Rejection emails are frustrating, but what about ghosting, or when a position is put on hold? It’s not a bad sign—it’s an opportunity. In this episode, I break down:

  • Why companies pause hiring – Common reasons behind hiring freezes and delays.
  • What a “position on hold” really means – Why it’s not the same as rejection.
  • The two common (but ineffective) responses – What most candidates do wrong.
  • A powerful follow-up strategy – How to stay top of mind without being pushy.
  • Three high-impact ways to showcase your expertise – Including sharing insights, industry trends, or strategic recommendations.
  • How to craft the perfect follow-up email – A proven template to position yourself as a top candidate.
  • When and how to follow up strategically – Timing tips to stay engaged without overdoing it.

Don’t wait—take control of your job search and turn delays into job offers!

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
