How do you convey your value in an interview? This is an interesting challenge. We are tempted to talk too much, to jam too much information into our answers in an attempt to cover all the bases. This actually has the opposite effect. When you try to be "all the things" all you do is water down your message.So, just how DO you actually get all your value across (and more!) to the person you're talking to? The solution is simple:Curiosity.Seek first to understand, then be understood. - Stephen Covey, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective PeopleThe number one thing you can do to make a lasting impression in an interview is ask questions. Ask questions from a place of curiosity, helpfulness, and understanding.You don't need to be the hero in this conversation. Be the consultant. Be the guide. Listen and ask questions all along the way. Paint a picture about what it's like to work with you. This is so powerful!You WILL stand apart from other candidates, no doubt about that.Leader & Team Dynamic QuestionsMarket Yourself Interview QuestionsResources: Don't stay in a job that feels bad.

There will always be lack, there will always be "never enough" or "not quite there" when you all you can think about is what's missing. This is a problem! The reason this is a problem is because what's going on in your mind is what you experience in your reality. In today's episode, I talk about the solution to this problem and why you must fix it.When the focus is on what you have -- right now, today -- and the value that you've accumulated over time, what you're doing is you are unlocking things that have been sitting there in your brain waiting to be put to use. - Elissa, LYWL, Ep. 64The human brain is wired by default to look for what's wrong. This is why training your mind is one of the most -- if not THE MOST -- important things you can do to navigate life.

How do you springboard from observation into motivation so that it's actually leading you to a better destination? In Part 2 of this 3-part series, I've put together some thoughts on motivation that I want to share with you, and some guidance on how you can create motivation through leverage. At a basic level, our behavior is governed by avoiding pain or gaining pleasure. -Elissa, LYWL, Ep.61 Leverage is using both pain and pleasure to create motivation for yourself. Here are few pain/pleasure questions to ask yourself to create this leverage:Pain-associating questions:• “What will this cost me?”• “What has it cost me in the past?”• “What is it costing the people I love?”• “What is it costing me in (lifestyle, opportunity, family, etc.)?”Pleasure-associating questions:• “If I change this now, how will my life be?”• “What will I gain?”• “What will it mean for the people I love?”• “What will it give me?”You can go back to these questions over and over again to maintain the leverage and motivation you've created. Without motivation, none of those amazing plans and goals you've made will really matter. Any kind of meaningful change in your life or in your career is underpinned by motivation.LYWL Episode 9: Running Away From the Past versus Running Towards the Future

The very first step to making your move starts with taking some time to observe your thoughts, your career, and where you are today. In this first part of a three-part series, I'm going to give you tools to help you look for evidence and start changing the meaning you've assigned to your past, so that you can measure it as success instead of measuring it as failure. In doing so, success will become an inevitable part of your future.If you're ready to make your move, start with observing what's going on now, and just in the observation of it, things will start to change. -Elissa, LYWL, Ep.60Resources: Don't stay in a job that feels bad.

The reason people hire others is the same reason people buy things. - Elissa, LYWL, Ep. 57If you're having trouble marketing yourself in interviews, you could have the best resume on the planet and you still won't get job offers.

Job seekers often get anxiety talking about areas that they don’t excel in or aren’t as experienced in. We can’t help it if we aren’t 100% qualified for each and every position we apply to.“We’re always battling imposter syndrome – feelings inside that diminish our experience. This is normal. But what if there is a particular hard skill that you really don’t have a lot of experience with?” -Elissa Shuck, LYWL Ep. 45In this episode, I’ll teach you how to ease friction with any area that you lack qualifications in. You’ll learn how to craft a thoughtful and authentic response that keeps you in consideration during the interview.Resources: Don't stay in a job that feels bad.

How you answer key questions at the beginning and end of an interview can be crucial to your success in the job search. I like to refer to these as interview bookends – and most people don’t know how to approach them. “If there are two questions that give people the most heartburn during an interview – it’s the questions that I call the bookends, they are ‘tell me about yourself’ and ‘why should we hire you’. We all know they’re coming.” -Elissa Shuck, LYWL Ep. 44In this episode, we’ll break down each question and get some insight into the hiring manager’s perspective. You’ll discover what to include in your responses (as well as what not to include) and how to present it all in a way that is authentic and compelling.Resources: Don't stay in a job that feels bad.

