  • Helpful, but a little out of touch

    I really appreciate all the helpful insight and resources offered by your podcast, but I feel it’s often missing the mark as the current job market is so fraught with unique challenges that are not always reflected in your conversations. I’d like to see less subjective advice and more concrete tips about how to survive and navigate the current economic reality in 2026.

  • Disappointed😔

    Just disappointed by your guest Nikki Schutte!

    Quote:

    “It’s really hard to get to know somebody through a first interview or even a second or third interview. And I think that we all want to rely on things that help us make the right decision … [by] another interaction that somebody might have had with that person.”

    If that’s the case, then please tell the thousands of job seekers why post the job online and make us go through the entire process of resume submission, screening, and multiple ... more

  • Career advice from a good “friend”

    I don’t now Mac Prichard, but when I listen to the Find Your Dream Job podcast, I feel like I'm listening to a caring and insightful friend—and it calms me right down. It’s my #1 go-to podcast for up-to-date career advice, and it’s just a delightful podcast in general.

  • In my top 10 of career podcasts

    Although I still believe that the “dream job” is a myth, listening to this podcast is helping me dream of a great a job and a purposeful career. Each episode has an encouraging perspective. Mac also has a great voice for radio. His voice reminds me of Casey Kasem, which is soothing and nostalgic for me.

How to Explain Why You’re Looking for Another Job, with Susan Peppercorn
Q: What are the three common situations when people are looking for a new job, and is there a common structure to explain them?
The three situations are layoff, firing for cause, and voluntary change; a common structure is to start with the industry context, then specify the company impact, and finally describe your learnings and how you've progressed.
How to Explain Why You’re Looking for Another Job, with Susan Peppercorn
Q: Why is it important to have this explanation ready before you'll walk into that interview or send that first application with a resume and cover letter?
Preparing talking points reduces anxiety, helps you stay confident, and ensures you hit the major points without being blindsided by the question.
How to Make the Most of Your Professional Association, with Cheryl Ferguson
Q: How can volunteering and speaking at events help your career or job search?
Volunteering raises visibility and credibility, makes you a go-to person, and speaking positions you as an expert, which helps recruiters remember you and may lead to interview opportunities.
How to Make the Most of Your Professional Association, with Cheryl Ferguson
Q: What practical steps should you take to determine which association is right for you and get involved?
Identify groups that align with your industry, review their mission and values, attend three consecutive meetings across different chapters if possible, and look for roles where you can contribute, such as committees or events.
How to Make the Most of Your Professional Association, with Cheryl Ferguson
Q: Why should you join a professional association if you're looking for a new job or thinking about a career change?
Associations build a community around a shared industry, offer ongoing opportunities to learn and lead, and help you meet people who can advise you, connect you to opportunities, and vouch for you when positions arise.
