you check every box, 523 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,680 Speaker 3: you're gonna plateau really quickly in this role and you're 524 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 3: going to be bored out of your minds. Right, there 525 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 3: should be room for growth. So you want to know 526 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 3: what are some of those gaps, what are some of 527 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 3: the call it like potential red flags that interviewer has 528 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 3: about you, Because there's always going to be something, and 529 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,119 Speaker 3: how can you proactively get ahead of that, right, So 530 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: they're not the ones bringing it up and saying, well, 531 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 3: you know we noticed this about you, or you mentioned 532 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 3: you don't have this experience, right, and then immediately you're 533 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 3: almost like put on the defensive, and then maybe you stutter, 534 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 3: how do I respond to this? When you know, oh, 535 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 3: what those gaps might be, you can proactively bring it 536 00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 3: up and address it in a really confident way, right 537 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 3: and be able to say, hey, you know, you know 538 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: I wanted to address this because I know this was 539 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,919 Speaker 3: something that was mentioned on the job description. And you know, 540 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: while I don't have this experience directly necessarily, here's why 541 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,920 Speaker 3: I really truly don't believe that's an issue and why 542 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 3: I know I'll still be able to deliver in this role. 543 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 4: Like just presenting that level of confidence, are going to go, oh, okay, 544 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,719 Speaker 4: that was great. You know now I'm less concerned about it. 545 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 3: So those are a couple things to think about as 546 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,480 Speaker 3: you're going into prepare for an interview. 547 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: That's so good. Yeah, I love that, super helpful. But yeah, 548 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: like I said, Matt, like I don't know, I kind 549 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: of hope I never have to interview anywhere ever again, 550 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,520 Speaker 1: but a lot of people will, especially with kind of 551 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: our generation Millennials and Gen Z. Yeah, we're going to 552 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,479 Speaker 1: have a lot more jobs than our parents did. So 553 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 1: we don't want to touch on that and get to 554 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: some questions on that. And you actually say there's an 555 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: opportunity cost to staying too long in your job too. 556 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 1: I want to dig in on that. We'll get to 557 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: some questions on that front right after this break. 558 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 2: We are back from the break, and we're talking about 559 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 2: getting paid in a career that you do, in fact 560 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 2: love with Eleanna Goldstein and Eleana the just generally speaking, 561 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 2: like the dynamic between employer and employee. It's changed a 562 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 2: great deal over the past few years. You were touching 563 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 2: on that and how it's been incredibly dynamic. Yeah, I'll 564 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 2: just say that, and most of our listeners like they're 565 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 2: going to have a slew of different jobs, I think, 566 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: far more than people who are thirty years their senior 567 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 2: and switching jobs. Yeah, that's what I want to talk 568 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 2: about because that can lead to a significant pay raise. 569 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: But how often can someone take that tactic because at 570 00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 2: a certain point, like it seems like it's going to 571 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 2: come back. 572 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: To bite you. I would love to hear you just 573 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: tackle this topic. 574 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you know it's there's a healthy balance. 575 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 3: And I don't recommend staying in a job just so 576 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 3: that you can ensure you've been there long enough and 577 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 3: it looks good from a resume perspective if that job 578 00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 3: is making you miserable, right, Like, don't just I've heard people, Oh, 579 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 3: I can't leave this job. I've only been there for 580 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 3: fourteen months. I literally am crying myself to sleep every night, 581 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 3: but I got to make it another ten months. 582 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 4: No, we don't need to do that right. 583 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: But at the same time, we shouldn't just be like 584 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 3: looking to jump to a new job every one to 585 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 3: two years. 586 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,959 Speaker 4: So we got to kind of figure out what is 587 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 4: that healthy balance. 588 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 3: I would say, realistically, if you can find a company 589 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 3: that you really love, that you're enjoying the work you're doing, 590 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 3: and that is that you're pain that's paying you, well, 591 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: that's the ideal, right. I think there's also there's a 592 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 3: big misconception that with millennials and gen z that all 593 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 3: we want to do is job hop The truth is 594 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 3: that most employees would like to stay at a place, 595 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 3: you know, for a long period of time, assuming they 596 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 3: have the growth potential and the growth opportunities there. But 597 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 3: if you're someone who you know is kind of like, 598 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: what's the ideal number to you know, or to think. 