During our recording, Gina shared many great ideas on job transition, including:
· The person you are networking with ultimately must know, like and trust you for them to be an effective advocate for you.
· One of the building blocks for an effective career is to have layers of experiences – which means that job changes are not always bad.
· When answering interview question – think SOAR (e.g., situation, obstacles, action, and results).
· Rambling on and on can be a real problem in any interview.
· We each own our career and the planning process it takes to be successful in it.
· Do you know what your “awesome sauce” is and how to communicate it?
