We’ve all been there: you applied, you made it through the interview process, and then….nothing. Whether you were ghosted, or received the textbook decline, the fact remains that you didn’t get the job.What did you do wrong? Chances are, the reason might have had nothing to do with you at all. We’re going to arm you with all the reasons why you might not have gotten the job, and what you can do to increase your chances of getting feedback to incorporate into your job search.
Does how likeable a person is play a role in their career success and advancement? You bet. Does anyone ever talk about this critical trait? Not often.But that's about to change. On this eppie, we dig into the concept of likability, the role it plays in your success, and some tips you can use to increase it in an authentic way. Because let's face it, people want to work with people they like.
Interview preparation is a fairly popular career topic, especially how to answer everyone’s favorite behavioral questions that start something like, “tell me about a time when…”But rather than scramble to think of an example that perfectly answers the interviewer’s question, what if instead you could prepare so that you’re already armed with several answers that you can quickly and easily adapt to any question that comes your way? That's what this eppie covers.
The Power Girls celebrate 10 eppies in 10-ish minutes with stories, surprises, and sharing what they're most thankful for during this whole experience. Spoiler alert: We're thankful for YOU, our listeners. But listen to the whole eppie anyway, OK?
This is the capstone to a three part series focused on motivation, using a framework from the book, Drive by Daniel Pink. It discusses three spheres: autonomy, mastery, and purpose, or as we cleverly refer to it, #AMP. On this eppie, we to discuss purpose, and how uncovering your purpose, and talking about purpose, can give you direction and open doors for you, wherever you are in your career journey. And then we tie all three of these pieces of AMP together and discuss how they fuel your drive.

This is chapter one of a three part series focused on motivation, using a framework from the book, Drive by Daniel Pink. It discusses three spheres: autonomy, mastery, and purpose, or as we like to call it, #AMP. In this eppie, we dig into the “A,” and define what the concept of autonomy really means, and how you can find ways to align your role and career to your specific autonomous aspirations - say that one three times fast.
One of the most satisfying things you can do is this concept of “make” - creating with your own two hands. It’s also a fantastic way to differentiate yourself by demonstrating how your brain works creatively through complex challenges. But for some reason, creating content feels incredibly daunting. What kind of content should you create? Where should you share it? Why would anyone be interested? On this eppie, we dig into all these questions - and give you some strategies to start creating your own content and showcasing your awesomesauce!
Rejection. Boy, does it hurt. And often it’s so hard to move past the feelings of not being good enough and clearly see what your next step should be. But what if we turned how we interpret rejection on its head, and instead thought of it as a form of redirection? That’s what we’re going to talk about today.
We've all heard the saying, "Feedback is a gift." But what about feedback that feels a little less gifty and a little more nit-picky? It can hurt and the words stick with you. In this eppie, the Power Girls get real-real about how to push through tough feedback and use it to fuel your development.
On this eppie, we’re going to discuss other places where networking is highly effective, like when you already have a job, or in pursuit of a hobby or passion project. Spoiler alert - it's not any more complicated this time around than it was what we chatted about networking for a job. Oh and it's also the reason this podcast exists!
“Networking” has become one of those career buzz words. And it’s most often used in the context of finding your next job, with the rationale that those who are more visible are more likely to be offered the “choice roles.” Yet as straightforward as this seems, networking tends to be one of the more elusive topics. In this eppie, we’ll talk about how to go about networking for the purposes of finding your next opportunity, how to make the process easier and more importantly, less awkward.
If you've ever worked with a job search firm or a career coach, you may have heard the advice to not share anything personal about yourself that would potentially screen you out of the hiring process. In this eppie, we’ll uncover why being your whole self in an interview is important and share some of the best questions to ask your potential manager to probe for a female-friendly culture.