599 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 4: About how often I should switch jobs? I would say, 600 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: you know, probably call it. 601 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 3: Like every three to four years, I think is realistic. 602 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: Okay, Lie, you mentioned there's an opportunity cost to staying 603 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,640 Speaker 1: at your job too. I Mett and I talk about 604 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 1: the opportunity costs of money all the time on the show. 605 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: So what's the opportunity cost to your career if you 606 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: end up staying in the same place too long. 607 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 608 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 3: So, I mean, obviously there's the obvious one that you 609 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 3: guys were just mentioning from a you know, from a 610 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: salary perspective that if you aren't being paid or compensated fairly, 611 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 3: and you're not getting promotions and raises that are you know, 612 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 3: more than just like the rate of inflation, right, then 613 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 3: you need to be moving elsewhere, right, and then you 614 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 3: need to be able to get those pig big pay raises, 615 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 3: which are often you know, can be like ten or 616 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 3: twenty percent when you switch jobs. But beyond that, there's 617 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 3: also the skill sets of cline. So when you're staying 618 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 3: in a role that you're really not enjoying that just 619 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 3: isn't engaging you, your skills start to plateau, and then 620 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 3: you become a less marketable candidate because you're not consistently 621 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 3: upskilling and developing you know, new skill sets. 622 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,920 Speaker 4: So that's a really big one for sure. What are 623 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 4: some other ones? 624 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 3: I also think just generally, when you are at a 625 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 3: job that's making you really miserable, it starts to bleed 626 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 3: into other areas of your life, right. 627 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 4: I think, like we all know the person. 628 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 3: Who hates their job and just events about it twenty 629 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 3: four to seven, and that has a really big call 630 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 3: it opportunity cost and impact on your mental health. It 631 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,959 Speaker 3: has an impact on your relationships and the people around you. 632 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,439 Speaker 3: So I think it's you know, it's so important to 633 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 3: think about salary and being able to boost our salary 634 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: by job hopping, but there are other, you know factors 635 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 3: as well. 636 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 4: When we stay in a job too long, that can 637 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 4: be detrimental. 638 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 1: That's right, Okay, I'll adjust a couple of things. First. 639 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: Did I hear you say that most folks can expect 640 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: like somewhere between like ten and twenty percent when they 641 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 2: do move to another company. 642 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: Is that fairly typical? 643 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say it's fairly typical. 644 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 3: Obviously, I'd say like ten to twenty percent on average, 645 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 3: with you know, some people, maybe it's less, but I 646 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 3: mean I've seen people increase their salary by like fifty 647 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: or anymore. 648 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, no, that makes sense. 649 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: And the other thing I was going to say too, 650 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 2: is you're kind of talking about how millennials in particular, 651 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: and certainly even with gen Z, how you were saying that, like, 652 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 2: I don't think that they're necessarily only looking to increase 653 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,120 Speaker 2: their pay. But what's interesting it makes me think back 654 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,239 Speaker 2: to what you were saying earlier and how oftentimes we 655 00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 2: do revert to our salary because it is something that 656 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: you can look at and put your finger on and 657 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 2: it's so clearly identifiable, and I like and even I 658 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 2: think there might be a few instances where it takes 659 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 2: a few job hops to realize that that isn't going 660 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: to solve all your problems. To realize that, oh man, 661 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: actually it is about the people.

From those interviews, they get an offer, 685 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 3: they move on to that next job, and then six 686 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 3: months in, a year later, they feel exactly the same, right. 687 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 3: You know, maybe they're making a little bit more money, 688 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,880 Speaker 3: but like you said, they're realizing, oh, it's not just 689 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:40,719 Speaker 3: about the money. 690 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 4: And a lot of what I try. 691 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: To tell people is that prior to making any type 692 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 3: of change, whether it's a big pivot, whether it's a 693 00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 3: small pivot, whether it's you know, staying in the same 694 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 3: exact role, but in going to a new company, you 695 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 3: have to pause and really do that introspection and reflection 696 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 3: and ask yourself, what is it that I need way 697 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 3: about my role and what is it that I don't enjoy? 