What if the reason your job search isn’t working… isn’t your experience, but the way you’re positioning it?
In this episode of Career Cravings, I sit down with my client Pooja, an HR professional with more than 10 years of experience who spent eight to nine months stuck in a frustrating job search cycle.
Constantly rewriting her resume.
Preparing for interviews that stalled in later rounds.
And slowly starting to question whether she was doing something wrong.
The effort was there. The strategy was not.
Once she stopped reinventing the wheel and started positioning her experience differently, everything changed.
In this episode, we break down:
✔ Why tailoring your resume for every job can keep you stuck longer
✔ The resume and LinkedIn shift that started attracting recruiter interest
✔ How to communicate your value like a trusted advisor instead of trying to sound perfect
✔ How networking led her to a newly created role with 700+ applicants
✔ How she prepared for five executive-level interview rounds with CEOs and CFOs
✔ Why salary negotiations can lead to huge increases when you position them correctly
If you’re an experienced HR professional who knows you’re capable of more but your job search isn’t reflecting it yet, this episode will help you see what’s possible with the right strategy.
