What You Need to Know About Your Job Search with Staci Witten

These are some crazy-ass times, y'all. I'm excited to have this conversation on this episode because even though mostly I speak to and talk to women entrepreneurs. But I know that many of you are working and building a business on the side or are not interested in being in business for themselves.

So today's topic is making the most of your job search.

My guest, Staci Witten, is a career and leadership coach, and we have been friends for over 20 years - what?!? 20 years? It's hard to believe, but Staci and I met while leading Vacation Bible School in the summer of 1999 - or maybe 1998. Neither of us could remember.

We recorded this episode in late May 2020. With the death of George Floyd and the crucial messages that followed, Staci and I both agreed to hold off on releasing this conversation.

In so many, I am happy that we did. As this episode is being released, we are mid-July. I'm seeing friends and family who have lost their jobs due to the fallout of COVID-19.

With back-to-school, there is uncertainty from teachers and parents as they wrestle with decisions that affect their families. Many parents are asking what's next for their careers during this uncertain time. I've seen teachers thinking of switching careers and parents looking to be able to manage their children in distance learning while working.

We shared how we both feel shelter-in-place will restructure the working environment to be more working from home.

Staci offers compelling insights for your job search now and what to consider going forward. Tips on looking beyond your job title and provides the next steps to finding a job. And even ways to utilize networking.