698 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 3: You know what are again like career values, what are 699 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 3: the things that are what are my non negotiables, what 700 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 3: is important to me? So that you can really figure 701 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 3: out and gain the clarity on what exactly am I 702 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 3: looking for and then be able to kind of almost 703 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 3: vet opportunities against that to give yourself more of an 704 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 3: assurance that, Okay, in this next move, I'm actually going 705 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 3: to be a lot happier than I am right now 706 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 3: and get paid better than I am right now. 707 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been obviously a lot talked about about networking 708 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: and how important that is to your ability to kind 709 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: of score the job that you want. And it certainly 710 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: seems like that's how a decent chunk of people end 711 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: up getting the next position that is going to pay 712 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: them more. Is it's the people who they know, maybe 713 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: they've worked with before they moved on to another company whatever, 714 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: So how important is that? And also, I guess I 715 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: would love to hear you touch on resumes, and it 716 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: certainly seems like AI is more involved in kind of 717 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:59,479 Speaker 1: reading resumes these days, Like how do we game our 718 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: resume to get the interview as opposed to kind of 719 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: getting it kicked to the curb. 720 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, So touching on networking. 721 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 3: You know you said, it seems like a lot of 722 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 3: folks are doing this networking relationship building is the way 723 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 3: to get jobs. This is so much of what I 724 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 3: focus on. I am a very big believer that spending 725 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 3: your time applying for jobs online is quite literally a 726 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 3: huge waste of time, especially in this market that is 727 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 3: still very competitive, right, So I really like to focus 728 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 3: on Like one statistic I always tell my clients is 729 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 3: that in a survey that was done, I don't remember 730 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 3: if it was by indeed, I forget exactly who conducted it, 731 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:42,120 Speaker 3: but or this study, this you know projects show that 732 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 3: referrals account for seven percent of job applications, yet they 733 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 3: drive forty percent of the hires, whereas standard application methods 734 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: like applying for jobs online, job sites things like that 735 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 3: account for seventy five percent of job applications, yet they're 736 00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 3: only driving thirty six percent of the hires. So really 737 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 3: like the I always say, like, heay, what buckets you 738 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 3: want to play, and you want to play in the 739 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 3: bucket that's less saturated, right, less applications are coming from there, 740 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 3: but it's driving a much higher percentage of hires. So 741 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 3: it's really really important to focus on that tactic, and 742 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 3: also to not. 743 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 4: Limit yourself to, Oh, who do I already know? 744 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 3: Right? Oh, this ex coworker of mine ended up at 745 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,719 Speaker 3: you know, ABC company, Let me talk to them. You 746 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 3: can always develop new connections, right. We're lucky to live 747 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 3: in a world in generation where we have access to 748 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 3: things like LinkedIn, where there are millions and millions and 749 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 3: millions of people there who are a message away. Right, 750 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 3: There's who's to say that you can't, like develop a 751 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 3: new connection with someone at a company you really want 752 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 3: to work for or learn more about and have a 753 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 3: conversation with them, right, So really thinking about that and 754 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: like expanding the network beyond who you're already connected. 755 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 4: With is a really big one and what I like 756 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 4: to focus on with people. 757 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 3: And then in terms of AI, yeah, you know, you know, 758 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 3: speaking of resumes and everything. 759 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 4: Like there's a lot of schools of thought that. 760 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 3: The resume is like soon going to go extinct, that 761 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 3: it just doesn't play as important of a role. Obviously 762 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,799 Speaker 3: that's not the case right now, Like most places you're 763 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 3: still going to need to use a resume. But I 764 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 3: think because of AI and how it's it's virtually leveled 765 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 3: the playing fields right now, anybody can have a good resume. 766 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 3: Anybody can go on chat GPT and you know, put 767 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,359 Speaker 3: in some of their skill sets and what they've done 768 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 3: and have you know, chat GPT help you spit out 769 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 3: some great bullets. 770 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:29,920 Speaker 4: I know there are a lot of people who are. 771 00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,920 Speaker 3: Like very against that and who think that there's a 772 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 3: huge problem with with AI from that perspective, But because 773 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,520 Speaker 3: it's so easy for anyone to have a strong and 774 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 3: competitive resume, it makes it. 775 00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 4: Even less significant. Right. 