Feel like your resume is vanishing into a black hole when you apply for jobs?
You're not alone.
Most job seekers experience the deafening silence of applicant trashing systems that seem to swallow resumes whole.
But what if I told you there's a better way?
It’s not just another job search strategy.
It’s a re...
Today, you get a podcast on The Job Interview Formula Guaranteed to Get You Hired (CAAR).
It’s titled that because, well, it’s an actual formula, which, if you use it, I pinky swear, you’ll get hired.
It literally, IMHO, is one of, if not, THE, very best podcasts I’ve created on how to answer questions—like ANY question—in a job interview.
I cover t...
Is it détente or mutual destruction?
I’m not sure, but AI will change the game for employers and employees, especially in the hiring process.
Someone asked me a few weeks ago about my thoughts on the recent Wall Street Journal article titled You’re Fighting AI with AI: Bots Are Breaking the Hiring Process.
Here’s what I had to say.
Here’s a line straight out of The Zebra Code…
“Always remember, your success, in anything, will have more to do with where you place your attention than your ability.”
There are no truer words when it comes to your job search.
Most people think their history matters. (Not really.)
Others think their skills matter. (Not if you k...
Are you getting paid what you’re worth?
That was actually a trick question because there’s absolutely no way for you to know exactly what you’re worth.
You’re worth is dependent on what someone else is willing to pay for you at this exact moment in time.
You are like a stock, a house, or anything else whose value is determined by someone else’s desi...

Coming to you today with a wonderful podcast on 4 essentials assets every job seeker must have.
I’m continuing my discussion from Friday’s podcast when I covered how AI will affect the 2024 job market.
I want you to be prepared for everything!
Now, when it comes to the assets, you have a resume don’t you?
That’s one of the four,...
Enjoy this podcast on How AI Will Affect the 2024 Job Market. Run time = 10:18. It’s intense. And awesome.
While I claim I cannot predict the future, I do have this incredible knack for seeing around corners.
If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:
I want to thank you for reading this line.
I know if you just did, you must have some level of faith in me as your coach.
Or, at a minimum, think I have something to offer to help you improve your career.
So, again, thank for that and your attention in general.
Today, I want to share some powerful perspectives with you.
I get this one a lot.
"Coach, I’m getting stock [or RSUs, ISOs, PIUs, Phantom, etc. etc.] as part of my compensation package. How do I value this? How do I gauge what the right amount is?"
FYI…that’s Restricted Stock Units, Incentive Stock Options, Profit Interest Units, Phantom Stock (yes, it’s a thing) and several other variati...
Today, I’m running through the “You’re overqualified,” scenario which, unfortunately, all-too-many job seekers hear.
I mean, if they think this, why are they even talking to you?
It’s a veiled concern about your fit or salary or whatever.
We all know it.
But, does that mean we need to throw in the towel?
You...

Every week, I meet individually with 15-18 people to help them with their job searches, interviews, and salary negotiations.
Inevitably, I get questions such as…
“Coach, I had this interview. The recruiter talked the entire time. Didn’t ask me a single question. What should I have done?”
“Andy, the interviewer started the interview with ‘What questi...
Many want it. The good life.
The few. They want the great life.
The rest. What’s left. You guessed it. They pursue heights so high most people dismiss them as unattainable.
Whichever group you’re in, I know you’ll eventually pursue some personal Mount Everest.
You know the one I’m talking about. The one that, somewhere along the...
Today, I’m dropping one of those podcasts that was impossible to title properly to encapsulate the full impact of the resume writing and interviewing tips and the relationship between the two.
It teaches how your résumé affects what questions a job interviewer will ask you.
You’ll also be able to immediately detect, based on the questions the interviewer is asking, whet...
I spent every single day between December 3rd, 2022 and May 30th, 2023 working on something that really matters me—writing a book that’ll help you achieve a level of career attainment and satisfaction that matches your abilities.
Of course, you didn’t know I was doing that. And, you won’t be able to hold my little beauty until August 6, 2024. (You can, however, pre-order it here!)
Do you get exhausted trying to think about every question a job interviewer could ask?
And preparing your interview responses?
And trying to remember everything?
Only to clam up or forget or sound like a robot?
There is a better way…
To make your interview stories powerful.
To reduce you...
It’s still January, which means technically I’m trending if I talk about goal setting.
Are you achieving yours? Goals that is?
I’m not really a goal-setter per se, as much as I strive to be an accomplish-er.
And, I guess now that I’ve written that previous sentence and am too lazy to go back and change it, I’ll just correct it here...
Today, I’m decoding job descriptions. If you’re wondering what that entails, that’s me doing some Andy x-ray vision and taking a run at predicting the future (interview, salary negotiation, etc.) simply by seeing a job description.
I can even go backwards with what your resume should say.
I’m an all-directions kinda guy that way.
Today, we’re talking how to prove your value to employers.
Easiest way to do that is to show them how you can help them achieve their goals.
To do that, you need to know what their goals are.
Good news for you is I’m old and wise and have lots of employer tread on my tires.
Serving it up today.
