The new way of finding your dream job with AJ Mizes

Full transparency, one of our biggest pet peeves is when people hear the “career” part of “life & career coaches” and assume we help people scour job boards and edit their résumés.

There’s nothing wrong with that—it’s just not what we do.

If you’ve found us, you may very well want a new job. You might find yourself pursuing job boards and staring at your résumé, wondering how to polish it so that you can be noticed by a company with an awesome work culture.

But those aren’t the steps that come first. You can’t find career fulfillment if you have no idea who you are, what you want, or how to even recognize the right thing if it showed up. That’s our bread and butter.

So, thank goodness for AJ Mizes, who actually loves all the stuff that we don’t! On this month’s interview with an expert, AJ and Rachel got into…

• How 88% of people get hired these days (…newsflash, it’s not sending endless online applications).
• Job searching and interviewing in a time of COVID—what’s changed, and a few things you probably haven’t thought of yet.
• Questions to ask in an interview to help you identify whether an employer is going to be healthy or toxic.
• Red and green flags to look out for in a potential boss.
• The one thing you absolutely MUST be doing if you want to stand out and get hired for a dream job.

We learned SO much from AJ in just an hour—you’re going to get a lot out of this, too. After you listen, come leave a comment to share which of his strategies you’re going to implement!

1:1 COACHING IS COMING BACK!

One-on-one coaching will be open for enrollment again on Friday, May 14! A few pointers to keep in mind:

• We’ll be taking on about 10-15 people in this new wave.
• This is for people interested in getting started in May or June.
• You don’t have to know for sure that you want to move ahead with coaching. You just have to be serious enough about it to want to have a conversation.
• If you’re not ready now, or you’ve found us in-between “official” enrollment periods, then you can add your name to the wait list and we’ll contact you if and when we have an availability.

If you’re seriously considering coaching, check out this page for all the details so you know what to expect!