776 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 3: So again, and that goes by back to why networking 777 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 3: is so important and developing those relationships and if you 778 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 3: do want to get your resume in front of a 779 00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 3: hiring manager, the best way to do that is through 780 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 3: a referral who can say, hey, you know, my friend 781 00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,319 Speaker 3: Matt is wonderful and I think would be a great 782 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 3: fit from a team perspective, from a culture perspective, he's 783 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,480 Speaker 3: going to send in his resume. 784 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 4: Please be on the lookout. 785 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's amazing how the old school way is still 786 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: is still the modern way of getting a job, especially. 787 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,720 Speaker 2: When there's i mean there's just even more noise because 788 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,680 Speaker 2: of AI.

You know, maybe 882 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 3: I work in like a client of mine was worked 883 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,360 Speaker 3: in graphic design, right, and she wanted to make a 884 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 3: pivot and she was trying to figure out, Okay, you know, 885 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,240 Speaker 3: what do I enjoy what do I not enjoy? 886 00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,479 Speaker 4: And she noticed that. 887 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,120 Speaker 3: Every year she was in charge of hiring seasonal employees 888 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,920 Speaker 3: during the summer for these you know, specific projects that 889 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,799 Speaker 3: they had, and she really focused on, you know, recruiting 890 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 3: and hiring and onboarding. And she really recognized that she 891 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 3: like gravitated towards all these HR functions even though it 892 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 3: was only like ten percent of her role. But she 893 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 3: realized with that, Okay, you know what, it might make 894 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 3: sense for me to explore and make a pivot into HR. 895 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,800 Speaker 3: So just that that exercise area where am I gauge 896 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 3: where am I disengaged can help in figuring out, Okay, 897 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,760 Speaker 3: do I need to just make like a little switch 898 00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 3: to something else or do I need to make a 899 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:35,880 Speaker 3: much larger pivot. 900 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: I love that. 901 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 2: I think those are excellent questions to ask yourself, Eleana. 902 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 2: We've got a few more for you, specifically, want to 903 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 2: might kind of find our way talking about working from 904 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,879 Speaker 2: homes and so many folks are interested in that. We'll 905 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 2: get to all that more right after this. 906 00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 1: I we're back through the break. We're still talking with 907 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,840 Speaker 1: Eleanna Goldstein talking about getting paid in the career that 908 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 1: you love. Hopefully you're able to enjoy your work, get 909 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,880 Speaker 1: paid really well for doing it. Yeah, I mean, that's truly, 910 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 1: that's the goal. And here, you know what, in the 911 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 1: greatest country in the history of the world, at the 912 00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,239 Speaker 1: United States of America, that is possible. I just want 913 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,440 Speaker 1: to say that, Elliana, I want to talk about work 914 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 1: from home. Man, there's been some really interesting stats that 915 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 1: have come out recently that Matt and I have talked 916 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: about in the podcast about people who work from home 917 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: full time and hybrid work seems to kind of be 918 00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,360 Speaker 1: the way a whole lot of businesses have found themselves 919 00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: structuring the work week for many of their employees. But man, 920 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: it certainly seems like people who work from home full 921 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: time have fewer opportunities for advancements, less opportunity to get 922 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:42,520 Speaker 1: paid more, and more of a likelihood of getting laid 923 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,759 Speaker 1: off before their counterparts who are in the office full 924 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,480 Speaker 1: time or even part time. So how do you talk 925 00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:53,879 Speaker 1: to people who come to you for counseling? Is right? 926 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean, like, how nice is it to be able 927 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,200 Speaker 1: to avoid the commute? Yes, of course, but there's also 928 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,120 Speaker 1: the potential negative trade offs. 929 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. 