In this episode, Angelina is joined by Haley McNeel Drake, resume writer, interview and career coach, and founder of The Career Revisory. With a background in corporate recruiting and a sharp eye for what hiring teams are really looking for, Haley brings a fresh, honest perspective to the job search conversation. She shares her journey from internal recruiter to business owner, the pain points she sees in the job market, and how she creates a space to help others land roles they actually want — not just settle.

Together, Haley and Angelina dive into the realities of the current hiring landscape, why so many strong candidates feel invisible, and how to move from scattered applications to strategic career moves that make an impact.

• What inspired Haley to launch The Career Revisory

• Common mistakes holding candidates back — even experienced ones
• The difference between applying and positioning yourself
