Why do some highly qualified candidates land the job while others get passed over? 

The answer often lies in how well they tell their career story.

In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, Career Transition Coach and Forbes Coaches Council member Gina Riley, joins me to share insider strategies from her experience at Intel and as an executive search consultant. She explains how mid-career professionals can stand out in today’s competitive job market by documenting accomplishments, creating compelling stories, and positioning themselves as the solution to an employer’s biggest challenges.

You’ll discover:

• How to build your Career Data Vault so you can confidently communicate your value.
• Why recruiters read resumes in an “F” pattern and what that means for how you present your experience.
• The crucial difference between mentorship and sponsorship—and why you need both.
• Ways to quantify achievements in support roles to prove business impact.
• How to align your interview stories with the problems hiring managers are trying to solve.
• Why developing a personal board of directors helps guide smart career decisions.

Whether you’re frustrated with your job search or looking to move up in your career, this conversation will help you craft stories that resonate with hiring managers and position you as a must-hire candidate.
