Do NOT start off your email outreach apologizing for your email outreach. Sell yourself. And, there's nothin', absolutely nothin' to apologize for.

I understand wanting to work for someone who you have worked with in the past and being excited about that. BUT, this cannot be the only - or MAIN - reason you take a job. Look under the hood. Make sure you feel like it would be an incredible place to work, even without Joe Shmo.

"I don't want to hire a female executive because she'll get pregnant." This discriminatory, sexist, bull dingy is STILL a thing in some massive companies we all know. How do you change that? Threat of a law suit? Replacement of C-level execs who enable the philosophy? #Diversity

Have you been promoted recently? Take the time to update an old resume or simply create a document for your files that lists what you accomplished in the position you recently moved out of. It's amazing how quickly we forget things. #resume #jobsearch

Loyalty — a "ghost town" of a word in today's economy when it comes to employee retention. Is it b/c the workforce is bigger than ever with women having entered in full force? Is it because of innovation if you can't keep up, your out? Is it because of FOMO -fear of missing out?

.Get outta Dodge! It's not easy for candidates to take that advice when experiencing. a crappy interview. W/ mouths to feed, people don't have the luxury to walk. When we tell someone to "walk," we risk being grossly out of touch, even with good intentions.

You stand me up 1x for a call, I'll give you a pass - especially if you send me a note explaining. You do it 2x? Sayonara, baby. It's not about missing the call. It's about how you handle it. I have other candidates who have the depth of character to understand that difference.

If you're in a job vs. on a career path, and are stuck on how to FIND that path:

Talk to everyone. Listen to their stories. Look at the life of others as though you are a child, learning for the very first time about possibilities.

Then watch as doors open. #Careers