Being in a toxic work environment doesn't only affect us in the workplace, but it can negatively impact our personal lives and our search for a new job.  Because of this, it is on us to identify our purpose in our current situation so we don't carry that with us to the next role. "When you don't feel a sense of purpose at work, that lack of connection to the job you're doing can actually be baggage that travels along with you on your job search and prevents you from taking the action you need to take. That baggage will prevent you from landing a job quickly!" Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.43In this episode, I uncover the steps to find and access your sense of purpose at work. You'll discover the exact actions you can take today to identify the behaviors that underpin specific activities.

The job search can be seen as a microcosm of our own life. We have to stay consistent, set goals, take action, and stick to the plan to name a few parallels. As I’ve mentioned before, it’s important to focus on what we can control in our job search. “You don't have any control over whether somebody else shows up for you. Here is the thing that will make all the difference: You have control, and the control is you showing up.” Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.42In this episode, we’ll dive into how to use higher-level thinking to stay in control to keep showing up in your job search. You’ll discover how to remove emotion, and stick to the math to apply to the job that is right for you. Resources: NEW Job Search Field Guide Group Coaching and CourseFree Resume Mini-CourseYouTube Video – How to Explore Jobs On LinkedInMore information about me, check out my website, and don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!

It's true that the greatest lessons in life can come from our hardest moments. The most difficult thing to do in those moments is to recognize that they exist to help us get better.

I want you to feel so good about your career and job search skills that you know that you can weather anything that gets thrown at you. I had to learn career resilience.

Let's face it, we've all had opportunities for growth throughout our careers whether we knew it in the moment or not. As you've listened to the show, you've heard me encourage you to focus on those things that are under your own control. It turns out that growth is one of those things. Consistent growth is possible, but not without conscious effort. I'm fond of the statement, "everything I want is on the other side of the next action I take." Not all of the actions. When you suspend judgment about that next action, it allows you to move forward and let things unfold for you. Ideas create more ideas, actions create more actions. This is the law of nature, so take advantage of it! - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.39In this episode, you'll discover the 7 steps to achieve career-wide growth. The career growth path includes the power of the next action, doing versus trying, the power of the first step, facing rejection, and more.

As we step into the new year, many of us are becoming aware of our own actions that aren't serving us. For those who are still in jobs they're not happy with, it can be difficult to figure out exactly how to get out. It turns out that working in a job we hate can cost us more than we recognize. "I want you to think about what it's costing you to stay in that job that you hate. That job that's uncomfortable, that toxic environment. It's costing you your self-esteem, it's costing you financially, it's costing you your self worth because you work your butt off and you're never appreciated. I've been there. That's a battle when you're in a place that's not appreciating you." Elissa on LYWL EP.39In this episode, you'll discover the real impact of a terrible job and the side effects that come along with it. Learn how to help yourself, transform the exit from a 'want' to a 'must', and finally, how to create leverage to switch your mindset by putting yourself in your future-self's position.

Every article you read, or post you see offers a different piece of advice about the 'key' to your job search. It turns out that the way you approach your job search is the biggest determining factor in your success. As I've mentioned before, you have to plan your results. There is no single factor that will get you there, it's about building the right philosophy, and taking action. Actions will never solve an emotion. The only thing that can change your emotions are your thoughts. It's your thoughts that create emotions which light the fire for better actions. So instead of hustling, go with effort. Effort, unlike hustle, is the plan that you employ daily to create the results you want. In this episode, you'll discover how to prioritize effort over hustle, how to embody the feeling of success, and the importance of belief when it comes to attaining the position of your dreams.

When you're in job search mode it can be difficult to be grateful for what you already have because you're in the constant pursuit of your next position. It turns out that focusing on what we have now and being grateful for it can keep us motivated and realistic throughout our search. Being this is the first episode of the new year, I've included a quote to set ourselves on a path of gratitude. Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." — Melody BeattieIn this episode, you'll discover how to be grateful for your career. I include specific questions to expand on your challenges, losses and wins to go deeper with your answers. In addition, I help you give yourself credit for what you've accomplished already, and finally, I share my own experience getting demoted in a retail job, and how that shifted my perspective years later.

We've all felt inexperienced in one way or another, but when you're underqualified on paper, it can be difficult for employers to notice your value and your ability to grow. It's more about understanding what applies and doesn't apply from your previous experience, and then using that to make it easy for a hiring manager to understand your future value. When you think about your transferrable skills, and you start looking for those common threads, the common denominators between what you've done and what you want to do, you will start to feel more secure about it. You've got to connect the dots for yourself before you connect the dots for anyone else. That's how you do it. In this episode, you'll discover how to identify and frame your transferrable skills for a new role. I cover what to look for in job descriptions to uncover inside language, how to leverage your behavioral strengths to stand out, and how to include your accolades in the right way to give the hiring manager that 'ah ha' moment that solidifies you as the right candidate.

