Yesterday, I shared my new Community number and the response has been wild. I got hundreds of texts from all of you within minutes. If you haven't reached out yet... text me at +1 615-667-8433. From time to time, I'll share my career strategies, mindsets, and tips—but I want to hear from you and how you're doing, so send me a text.

There were a lot of questions I received and I may not be able to reply to everyone, so I wanted to share answers here to the most common questions.

  • What should I have in my LinkedIn headline?

  • Should I use hashtags for skills in my About Me section?

  • Are companies hiring contractors? Does this save employers money?

  • How can I make sure an employer sees a slide presentation I made for them?

  • How do I start a career in Process Improvement?

  • What resources should I use if I'm pivoting careers?

  • How do I learn new skills to help with my job transition?

  • How do you keep your spirits up and avoid burnout in a job or job search?

  • How do I answer recruiter questions about salary requirements?
