I appeared on some podcasts this year, and for the last episode, I wanted to share a show I was interviewed on last June. The podcast, The Career Confidante, is hosted by Marie Zimenoff. If you have been listening to the TVOJS podcast since 2013, she was my guest on an episode about job search trends back in 2015.



Marie is the President of the Career Thought Leaders Consortium and the Resume Writing Academy. Her show, like this one, tools job seekers for the job market.



In this episode, I talk about how job seekers should approach their job search like a consultant.

Highlights include:



* Job board hunting is 98% useless. Showing clear and value, you can prove

* Your approach as a consultant holds a holistic view, not just solving a problem

* With a consultant mindset, you are looking to create opportunities, not waiting for them to happen

* Your original ideas, your outcomes good and bad from projects are a part of your presentation to employers

* Interviews are business conversations with this mindset, actively engaging with questions of your own about the company and managers





Finally…

Again, this is the final show until, January 15, 2019. Subscribers will receive the episode first thing in the morning. The show will be my annual episode on Resume Trends, so look forward to it.



 I want to wish you Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Kwanza, and Happy Hanukka! It’s been a great year in many ways. Enjoy the episode with Marie and me, and I will see you in January.



If you’re on the email list, I will be sending you a survey. I would love to know what you like to see on the blog and podcast.
