Description

Ready to restart your career—or finally make a change in the one you have? Before updating your resume, there are critical early steps that make all the difference in a job search.

In this episode, Christina shares the four foundational moves she wishes she’d known when she returned to work after a 13-year career break. These aren’t the obvious tactics you’ve heard before. They’re the overlooked but essential steps that help you shift from scattered applications to a focused, confident job search.

Tune in to hear how to:

  • Avoid the #1 mistake most job seekers make at the very beginning
  • Reconnect with your network in a way that feels natural (not awkward)
  • Eliminate last-minute stress before interviews
  • Project confidence in every interaction

Whether you’re reentering the workforce, pivoting mid-career, or simply exploring what’s next, these strategies will help you start strong.
