The job market is more competitive than ever. Even with the perfect resume and impressive credentials, landing your dream job (or even a decent one) feels impossible. What's the missing piece?
This episode dives into the unspoken truth: you need to learn how to sell yourself.
We're tackling the tough questions:
- Why is self-promotion so important in today's world? We explore how the digital age has changed the game, requiring you to be "twice as findable" as you are qualified.
- Isn't bragging "icky"? We debunk the stigma around self-promotion, revealing the difference between obnoxious boasting and authentically showcasing your value.
- I hate social media. Do I really need to be online? We discuss the importance of building a digital presence and offer strategies for making it work for YOU, even if you're not a social media guru.
- How do I stand out without losing myself? We offer practical tips and frameworks for developing a sustainable self-promotion strategy that aligns with your values and goals.
- What about the fear of rejection? We share personal experiences and provide encouragement for overcoming the mental hurdles that often hold people back.
This episode is for anyone who is struggling to land a job despite strong qualifications, wants to advance their career but feels stuck or is considering entrepreneurship but feels hesitant to put themselves out there.
We'll leave you feeling empowered to take control of your career narrative, equipped with a few practical strategies for building your personal brand and inspired to embrace self-promotion as a path to success.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
