Let's dive headfirst into the intricate art of job hunting with our hosts, Josh, Shannon, Kenny and John, who take us on an enlightening journey through the winding path of discovering the perfect job. Together, we explore everything from building that eye-catching resume to the art of effective networking, all while emphasizing the importance of soft skills and the power of a compelling cover letter. We also tackle the common fear of applying for roles where you don't meet every single qualification, and why that might not be as daunting a roadblock as you think.

We're about to flip the script on how you view networking. Think it's all about extroverted schmoozing? We're here to challenge that and reveal how both introverts and extroverts can play to their strengths and approach networking in a way that's comfortable and rewarding for them. Kenny and John also share their expert insights on recognizing red flags during the hiring process, how to stand out in interviews, and the importance of preparing yourself by researching the company and role you're applying for.

Our discussion on the hiring process wouldn't be complete without touching on the often nerve-wracking topic of salary negotiations. Learn practical tips on how to approach this critical dialog, backed by the knowledge of your position's market value. We delve into the role of automated systems in job applications and how to ensure your application doesn't fall into the notorious 'black hole'. Rounding out our conversation, we share strategies on managing nerves during interviews, the implications of lying on your resume, and the potential hazards of speaking negatively about a previous job or employer on social media. Equip yourself with these essential job hunting tools, and you'll be well on your way to landing your dream job.
