Career Advice for Job Seekers: How to Stop Self-Rejection and Apply for Jobs You Want
Manage episode 517493883 series 3649175
Struggling with your job search? In this episode, I share career advice that changed my life: don't say no before they say no. Learn how to stop self-rejecting and limiting your opportunities during tough job markets.
I share personal stories about landing jobs I was "underqualified" for, moving across the country for unexpected opportunities, and how believing in yourself can open doors you never imagined. From getting turned down as overqualified in New York to becoming an executive producer in LA, to showing up uninvited at Nylon Magazine's office to land my dream internship, these stories prove that audacity and openness to possibilities matter more than checking every box. In this episode, you'll learn:
Why you should apply for jobs even if you don't meet all requirements
How to overcome imposter syndrome and self-rejection in your career
Real examples of taking career risks that paid off
How to navigate career transitions and job hunting during recessions
The power of letting opportunities guide your path instead of rigid planning
Perfect for recent graduates, career changers, entertainment industry professionals, and anyone facing a challenging job market. Stop limiting yourself—your next opportunity might be the one you almost didn't apply for.
