When Life Hands You Lemons w/ Kristi Meenan

In this episode, we invite Kristi Meenan. In 2016, Kristi was a struggling jobseeker and had tried for over a year to land a job--any job.

At a loss, she put the job search on hold and met w/recruiters & resume writers to find out what she was doing wrong. What she learned will blow you away! At 50 years young she decided to launch her own business dedicated to helping job seekers navigate the often murky waters of finding a job.

Mic Drop Moments

🎤Kristi at (09:15) - When you’re broke, or near broke, you carry with you the broke mindset. And it’s really hard to break out of that. You need to not carry the broke mindset.

🎤Kristi at (09:52) - I want you to be mindful of what money you do have. If there is something that is going to help propel you in your job search, that is worth the investment.

🎤Kristi at (11:30) - The other thing that I always talk to clients or anybody that's on a phone consultation, what have you, LinkedIn Premium for job seekers.

🎤Kristi at (17:53)- Whatever you put on your resume, it needs to be relevant.

🎤Kristi at (23:32) - If you’re not seeing the results that you would expect from your resume, then my question back to you would be, “what are you doing to network? Does your immediate circle know that you’re looking? Have you asked them for introductions?”

🎤Kristi at (27:38) - A lot of people are uncomfortable asking for help because they feel like “Oh that person doesn’t know me. They are not gonna recommend me.” Well don’t ask for a recommendation then. Ask for an introduction. An introduction is easy.
