Who’s Hunting for Your Head?

When most people think about networking, they focus on the obvious:

• Hiring managers
• People working in companies they admire
• Industry events and alumni lists

And that’s all great.

But here’s a strategic advantage most people overlook:

 Age shouldn’t matter, but let’s be honest, sometimes it does.

Whether you’re:

• Too young to be taken seriously
• Too old to be considered “nimble”
• Or just feeling like you’re not the right age for the room...

You’ve probably felt it.

Like it or not, your online presence is your real first impression.

Before someone hires you, refers you, or even replies to your email, they Google you.

And what they find shapes what they believe.

So the question isn’t if you have an online identity. It’s whether you’re in con...

 Let’s be honest.

If your job search strategy is just applying to online listings and hoping for the best, you’re going to burn out fast, and probably hear crickets.

Because the truth is the best opportunities often don’t get posted. And when they do, they’re flooded with competi...

 You might think your resume, your degree, or your skills are what get you noticed. But in reality, it’s your personality that makes people remember you.

It’s how you show up, your energy, your humor, your curiosity, that turns a brief interaction into a lasting connection.

Why P...

 Most job seekers believe that hiring starts with a job posting.

It doesn’t.

Hiring managers don’t wake up and say,

“Let me sort through 250 strangers today.”

Instead, they do what most of us would do, they start with who they know.

And that changes everything about how yo...

 If you’ve ever felt like you have to act a certain way to get hired or promoted, you’re not alone.

We’ve all been told:

• “Be professional.”
• “Present yourself the right way.”
• “Read the room.”

But somewhere along the way, a lot of people take that to mean:

“Don’t be yoursel...

 People spend hours perfecting their resume. They tweak bullet points. Update LinkedIn. Obsess over cover letters.

But here’s the truth no one tells you:

The most powerful tool in your career toolbox is not on your resume. It’s you, in the room.

How you show up. How you make som...

 If you’ve ever said, “I feel stuck,” you’re not alone.

It’s one of the most common things I hear from people at every stage of their career.

And here’s the truth no one talks about: Feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re lost. It means something wants to change.

You’re Not Broken, Y...

 You’ve probably heard the saying, “You are what you eat.”

But when it comes to your career, here’s the truth:

You are what you do, consistently, over time.

Not what you studied. Not what your last job title was. Not what you say you want.

What you do is what builds your career...

 Most people approach the job search like this:

“I hope someone picks me.”

They list out their accomplishments. They tweak their resume. They cross their fingers and hope they get noticed.

But what if that’s the wrong approach?

What if instead of being the product, you were the...

One of the first questions we’re asked as kids is "What do you want to be when you grow up?"

Astronaut. Teacher. CEO. Firefighter.

The world teaches us early that we need a clean, simple answer. One box to check. One identity to stick with.

But here’s the problem...

Your job is going away (eventually.) And if your plan is to only start networking or looking for your next move when you're unemployed or desperate, you're already too late.

That’s not networking. That’s panic.

Here’s the truth no one tells you: Most of the best opportunities don...

 If you’re like most people, no one ever taught you how to build a career on purpose.

You were probably told to:

• Get good grades
• Choose a major
• Get a job
• Hope it works out

But now you’re here. And something’s off.

Maybe you feel stuck. Maybe you’ve changed. Maybe you’re ...