930 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 3: No, it's definitely something that needs to be thought about 931 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 3: for sure, And look, I think that a company that 932 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 3: is still one hundred percent remote, my guess is that this, 933 00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,440 Speaker 3: I mean, it makes sense, Like if you're hundred percent remote, 934 00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,000 Speaker 3: this isn't as much an issue. So we really are, 935 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,719 Speaker 3: like you were saying before, we're talking about hybrid work 936 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,000 Speaker 3: environments where maybe there's the option to come into the 937 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,800 Speaker 3: office and some employees are and then for some employees 938 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 3: they're choosing to stay from home. So obviously, if you 939 00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:28,719 Speaker 3: are at a company where there is the option to 940 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 3: go in and you are choosing to stay working from home, 941 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 3: you need to be then be thoughtful about what you're 942 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 3: doing while you're working from home, right, and you need 943 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 3: to make an additional effort to create that internal visibility 944 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,319 Speaker 3: when you're not physically in the office. So you know, 945 00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:47,799 Speaker 3: a lot of the reasons why these people are like 946 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,280 Speaker 3: if you're in the office, you're going to get promoted 947 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 3: more quickly, and you're going to be able to have 948 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,000 Speaker 3: those growth opportunities, and you're going to be less likely 949 00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,160 Speaker 3: to be laid off is because it is easier to 950 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,000 Speaker 3: have that internal visibility. You can go walk into your 951 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,160 Speaker 3: manager's office or you can go to like the CMO 952 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 3: whoever it is, and just like create that connection there, 953 00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 3: and that helps in terms of like having your name 954 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:12,640 Speaker 3: thrown in the ring for a potential promotion. 955 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,240 Speaker 4: Oh, Sally, of course, I know, Sally. 956 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 3: We're talking to her I last week, like, yeah, let's 957 00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:20,440 Speaker 3: let's let's give her that raise that she deserves versus Fred, 958 00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 3: who I haven't seen in six months. 959 00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,400 Speaker 4: Right, Like, it makes sense, It makes perfect sense. 960 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,120 Speaker 3: But I still do believe that you can create that 961 00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 3: internal visibility while you're working from home. And you know, 962 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 3: I often say, like when you first start a new job, 963 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,319 Speaker 3: those first call it ninety days are going to be 964 00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,360 Speaker 3: really significant, and one of the first things that you 965 00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 3: want to do is get your hands on an ORG 966 00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 3: chart if you can, and really be able to identify, Okay, 967 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 3: who do I think are the key players in my department? 968 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,319 Speaker 3: Who are the key players in this department that I'm 969 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 3: working with? Who are some of like the senior leaders 970 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,919 Speaker 3: that I think are going to be important and make 971 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,120 Speaker 3: the time to get in front of those people, even 972 00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 3: if it is virtually right, like getting on Slack or 973 00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 3: like teams whatever it is that you use and being like, hey, 974 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,720 Speaker 3: you know, I'm new here. I know that you're working 975 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 3: on this project or you're on this team, like would 976 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 3: love to, you know, just set up fifteen minutes to 977 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,960 Speaker 3: have a quick conversation with you and see, you know 978 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 3: where I can add value from the get go as 979 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 3: I start this new job, right that that can be 980 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 3: really helpful. So you just have to, like, if you're 981 00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 3: going to be working remotely and make that decision, then 982 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,279 Speaker 3: you do need to make an extra effort to do 983 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:24,200 Speaker 3: those types of things. 984 00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense. It's almost like the things that 985 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 1: happen naturally in the office you have to kind of 986 00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: catalyze and make them happen from afar. And I think, like, yeah, 987 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: we talk about the trade offs of that, but guess 988 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,360 Speaker 1: what working from home full time for some people, depending 989 00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: on how far they live from their job and so 990 00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 1: plus it opens it opens up the floodgates to other 991 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,759 Speaker 1: potential jobs they might not be able to get. And 992 00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: you know, you can apply for jobs across the country 993 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:51,759 Speaker 1: now thanks to work from home. Yeah, I guess I 994 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: want to ask you about that too, is how broad 995 00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: of the net should you cash? Should you be looking 996 00:43:55,520 --> 00:43:57,840 Speaker 1: purely for jobs that are where you are, Should you 997 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 1: be looking all the way in like Idaho or or Nebraska, 998 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,959 Speaker 1: where wherever jobs are across the country in a field 999 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 1: that you're interested in. 1000 00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think if you're one hundred percent 1001 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,799 Speaker 3: committed to working remotely and that's what you want to do, then, 1002 00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:12,400 Speaker 3: like you said, like the advantages, you can cast a 1003 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,080 Speaker 3: really wide net and you can be in New York 1004 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 3: and look for a job in Idaho. 1005 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:17,960 Speaker 4: Right as long as like the job is relevant. 1006 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,000 Speaker 3: Right, you want to focus specifically on jobs that are 1007 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 3: relevant towards what you want to do. But I say 1008 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 3: go for it, Like, the more opportunities the better if 1009 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,319 Speaker 3: that is something that you ultimately want to do. But 1010 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,320 Speaker 3: just as we're discussing, you have to then be aware 1011 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,879 Speaker 3: that with that there is more of a responsibility on 1012 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,719 Speaker 3: your end to create that internal visibility when you are 1013 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 3: working one hundred percent remotely. 