Facing job insecurity or simply looking to stay ahead in your career? We've got your roadmap right here. Amidst the turmoil of layoffs from tech behemoths like IBM, Google, and Microsoft, my guest and I dissect the factors leading to this unsettling trend. We're talking economic shifts post-pandemic, the rise of AI, and changes in various sectors like film production. More importantly, we arm you with survival strategies for these unpredictable times, urging you to take charge like you're the CEO of your very own career.

Now, let's talk about making your mark. Crafting a career portfolio isn't just busy work; it's your ticket to standing out. We go beyond the basics, highlighting how to identify your passion and align it with the right companies. Personality assessments aren't just for fun—they're tools to leverage your strengths. And that elevator pitch? We'll show you how to nail it, capturing your professional essence in a snapshot. Our conversation is packed with actionable advice to help you weave through the job market with poise and purpose.

As we wrap up, we switch gears and get personal—sharing a few laughs and our preferences, from serene mountain views to a good glass of whiskey. We even let you in on our quirks, like our Netflix binges and a soft spot for cats. And yes, we've got a streak of rebellion that keeps things interesting. 

Stay tuned for our career coaching announcement, designed to guide you through layoffs with finesse. By the end of our chat, you'll not only have a suite of professional insights but also feel like you're getting advice from a friend who genuinely cares about your next career move.
