Are you feeling lost and alone in your job search after a layoff? In this episode, I sit down with my client, Swathi, who shares her incredible journey from the uncertainty of being laid off to the triumph of receiving two compelling job offers on the SAME day. Swathi opens up about the initial lonely first month of job searching where her applications felt like they were disappearing into a "big black void." We dive deep into the crucial mindset shift that helped her pivot into a new function as a Product Marketing Manager—a role she didn't have direct experience in—and how she overcame the moments of doubt that led her to "panic apply" for jobs that weren't the right fit. This is a must-watch for anyone who is feeling low, alone, or discouraged in their job search. Discover the strategies that helped Swathi not only pivot and get two offers but also secure a $25K salary increase. In this episode, we cover:✅ Swathi’s emotional journey from layoff to determination. ✅ The lonely reality of job searching and how to overcome it. ✅ The mindset shift required to successfully pivot into a new role. ✅ How to stay disciplined when you feel like giving up. ✅ The powerful realization that you are ALREADY the professional you want to be. ✅ How it feels to get two dream job offers on the same day and negotiate a higher salary. ✅ Swathi’s #1 takeaway that completely changed her career and her life.
