Yuuuuup has been super tough. trying to career pivot (need to excel in interviews) while also working 50+ hours in my job that i hate. have a few good leads now - thinking about quitting so i can fully commit to the search + reset a little bit

Not a bad plan. Hang in there friend! Just be sure to budget for more time than you think you need if you quit. Some of these recruiters are only available a week or two out… that said, protect your mental health and don’t put up with something that makes you truly miserable

Hey! I can totally relate. I am currently looking for a new job and so far, not good. LOL

Hey!! So I see that your search for a new job. I work in the financial services industry, my team and I are expanding looking for sharp, ambitious, and business minded individuals. If your looking for a great opportunity to make some more income or looking into a new career field shoot me a text (505)208-5598 so I can give you more info and see if this is a good fit for you!

Here’s some of what I’ve learned so far, if this helps:
1. Practice interviewing (tantamount)
2. Memorize your “about me” story
3. Brush up on jargon, terms, etc
4. Prepare a list of questions and ask peers for good ones
5. Use excel or other to stay organized
6. Applying hasn’t helped me- best results have come from referrals of friends or people I ask on LinkedIn
7. Be tidy for video calls - workspace, attire, etx
8. Have peers advise on resume (I’ve had like, 8 iterations) - make sure to use a simple style that plugs into an ats
9. Write down your interviewers questions and take notes after each interview to reflect on
10. Books help
11. Perhaps pay someone to coach you/ I haven’t; but I would have advised me three months ago to have done so
