  • Changed My Life!

    This review is long overdue. I religiously listened to this podcast while interviewing for jobs almost two years ago (I said overdue didn’t I?!). There was one shorter episode where Matthew ensures the listener “You’ve got this! You’ve put in the work and it’s your time” meant to encourage confidence and pump you up before an interview and I’m telling y’all I probably listened to that episode 20 times before various interviews and interview stages. It WORKED! I had done the prep work, I practice... more

  • You’re one of the GOATS at this stuff Matthew 🩷!

    You are one of the best teachers, guides and experts in this area of job search, job interview and even going into details how to write a resume with a cover letter. I love that you’re not seeking clients or anything scammers do or any grifts. You’re the real deal. I learned so much from you for someone who’s not even in executive positions of the corporate world. Anybody should listen to your podcast regardless of their work experiences or field then they can tie it into their own process to wi... more

  • Amazing Advice

    I started listening to this podcast several years ago when I was actively looking for a job. I decided to stop my job search but restarted again this year. Matthew’s advice throughout was phenomenal. I ended up scheduling a one on one coaching session as well and would highly recommend that too. I got the job that I was looking for and couldn’t be happier!

  • Engaging

    I have been listening now to a few episodes of the podcast (mostly old ones for now) and I have to say, it is very engaging and relevant to me. I like that it is not prescriptive (you should do this and that), rather it encourages me to think about some fundamental questions and give a few tools to that effectively.

Sometimes you have to make decisions just because you're doing what you have to do.
