Every week, I meet individually with 15-18 people to help them with their job searches, interviews, and salary negotiations.

Inevitably, I get questions such as…

“Coach, I had this interview. The recruiter talked the entire time. Didn’t ask me a single question. What should I have done?”

“Andy, the interviewer started the interview with ‘What questi...

Many want it. The good life.

The few. They want the great life.

The rest. What’s left. You guessed it. They pursue heights so high most people dismiss them as unattainable.

Whichever group you’re in, I know you’ll eventually pursue some personal Mount Everest.

You know the one I’m talking about. The one that, somewhere along the...

Today, I’m dropping one of those podcasts that was impossible to title properly to encapsulate the full impact of the resume writing and interviewing tips and the relationship between the two.

It teaches how your résumé affects what questions a job interviewer will ask you.

You’ll also be able to immediately detect, based on the questions the interviewer is asking, whet...

I spent every single day between December 3rd, 2022 and May 30th, 2023 working on something that really matters me—writing a book that’ll help you achieve a level of career attainment and satisfaction that matches your abilities.

Of course, you didn’t know I was doing that. And, you won’t be able to hold my little beauty until August 6, 2024. (You can, however, pre-order it here!)

Do you get exhausted trying to think about every question a job interviewer could ask?

And preparing your interview responses?

And trying to remember everything?

Only to clam up or forget or sound like a robot?

There is a better way…

To make your interview stories powerful.

It’s still January, which means technically I’m trending if I talk about goal setting.

Are you achieving yours? Goals that is?

I’m not really a goal-setter per se, as much as I strive to be an accomplish-er.

And, I guess now that I’ve written that previous sentence and am too lazy to go back and change it, I’ll just correct it here...

Today, I’m decoding job descriptions. If you’re wondering what that entails, that’s me doing some Andy x-ray vision and taking a run at predicting the future (interview, salary negotiation, etc.) simply by seeing a job description.

I can even go backwards with what your resume should say.

I’m an all-directions kinda guy that way.

Today, we’re talking how to prove your value to employers.

Easiest way to do that is to show them how you can help them achieve their goals.

To do that, you need to know what their goals are.

Lemme ask ya.

Is there anything more confusing than job titles when it comes to job searching and your career planning?

I think not.

Have you ever wondered…

Do job titles matter? Does anyone care?

“An object in motion is easier to redirect than a stationary one.”

I’m sure I made up that quote sometime in my teens during one of my endless semesters of physics.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to have that thought.

I’m also sure it’s the end of the year.

That means many job-seekers are either tired of searching or hesitati...

I know job searching stinks.

But, it’s a gift.

You don’t need to agree with me at this moment.

I know, however, someday, you will look back and know exactly why it had to happen THAT way.

I wanted to bring you a nice, tight, powerful, perspective-filled video on how to approach a situation when an employer gives you a job offer below the advertised salary range.

You might be thinking what gives?

That is certainly one way to look at it.

Not the only way of course.

Expected salary is ridiculous.

Budgeted salary…sillier still.

Just like advertised salary, unadvertised salary, and the-salary-we-hope-to-pay salary.

Sometimes you (think you’ve) hit a wall.

There’s a person you’re speaking to and they just don’t want to pay you any more salary.