1014 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:39,759 Speaker 1: I love that. 1015 00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 2: Are there are there any other ways? Do you have 1016 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,320 Speaker 2: any other tips to increase that visibility? I guess I 1017 00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,480 Speaker 2: think about one. I remember hearing somebody talk about the 1018 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 2: meeting before the meeting, and so oftentimes when it comes 1019 00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 2: to zoom, they were talking about, hey, go ahead and 1020 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,640 Speaker 2: jump in there early because the ability for you to 1021 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,439 Speaker 2: kind of have some of that banter is the kind 1022 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,319 Speaker 2: of small talk that you would have in the office, 1023 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 2: so in a very real, tangible way you are able 1024 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,680 Speaker 2: to kind of not imitate that, but you're providing it 1025 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,920 Speaker 2: at least providing space for that. I would love to 1026 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 2: hear if you have any other tips where folks can 1027 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 2: somehow achieve that. 1028 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that tip. I think it's very important. 1029 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 3: I also think, you know, it's all about communication, and 1030 00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 3: it's about letting people know that you are growth minded 1031 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,520 Speaker 3: and that you want to be there for the long term. 1032 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 4: Right. So that's why I say, like, the first ninety. 1033 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,759 Speaker 3: Days are really significant in a new role, and I 1034 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 3: think a lot of the times people start a new 1035 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 3: role and they're just focused on onboarding, let me you know, 1036 00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,920 Speaker 3: like get you know, like my feet on the ground, 1037 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 3: but advocate early on for you know, internal growth opportunities 1038 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 3: and letting your manager know, especially when you're remote, like hey, 1039 00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 3: I'm really excited about it. This is a type of 1040 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 3: work that I really enjoy. This is where I think 1041 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,239 Speaker 3: I can add the most value. This is where you know, 1042 00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,040 Speaker 3: I'd love to see myself grow in the next two 1043 00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 3: to three years in the role. Just show just talking 1044 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,879 Speaker 3: about that and letting them know that you you know 1045 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 3: you are thinking long term, is gonna like create a 1046 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,919 Speaker 3: certain connotation in their mind in terms of how they 1047 00:45:57,960 --> 00:45:58,279 Speaker 3: see you. 1048 00:45:58,400 --> 00:45:59,799 Speaker 4: Right, don't just like get the new. 1049 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,120 Speaker 3: Job and then be like, Okay, I'm remote, let me 1050 00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,600 Speaker 3: slink off and like do as little as I possibly can. Right, 1051 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 3: You got to make that extra effort and you have 1052 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 3: to have it be known what it is that you 1053 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 3: want to achieve within that role. I think, like another 1054 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 3: big call. I know I've said misconception a hundred times 1055 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,239 Speaker 3: on this episode, but a lot of the times we 1056 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 3: think that our work will speak for itself. 1057 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 4: Right. 1058 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 3: You know, I'm in a role. I'm doing what's expected 1059 00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,919 Speaker 3: of me. I'm hitting my goals. That should be enough 1060 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,040 Speaker 3: to get the promotions I want. That should be enough 1061 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,080 Speaker 3: to get the raises that I want and make more money. 1062 00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:32,960 Speaker 3: But again, unfortunately it just doesn't work that way, and 1063 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,439 Speaker 3: you have to tell people what it is that you want. 1064 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 1: Right. 1065 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,160 Speaker 3: You can't just let the work speak for itself. If 1066 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 3: you're doing everything necessary, but you're finding like, oh, I'm 1067 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 3: not getting the rays that I thought I was going 1068 00:46:44,239 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 3: to get. That means you probably have to have a 1069 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 3: conversation and you know, share with your manager. 1070 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 4: Hey, this is what I would like. 1071 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 3: You know, you have to participate in that self advocacy 1072 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 3: in order. 1073 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 4: To grow in your career. 1074 00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:57,160 Speaker 3: And that's why kind of similar to the notion of 1075 00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,319 Speaker 3: you know, it's not always the most qualified candidate, it's 1076 00:46:59,320 --> 00:46:59,759 Speaker 3: the best job. 1077 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,720 Speaker 4: See, it's the same thing at work. 1078 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,280 Speaker 3: You know, we always it's like Joe Schmoe is always 1079 00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 3: getting promoted, and you're like, Joe Schmo's. 1080 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:08,480 Speaker 4: Not that good at his job? Why is he always 1081 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,440 Speaker 4: getting promoted? Right? 1082 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,800 Speaker 3: But he's probably always Janis, Yeah, exactly, it's always Janis. 1083 00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:15,719 Speaker 3: It's probably because Janie is really good at self advocating 1084 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:18,480 Speaker 3: and she's also really good at creating that internal visibility. 1085 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 4: Right. 