  • Great podcast.

    I started listening to this last night and ended up going through five or six episodes in a row. There’s genuinely useful guidance here for people at every stage of their career.

    For those just starting out, there are practical, precise tips on everything from showing up on time for in-person interviews to avoiding the unexpected issues that can derail video interviews.

    For people farther along in their careers, there’s an incredible interview with a career coach who works with billionaires an... more

  • Level Up Everywhere

    Not only is this podcast phenomenal for job seekers, it’s great for any business minded individual. Do yourself a favor, listen to it, take notes, and follow the advice. I’ve noticed myself shifting the way I think about daily work, plus it’s made me pause and ponder how and why I am applying for the next career pivot for myself. While the short episodes are good, my favorites are the guests for many perspectives on hiring. I have been sharing this podcast with all my coworkers and friends who a... more

  • Reminded

    I returned to Matthew’s podcast today at exactly the right time. I’m currently in transition, and like most people in that position, it’s easy to spend every waking hour focused on your own next step.

    What I was reminded of is that sometimes the fastest way to refill your own tank is to turn your attention outward. Listening to Matthew, and hearing his continued investment in people who are navigating change, gave me more than I expected. It gave me perspective, encouragement, and the lift I ne... more

  • 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

Claudia Miller - Resume Branding, Negotiating Salary & Securing Dream Jobs
Q: What steps should someone take after securing a new job to ensure they continue to advance and get noticed for promotions?
Create a 90-day plan to learn the role, document projects and outcomes, seek higher-impact assignments, and start networking with people one level above to build the path toward the next promotion.
Claudia Miller - Resume Branding, Negotiating Salary & Securing Dream Jobs
Q: Can you give us a crash course on salary negotiation and what listeners should prepare before entering that discussion?
The crash course emphasizes having a planned number, presenting market-based context, and exploring creative compensation options (base, signing bonuses, stock) to close the gap in a collaborative way, rather than demanding a number.
Claudia Miller - Resume Branding, Negotiating Salary & Securing Dream Jobs
Q: What are common stumbling points for professionals you work with, and how do you address them in a client's branding and interviews?

Lou Adler - ”The Most Important Interview Question of All Time!”
Q: What advice can you send us off with for job seekers?
Job seekers need to prepare stories of their major accomplishments that relate directly to the job to effectively demonstrate their qualifications.
Lou Adler - ”The Most Important Interview Question of All Time!”
Q: What do you think makes a great recruiter?
