What You Need to Tell Employers, with Charles McGee
Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16043&preview=true)
What do you think an employer wants to hear from you in an interview? If you said, “My background and skills,” you aren’t wrong. But according to Find Your Dream Job guest Charles McGee, it goes much deeper than that. An employer wants quantifiable facts. How did you make a difference at your previous job that can be measured? Charles also suggests not being afraid to share your weak points, but also explain how you’ve grown and overcome them, and what you learned as a result. Lastly, keep your resume concise; less visual clutter is easier for the employer to get through.

Charles McGee is the director of operations for Workplace Change.

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16008&preview=true)
Online applications attract thousands of people looking for a job, but they rule out their ability to stand out from the crowd in a sea of applicants. Find Your Dream Job guest Leila Singh says it isn’t difficult to distinguish yourself. You start by connecting with others. Cultivate a network that you can turn to. Second, captivate the hiring manager with your presence. Stand, speak, and behave in a way that commands respect. And lastly, Leila suggests working on your self-confidence. If you don’t believe in yourself, nobody else will believe in you.

What Do You Want To Do Next?, with Kathy Oneto
Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15982&preview=true)
How do you determine what to do next in your career? That depends on your situation, says Find Your Dream Job guest Kathy Oneto. But if you have time to figure it out, Kathy suggests beginning with self-reflection. Examine peak moments in your work and personal life to determine what’s important to you. Then, Kathy says, ask yourself a series of questions to clarify what you’d like to learn, where your passions lie, and what motivates you. Finally, it’s time to take action. Just thinking about what to do next won’t get you there; you have to take a step in the direction you think you want to go.