It turns out that reciting your long history of experience isn't the best way for an interviewer to identify if you're the perfect person for a role. As you know from previous episodes, it's more about how you frame what you've done, and more importantly, how you frame what you'll be able to do for a prospective employer. I'm not suggesting that you dumb down your skills, accomplishments, or anything else. What I am suggesting is, in an interview, in these conversations, you [should] apply the concept that it isn't all about you, so the other person sees you as a great candidate. We think that we need to tell them everything, but you'll slip into convincing energy, or even steam roll over the hiring manager and eliminate yourself from consideration! - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.35In this episode, you'll discover the reason why someone would be considered over-qualified, how to strategize to explain your experience the right way, and how to apply these concepts to actually get hired.

We've heard of the classic case of the 'Mondays', but what about the 'Thursdays'? If you're in the job search you know what I'm talking about. Due to my research with myself and my clients, I've found that our motivation and positivity wavers as the week goes on. "A job search has a unique way of exposing our 'humanness'. It often happens without our permission. We could be blindsided by job loss, [or] see it coming. It doesn't matter what level you are in your career. These 4 needs are universal to job seekers, whether you're in the job search, or looking while employed." - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.34In this episode, I'll help you discover the 4 ways to survive and thrive in your job search and eliminate any case of the 'Thursdays'. I'll give you the Thursday game plan to crush every Thursday. In addition, I break down the typical weekly job search schedule and why it's not working, and how to make a results list versus a to-do list.

It can be so easy to get caught up in our thoughts and identity and lose focus of the reality we're actually living in. Many of us undervalue our goals and overvalue our thoughts. "Whatever you're thinking, your brain wants to prove right. Our brain wants to create harmony. It all sounds great until the thoughts you have don't serve you! If you don't feel good about your job search, check back to your thoughts about your job search." Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP33In this episode, you'll discover how to consciously control what you think about yourself, and how that can cause a night and day difference in your results. I'll cover motivation, the exact formula to prepare your mind to create actual results in the job search, and the systems involved in your brain that make this happen.

The trials and tribulations of the job search are not unlike those we face in regular life. There are ups, downs, setbacks, waiting, watching, hoping, and success. In our job search, it can be frustrating to continue if we've been giving energy to the negative side, but if we have solutions to the things that set us back, we can land our dream job much faster. Think about this concept when it comes to your job search. There's going to be 50% of life and your job search that goes great, and there's going to be 50% that doesn't feel good, or isn't going the way you want it to. What is awesome about 50/50 is when you know that it's normal ahead of time, you don't over celebrate the good stuff, and you also don't stress out about the bad stuff. In this episode, I help you overcome the common job search challenges. I uncover the framework you need to break down and complete challenges that come up. I cover organization, thoughts you tell yourself, context, Thursdays, and more within this multi-episode miniseries.

We've all felt imposter syndrome. We've all felt like we're not worth it, or we're not good enough for the things we truly want. In life, we'll do anything for the ones we love. Many times though, we don't apply that same logic to ourselves. You have to show up for yourself and to do that you have to believe you're worth it. "What you decide in your mind must play out in your actions. You're never going to get a job you think you'll never get! You're failing in advance, my friend! You prove your worth by the thoughts and feelings you have, and the actions that you take." Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.31In this episode, you'll discover how to know what you're worth, prove it to yourself, and how to do that to accomplish your goals in the job search.

It can feel good to have options, but it's typically fear that sets us back from choosing an option, or a direction. When we're making a pivot or looking at our career long-term, we have to identify what it is we love to do, and balance that with our ideal role. Finding a new direction doesn't have to be difficult, but it has to be well-thought-out. This episode will help you uncover that for yourself, and your future. Having lots of options feels positive, but behind that thought could be fear, could be innefficiency. If you're not taking action against something, then it's good look closer at it. [If] the answer you give yourself about your career direction is, "I don't know," [...] then it's a lie! It's choosing not to decide. Even if you do pursue it and figure out it's not right for you, it's alright. It's alright to change our minds! In this episode, you'll discover the reasons why people end up directionless, and the steps you must take to identify your path and stay on it. In addition, I give you the questions to ask yourself that help find the thing you love best about your position. We can use these answers to see our direction.

