Carrie Schochet – Leveraging LinkedIn and Networks for Discreet Job Opportunities

Are you frustrated with your current job but aren't taking the first step you know you need to make to implement a positive change?

Carrie Schochet, executive recruiter and founder of Purple Squirrel Advisors, rejoins us as we navigate career challenges and changes. We dive deep into the importance of networking and making meaningful connections, even in unexpected places. A concept we explore is "net giving" as opposed to simply "networking," drawing inspiration from the book "The Go-Giver" by Bob Burg.

We also tackle the fear and uncertainty many individuals face when considering a career change, particularly when receiving counteroffers from their current employers. Carrie shares her personal experience with this situation and emphasizes the significance of understanding one's purpose and level of commitment to one's job.

There are multiple challenges to managing career dissatisfaction within dual-income families. We cover the crucial role of communication and support when seeking job changes or transitioning careers. Carrie offers valuable advice on utilizing LinkedIn discreetly to signal interest to recruiters without alerting current employers.

Please enjoy my conversation Carrie Schochet.
