If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why doesn’t my job value me?” I need you to sit with this for a second. Because the thing you’ve been calling invisibility might not be invisibility at all. I can tell you right now your job saw you when they needed someone to train the new hire.They saw you when a last-minute project landed on someone’s desk and that someone was always you. They saw you when they needed someone to stay late, come in early, hold things together, and make the im

I've been doing this for four years now. Four years of saying the same things, teaching the same frameworks, and watching them work for thousands of women. Black and brown women specifically have come to us feeling invisible and have left with offers that changed their lives. I want to be clear that none of that has changed. The advice still works. The frameworks still work. The results are still very much real. But something has been sitting with me for a while now and, as w

It’s unfortunately true that the candidate with two years of experience and the right keywords will land an interview back before the candidate with twelve years of proven results if their resume reads like a job description. Yeah, you have more experience than most people in the room. But if your resume reads like everyone else’s, do you really think they’re going to call you back? The good news is, we have a fix for this particular problem and we’re happy to spill all the t

Most people plan for everything except their next career move. Meal prepping, vacation, even how they’re going to spend their weekend. You name it and there’s a plan in place. But for some reason they endure their current job situation until it becomes unbearable. Then, when they’re well and truly frustrated, they scramble to find anything that feels slightly less miserable. But babes, you and I both know that's not actually a career strategy. I know you’ve been applying to

The job market right now is genuinely awful. Getting interviews is harder than it's been in years and, even if you've been doing everything right, you're probably struggling to even get to the interview stage. But hear me when I say this: that is not a reflection of your value. However, I know that when you do get the interview (and you absolutely will) you want to make sure you're walking in ready to make the absolute most of it. In a market this competitive, every interview

You finally got the call. After all those applications and all that silence, someone finally wants to meet with you. The first emotion that hits you? Excitement. Like more excited than you were packing for your last vacation. But, given that most people have anxiety around interviews, that was likely followed immediately by panic. And that’s okay, love. We tell everyone that interviews are just a vibe check, but it’s often hard to embody that attitude when you’re ready to sw

You've been consistently applying to roles you're actually qualified for. But the silence on the other end has gone from frustrating to rage inducing. So, like any other baddie, you take a little break. The only issue? That little break often turns into weeks of nothing. And then you only start applying again in bursts when the anxiety around your current role (or lack thereof) gets loud enough. You have a great week, send out fifteen applications, and then hear nothing for

If the word "networking" makes you want to close every tab on your device and pretend you never read this, you're not alone. Most people hate it. Granted, the version of networking they were taught, the room full of name tags, lukewarm wine, and people handing each other business cards that nobody keeps, is genuinely awful. The good news is that the in-person version of networking is also completely optional. And the even better news? The kind that actually gets you hired lo

You've spent hours on applications that disappeared into the void. You've second guessed every decision, from whether to include a cover letter to whether you should even apply in the first place. And at some point the question stopped being "am I doing this right" and became "is any of this even worth it." It is, beautiful. You're just missing some important information that would change the game for you. Do I Really Need a Cover Letter? We hate cover letters over here (an

You've been consistently applying to roles you're actually qualified for. Unfortunately, the silence on the other end has gone from frustrating to rage inducing. Before you burn everything to the ground or convince yourself that the market is broken (and that there's nothing you can do about it) I need you to understand that the way most people search for jobs is fundamentally flawed . And the fix has nothing to do with sending out more applications on top of the 100+ you’ve

Nobody's career path goes in a straight line anymore. And if yours has a gap, a pivot into a new field, a long stretch at one company that recently ended, or ten years of experience (without the degree to go with it), you know what it feels like to stare at an application and wonder how on earth you're going to explain your career. But I promise, the work history you're worried about isn’t the liability you think it is. What costs people interviews isn't the complicated backg

You've sent out more applications than you can count. You've watched the confirmation email land in your inbox, waited, refreshed, and waited some more without hearing a single thing back. Or worse, getting an immediate response in the form of an auto rejection. So, you tweak the resume again. You change the font. You move a bullet point. You throw it into your favorite AI platform and hope this version is finally the one. But I promise you, it's not the font, it's not that r

"Tell me about yourself" might be the four most hated words in the entire job search process. Do you tell the interviewer about that time you embarrassed yourself in class and didn’t want to show your face at school for days? Or are they asking about what’s pissed you off on social media this week? This question isn’t there to trick you but so many people email and DM us about this very question that I figured it was high time we make a post about it. Not because you don't k

You did everything right. The degree(s) and years of late nights. All those extra projects you took on without a title change or an extra dollar in your bank account. You've shown up consistently for a job that keeps refusing to show up for you. And you know what sucks about all of it? Somewhere between the hundredth application that went nowhere and the annual review where your manager told you that you "meet expectations" (yes, even after you’ve literally carried the enti

How many times in the last month have you been rejected from a job you KNOW you're qualified for? Even better, let's talk about the jobs you skip over and don't even apply for because they're "too good to be true." To be honest, regardless of where you fall between those two thoughts, it all leads to the same feeling … frustration. And somehow we get from frustration to imposter syndrome faster than Beyoncé pre-sale tickets get sold out. The thing is, I don't think the reject

Yes, AI is going to eliminate some jobs. It already has. But the panic-inducing headlines saying "AI will replace 300 million jobs" or "40% of workers will be unemployed by 2030" are designed to get clicks, not give you useful information. I've worked at Google and TikTok, both of which are companies at the forefront of AI development. My team and I have also coached and/or provided resources to over 5,000+ professionals in the midst of their career transitions. So, when I te

Sometimes when I tell people that getting laid off triggers the same grief response as losing a loved one, they think I’m being dramatic. But psychological research has consistently shown that our brains don’t distinguish between different types of loss. Loss is loss, and your nervous system responds accordingly. Think about it. When you got laid off you lost so much more than just a paycheck (though that's scary enough). You lost your daily routine, your sense of purpose, y

Beloved, I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this because it might make you a little uncomfortable. When you say you have "no experience" for a role, you're lying to yourself. And that lie is costing you thousands of dollars a year. I know this because I've coached over 1,000+ professionals through career transitions, and I hear the same limiting belief every single time we work with someone new. "I don't have experience in this field, so why would anyone hire me?" But not h
