Jan 06, 2026
If you’ve been applying to dozens of jobs and hearing crickets or wondering why roles you’re fully qualified for still feel out of reach this episode is going to shift everything.
This week, I’m sharing my full conversation with career strategist and author Linda Raynier, originally recorded for Linda's Show and re-aired here.

✔️ The biggest mistakes quiet achievers make in interviews and how to fix them
✔️ Why mindset, confidence, and belief are now more important than ever
✔️ The truth about AI, resume black holes, and today’s recruiter expectations