1086 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:20,319 Speaker 3: So there are a lot of you know, call it 1087 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,880 Speaker 3: like playing the game, but there are a lot of 1088 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 3: other factors we have to think about when it comes 1089 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:29,120 Speaker 3: to being able to to grow, you know, exponentially more 1090 00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:30,120 Speaker 3: quickly in our career. 1091 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 1: It makes me think of pro wrestlers. You know, they're 1092 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:35,080 Speaker 1: so good at promoting themselves there. It's like that they're 1093 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 1: so flashy and it's always like can you smell with 1094 00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: the rocket is cooking? And they're always you know, it's 1095 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: all about one hundred percent about the flash. It's about 1096 00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,840 Speaker 1: the individual, and yeah, you probably don't want to be 1097 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 1: quite that brash in your self promotion, but no, I 1098 00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,000 Speaker 1: see the important. 1099 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:49,400 Speaker 2: It's in a good distinction though, because yeah, you need 1100 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 2: to not only do the work that your job requires, 1101 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,279 Speaker 2: but you also need to work on your job, like the, 1102 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,040 Speaker 2: like the It's so easy to lose sight of the 1103 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,320 Speaker 2: fact that, like you said that, we have to advocate 1104 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,200 Speaker 2: for ourselves. But Eleianna, this has just been an awesome conversation. 1105 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 2: I think our listeners certainly have learned a lot, but 1106 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,480 Speaker 2: where can they go if they're wanting to learn more. 1107 00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 2: I think you've got a lot to offer. Tell folks 1108 00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 2: where it is that they should find you. 1109 00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1110 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,399 Speaker 3: Absolutely. You can always connect with me on Instagram.

So, Joel, 1126 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 2: what was your big takeaway for uh from this conversation 1127 00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,880 Speaker 2: from our epis, I. 1128 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,719 Speaker 1: Prefer to goof off for a few seconds at last. Man. No, yeah, 1129 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,839 Speaker 1: there's jam packed so much good information there. Yeah, if 1130 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,680 Speaker 1: you care about making more money and enjoying your work more, 1131 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 1: I think she's a great person. You enjoyed it. Yeah, yeah, 1132 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:10,839 Speaker 1: I think my big takeaway was when she said relationship 1133 00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,800 Speaker 1: building is the way. It was like all caps the 1134 00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,319 Speaker 1: and I was like, I think she's right. I mean 1135 00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 1: I think, of course you heard that you being a 1136 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,560 Speaker 1: super relational person. Yes, yeah, you're like, oh, oh, I 1137 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,040 Speaker 1: will write I gravitate towards that. But I do do 1138 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: think it's true though. I think it's true when it 1139 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 1: comes to when it comes to job opportunities, when it 1140 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,040 Speaker 1: comes to a career pivot, whatever, it's it's who you know, 1141 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,759 Speaker 1: and it's those close relationships that you develop over time, 1142 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,040 Speaker 1: and it's maintaining those we talk about that, you know, 1143 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: networking it's a really, really really crucial part of you 1144 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,640 Speaker 1: being able to continue on in your career in the 1145 00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 1: way you want to. Absolutely, and it's not something that happens. 1146 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:47,400 Speaker 1: It kind of sort of happens around the water cooler, 1147 00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,440 Speaker 1: but that's not enough. You have to be really intentional 1148 00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:49,879 Speaker 1: about it. 1149 00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:52,479 Speaker 2: And one, especially given the fact that so many folks 1150 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,400 Speaker 2: are working from home, so there are other ways that 1151 00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:55,600 Speaker 2: you've got to be smart about it. 1152 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 1: And then you got to like triple down on it 1153 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,279 Speaker 1: if you work from home, right. 1154 00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I love how she was just talking about 1155 00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:02,000 Speaker 2: make yourself visible. That's not gonna be my big takeaway, 1156 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:03,520 Speaker 2: but I feel like that is a big part of 1157 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,279 Speaker 2: that networking if you are working from home, if you 1158 00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,880 Speaker 2: aren't there in person, where some of these more natural 1159 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 2: or more default modes of getting to know your employees 1160 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,200 Speaker 2: or your employers or your. 1161 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: Supervisors and bosses or co workers whatever. I mean. Yeah, 1162 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,439 Speaker 1: And I think it's a really good idea to put 1163 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,600 Speaker 1: it as a calendar reminder, like every Monday morning or 1164 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,759 Speaker 1: Thursday morning or whatever works best for you, spend five 1165 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,759 Speaker 1: or ten minutes like email or text to people, or 1166 00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,160 Speaker 1: make a quick phone call and say, hey, Sheila, how 1167 00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,280 Speaker 1: you doing, like whatever. I think those personal touch points 1168 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,680 Speaker 1: can just have this massive impact over time long way. 1169 00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,799 Speaker 1: That's what our friend Jordan Harbinger calls digging the well 1170 00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 1: before you're thirsty, And I think it's just such a 1171 00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 1: good way to put it, and I think she's right. 