  • The First Gen Coach We All Needed

    Carla Santamaria is amazing! Her podcast, The First Gen Coach, is one of my go-tos because she keeps it real, practical, and so relatable for first-gen professionals. I always walk away with something I can actually use. I also took her LinkedIn bootcamp, and it was honestly a game-changer. It gave me the confidence and clarity to finally use LinkedIn in a way that feels natural and actually works for me. And her newsletter? Truly one of my favorites. The short comment ideas and insights she sha... more

  • Super Relatable Podcast - must be listened too :)

    I actually have been listening to your podcast since I left a conference on my drive home . I started from the beginning but every episode has been really great - so instead of watching something on Netflix I’m listening in to your podcast :) It’s been so very relatable and kinda feels like a big sister best friend is giving advice and perspective.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

141. Redefining Leadership as First Gens
Q: When you were growing up in the Mormon Church, did the leadership messaging help or limit you, and how did that shape your view of leadership?
I learned some positive leadership qualities from my church, like speaking to a room, making decisions for a group, and fostering community, but I also recognize that not all messaging was empowering; leadership responsibilities often came with meaningful practice that later translated into broader community and professional roles.
151. Job Search Q&A
Q: Should I focus on job title or company when searching, and how did she decide what to target?
It depends on goals; she recommends filtering by function (e.g., DEI program manager) and industry, then refining by specific companies once a clear vision of the desired role is established.
151. Job Search Q&A
Q: How long did the process take from applying to receiving an offer, and how many interviews were typical?
She notes the typical six-week window from applying to offer, with at least three interview rounds common, including recruiter screens, panel interviews, and executive meetings.