As a job seeker, rejection is part of the process. Fortunately, there are specific ways to improve your chances of landing an interview, and the resume is one of the most difficult things for job seekers to get right. What is left out of your resume is equally as important as what is on it. Also, how you describe your skills and experience on the resume can be another key to attracting a higher manager, and ultimately landing that job. "If you don't know what you want, you end up creating a resume for all things, for all people. If you don't, you're creating something that is confusing or mediocre. That's step one - know what role you are aiming for! Your resume is a message that is letting the recruiter know what they have to know about you so they can visualize you in the role." Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.29 In this episode, I give you the exact steps to create a resume specifically for a career change. You'll learn the most common mistake job seekers make when it comes to their resume, what to leave out on purpose, and how to use the proper language to land that next job.

The majority of us are not trained in negotiation. When we think about negotiating, we think about sales, confrontation, and a lot of back and forth. Luckily, when you're interviewing for a job it's possible to simplify your negotiation to make it work for you, and the potential employer. It's your job as an interviewee to establish your salary range upfront to make sure you're getting the amount you need to do the job. "I want you to make sure that you are not compromising. This is good to know right up front; whether or not they can meet your needs and requirements. A job interview all the way through from the recruiter, to the panel, to the final interview is your opportunity to evaluate the role, just as much as it is them evaluating you. So please, never forget that!" - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.28 In this episode, you'll discover how to speak about compensation with a hiring manager, which questions to ask, how to frame your salary range up front, and how to know immediately if the company is going to be able to provide you what you're looking for when it comes to compensation.

Being in the job search can feel like a roller coaster ride. It turns out that we can control more than we think, we just have to focus our energy on those things. Apathy, lack of enthusiasm, and overall pessimism towards our search are our biggest detractors from success when it comes to landing that next job. We have to take a deeper look at how we feel about our job search. "The thing that only you can control actually has the biggest influence on the results of your job search. The most important thing in your job search is how you feel about it. Feelings always proceed an action!" - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.27In this episode, you'll discover how to pay attention to your feelings to improve your search. I also cover the importance of mindset and thoughts that serve you versus thoughts that do not, along with incorporating a 'doubt download' to squash those fears.

You know you, right? We think we know ourselves, but knowing who we are and describing it to others are two different things. It sounds simple, but highlighting our strengths and weaknesses can be one of the most challenging aspects of the interview process. When you sit down with a recruiter or hiring manager, it's on you to be prepared enough to explain your strengths and weaknesses accurately. "It's this question of human nature, and how we leverage that. You're afraid you're going to pick a weakness that prevents you from getting the job. I want to tackle both of these questions. The reality is, there are other sides to a strength [too]. When you have a strength that has a 'dark' side, that's the one to uncover."In this episode, you'll discover how to identify and frame your strengths and weaknesses. I include how to use the 'dark' side of strengths (those things you're great at to a fault), the one word you should never say when describing weaknesses, and finally, the exact formula to use in preparation for your interview.

Even if you weren't happy with your previous role, that doesn't mean we can't get practical about the skills that crossover into the job search. Chances are there were multiple tools, techniques, and strategies you used to manage your time and stay efficient that you can now apply to your search.Time management requires discipline at the core, but taking some simple steps to schedule your tasks can make a world of difference when looking for a job. It's not helpful to think of your job search like your full-time job when you didn't like your full-time job. What does work is thinking about the structures, tools, and resources you used to navigate your full-time job, and bring those over into your job search. Whatever you did to manage projects in your previous role, put on that same hat for yourself. - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.25In this episode, you'll discover how to transfer skills from your last role into the job search. I cover how to build discipline around your calendar, what to do if you're looking for a job while having a job and how to apply and implement an entrepreneurial mindset.Visit the Teachable Here to learn how to market yourself in the job search, stay out of the job seeker 'black hole' and more!

Viktor Frankl was an Austrian psychiatrist, philosopher, author, and Holocaust survivor. He created the psychological construct, called "logotherapy" which asserts that the primary force of an individual is to find meaning in life. I have an inclination that the great resignation we're seeing now has a lot to do with Frankl's philosophy which is based on a human's need for meaning. His book, "Man's Search for Meaning," is a critically acclaimed memoir about the intense recount of his life as he navigated the unpredictable and unimaginable existence within an Auschwitz concentration camp. "It doesn't matter if you're a positive thinker or a realist. All that really matters is; are the thoughts you're having serving you or not? Are they getting you connected to the meaning you're seeking? There is a space between a thought and the meaning we attach to that thought." - Elissa Shuck, LYWL EP.24In this episode, I help you discover how to find meaning within your job or your job search right now. I also share with you Frankl's philosophy and apply it to the job search, or your current role. I discuss exactly how to ascribe meaning and take responsibility for your thoughts, and why that's important now more than ever.
