  • Reinventing Your Career After a Layoff: Expert Advice for Navigating the Job Market After a Long Absence w/ John Tarnoff
    Jun 21 2024

    EPISODE SUMMARY:

    In this episode, we dive into the journey of turning setbacks into successes, especially for those who have been out of the job market for a significant period. Our guest John Tarnoff, a trusted advisor and thought leader, shares personal experiences from a career in the volatile entertainment industry, where being fired 39% of the time became a catalyst for reinvention.

    Drawing from years of teaching senior-level professionals how to secure great jobs despite ageism and a broken hiring system, John offers contrarian advice that challenges conventional wisdom:

    • Don't follow your passion; find your usefulness. Passion is fleeting, but your skills and how you can be of service are enduring.
    • Your resume won't get you hired. It's about demonstrating your value in ways that resonate beyond paper.
    • Assessments are pointless. Focus on showcasing your real-world impact instead.
    • Stop applying to jobs you can do; attract the jobs you were born to do. Your unique abilities and experiences make you the perfect fit for specific roles.
    • Confidence comes last. Don’t wait for it; act first and let confidence follow.

    We explore how to stop complaining about ageism and instead, actively demonstrate your value.

    This episode provides actionable insights on reinventing yourself, overcoming outdated business cultures, and navigating the job market with a fresh, empowered perspective.

    Tune in to learn how to transform your career setbacks into your most significant comebacks.