1172 00:50:39,600 --> 00:50:42,439 Speaker 1: Relation ship building is the way it's key. 1173 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:44,719 Speaker 2: All right, So my big takeaway I love I'm not 1174 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 2: going to go into this, but I love how she 1175 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 2: was just talking about the values, like thinking through the 1176 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 2: values that you are looking for, Oh yeah, when it 1177 00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 2: comes to your work. But that being said, I'm going 1178 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,960 Speaker 2: to go from that, which feels a little more ethereal 1179 00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,360 Speaker 2: to something super practical. And I feel like her tips. 1180 00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 2: But when it came to interviewing, the interviewing process, we're 1181 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,120 Speaker 2: so good and maybe this is again revealing the fact 1182 00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 2: that I haven't interviewed in so long, But they're going. 1183 00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,120 Speaker 1: To ask you to tell us about yourself. 1184 00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 2: And so that's like she said, an elevator pitch, we 1185 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,160 Speaker 2: need to have that dialed in. 1186 00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: And then also in front of the mirror, like yeah, 1187 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,160 Speaker 1: in front of your friend or partner. Yeah. 1188 00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:20,919 Speaker 2: And she also talked about just the first impressions, other 1189 00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,960 Speaker 2: early interview questions, why are you good fit for this role? 1190 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 2: Why are you a good fit for this company? But 1191 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 2: then also for the industry as a whole, and to 1192 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,920 Speaker 2: just sort of craft your message. Obviously you're not changing 1193 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,840 Speaker 2: who you are, but man, how can you demonstrate and 1194 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 2: show your employer or whoever it is that's hiring you 1195 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 2: that you are going to be a great fit for 1196 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 2: this company. These need to be things that you think 1197 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 2: about ahead of time, and that really yeah, it really 1198 00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:43,680 Speaker 2: stood up to. 1199 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 1: Me, you know what. So Emily is currently interviewing for 1200 00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 1: internship positions and going on the website of the potential 1201 00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 1: employer and looking look at the about us page, look 1202 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,759 Speaker 1: at the mission, look at the values, so that you 1203 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: looking at the language that they use, spit some of 1204 00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,799 Speaker 1: those things back out. Well, you guys say on your site, 1205 00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,040 Speaker 1: or I've heard other folks to work here say that 1206 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 1: this is a really important part of the mission of 1207 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:05,680 Speaker 1: this organization. Guess what I'm down with. Let me tell 1208 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,200 Speaker 1: you why I love that aproach. Yes, and it just 1209 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,720 Speaker 1: takes so good, an extra few minutes worth of research 1210 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 1: that most people don't do. That it's going to help 1211 00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:14,600 Speaker 1: you stand out and they're gonna be like, oh, you're 1212 00:52:14,600 --> 00:52:18,200 Speaker 1: speaking our language, You're our kind of person. So yeah, 1213 00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 1: I love that. I love that good advice. Let's get 1214 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:21,759 Speaker 1: back to the beer we had on this episode. This 1215 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: one's called Boat Drinks, Volume seven, is a highly tropical 1216 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 1: sour beer. What are your thoughts on this one? I'll 1217 00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:29,120 Speaker 1: just say that this is the kind of beer that 1218 00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 1: gets me excited for some warmer weather. Dude. 1219 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,480 Speaker 2: This tastes like a drink that you should be, like 1220 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 2: a rum based cocktail that you're enjoying pool side. It's 1221 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:37,839 Speaker 2: got those pineapple notes. 1222 00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 1: It's called pine drinks for a reason. 1223 00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, pineapple, banana rum. These are all the non beer 1224 00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,279 Speaker 2: flavor notes that I'm pulling out of this beer. But yeah, 1225 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:50,319 Speaker 2: it was a smoothie style sour. But your thoughts, no, 1226 00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 2: I love. 1227 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,560 Speaker 1: You dig it so good, so so good, And honestly, 1228 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,759 Speaker 1: it's a style that I feel like you don't have 1229 00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:57,719 Speaker 1: a lot of, or if you do have something that's 1230 00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 1: kind of in this vein, it's not pulled off nearly 1231 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 1: this well. So this is really really good, highly delicious. 1232 00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:05,920 Speaker 2: Sometimes too, they get they can get overly thick to 1233 00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,640 Speaker 2: where it feels like you're eating or drinking. Well, maybe 1234 00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 2: I'll go back and say, yes, eating one of those 1235 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 2: like odd Wallah odd wall But you know, like some 1236 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:16,680 Speaker 2: of the smoothies that are just so thick and it 1237 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:18,879 Speaker 2: takes you feel like a bunch of fruit purely beat 1238 00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 2: it out of the bottom of the bottle if you're 1239 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,279 Speaker 2: you're pouring it out, but that's not the case. It 1240 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 2: packs all that flavor without it weighing heavy in your 1241 00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 2: mouth and made it a beer that I certainly enjoyed, 1242 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,359 Speaker 2: another great one from Piedmont Brewery down there. 1243 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,719 Speaker 1: And Macon for sure agreed.
