In this episode, we explore a topic that's crucial for everyone: Career Transitioning. We’re joined by a very special guest, Julia Rock—Founder of Rock Career Development, TEDx & Keynote Speaker, LinkedIn Top Voice, and member of the Forbes Coaches Council. We had a fascinating discussion about the growing demand and interest in the tech industry, while also exploring the wealth of opportunities available in other sectors. We took a deep dive into the potential of industries like healthcare, energy, and more. We also reflected on the foundations of a successful career transition, focusing on transferable skills. Julia shared valuable insights on how to identify and leverage these skills to position yourself effectively, so other industries can clearly see the value you bring. Additionally, we discussed the mindset you should adopt when approaching a career change to a new industry—how to make an organization see your worth, even without direct experience in that field—and how to build a new network in the industry you wish to transition to.

In this episode, we talk with Patricia Ortega, founder of Uncommon Career, about the emotional ups and downs that come with job searching. We explore how this is a process all job seekers must go through. Together with Patricia, we analyze tools and strategies that can help navigate challenges or rejection during the job hunt. We also discuss the importance of having clarity about what you want, building personal connections, and adopting an entrepreneurial mindset as an employee.

Are you the victim or the victor of your story? 

Do you think you are unlucky and that nothing good happens to you? 

Well the truth is that I used to think that way.  

I used to look at my life and think of all the negative things and ignore the bad. 

Then I was introduced to a growth mindset. 

When I shifted how I looked at the world, the world literally changed for the positive. 

That is when I realized that our environment and our surroundings do not define us. 

Now, I get that this is easier said than done, but it is something we need to focus on. 

That is why on this episode of the podcast I brought my friend Justin Schenck to the show. 

Justin has been able to overcome massive obstacles and beat out the statistics. 

Now Justin has a thriving community and host one of the best podcasts around Growth Now Movement. 

Where he has interviewed some of the most successful people alive. 

Including Dean Graziosi ,Ed Mylett and Andy Frisella. 

And on this episode of the podcast we talk about : 

• Building a growth mindset and overcoming limiting beliefs.
• The 5 types of people you need in your life.
• How to network with people outside of your circle. 

If you have been struggling with imposter syndrome and having negative thoughts, take 30 minutes to listen to this episode now.

If you had the chance to interview 30 recruiters from companies like Google, BCG, Airbnb, and Tiktok what would you ask them?

How helpful do you think it would be towards your job search advice?

Do you think it will give you an under hand?

The answer is obvious.

This information is extremely powerful and will give you the upper hand in the job search process.

So that is why I had to bring my friend AJ Eckstein to the podcast. AJ Eckstein is the host of The Final Round Podcast, in which he interviews recruiters from the world's top companies.

During this episode, AJ and I discuss common advice that recruiters he has interviewed have mentioned. We also speak about how to network your way to the interview and much more.

If you ever wanted to learn what recruiters thought during the hiring process and and wondered what is the secret to networking, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.

When you apply to a job you are usually one of hundreds applicants! Statistically speaking it feels like a losing battle. But here are 2 things you can do to dramatically improve your chances of getting noticed. Stop using the stay and pray approach. Focus on networking to gain visibility The reality is that companies might get hundreds of applications but most people are not qualified since they are applying to everything. If you want to learn more about this topic I had Mac Prichard on the podcast. He found Mac’s list over 20 years ago and host the top podcast in job search “Find Your Dream Job” with over 2 million downloads. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.

Getting a job in America is very different from getting a job in another country. Yet most international students don’t change their approach. The fact is that many things that made you successful in your country can be the things holding you back. To explore this topic more we had Rob Adams a cross cultural expert and founder of Chai & Coaching to the podcast. In this episode we spoke about the biggest culture difference between America and Asia and what international students need to do differently to stand out. Check out this episode to learn more!!

We assume that graduating and getting a job is the finish line, but it is the start of a marathon. The problem is that this marathon is very different than the one we just finished. During our school years, we had structure. We were told what to do to get to the next grade and even graduate. But in the career marathon, we don't have the level of support. It is up to us to own our careers and be strategic so that we can continue to level up. That is why in today’s episode of the How to Land a Job podcast I brought Maya Grossman to the show. She is a Peak Performance coach with over 15 Years of experience, a best-selling author, and ex-Google and marketing. So if you want to own your career make sure you check out the show.

How important is GPA when it comes to getting hired? I graduated college with a 2.9 GPA. This is something that I am not proud of, and in fact, if I could give myself some advice about GPA this is what I would tell myself knowing what I know today. You should look at your GPA like you look at your Credit Score! This is because companies look at it like this. 3.5-4.0 GPA = Perfect credit 3.0-3.4 GPA = Good credit 2.0- 2.9 GPA = Poor Credit The key here is to get to a good credit score. This will be enough to get your application approved. However, if you reach the threshold the incremental benefits of raising your GPA decimals are very minimum. At this point, I would suggest focusing your efforts on networking, internships, and student organizations. Your GPA has little to no effect on your future employment opportunities after your first job or your first 2 years after graduation. The only other thing that GPA becomes relevant again is if you are applying for grad school. So I would tell young Daniel to focus just a little bit more and make sure that I graduate with a 3.0 GPA, not a 2.9. If you want to learn more about this check out the last episode of the podcast as I cover this topic and give you details on how to handle your GPA in College!

Have you ever been ghosted? Well, you are not alone. Getting ghosted is by far one of the most frustrating things about the job search process. But did you know there are things you can do to minimize or eliminate ghosting all together? In this week’s episode of the podcast, I have a conversation with my mentee Ashley Ortiz Ashley has worked in recruiting for companies like Disney, Sea World, and Marriot. We have a conversation about the job of a recruiter. Why does ghosting happen And what can job seekers do to avoid it and increase their chances of getting hired So if you are tired of getting ghosted, then this is the episode for you!

You got a summer internship congratulations! But how do you turn it into a full time job? Here is thing that if you do will practically guarantee you get the offer!! #1. Understand how you are being measured. Have a clear understanding of what your Key Performance indicators (KPIs) are. #2 Have bi-weekly check up calls with your manager Make sure you and your manager are on the same page. Review your KPIs and make sure you are doing a great job #3 Network with as many people as possible Make it a goal to grab lunch or a zoom call with at least 2 new people a week. Keep a record of each call and make sure you keep the conversation going. #4 Be a leader among your peers You don’t need a title to be a leader. Volunteer to help organize event for the interns and show your leadership skills # 5 Ask for the full time job Don’t be afraid to communicate with your manger and HR that you are looking to build a career with the organization. Ask them what do you need to do in order to get the full time offer. At the end of the day it is in the companies best interest to give it to you! If you want to learn more about these steps check out the latest episode of the How to get a job podcast where I dive into each step in more detail.

Most international students make the same three mistakes when it comes to job searching. In this episode, I will talk about what they are and how you can avoid making them. 

My goal is to DEBUNK the 3 biggest myths most international students believe about finding a job:
 

Myth #1: If you apply for enough jobs, you will eventually get one company to say yes.
Pro-tip: When it comes to job hunting in 2022, Quality matters much more than Quantity.

Myth #2: You are missing one more certification or degree.
Pro-tip: Odds are that your resume or skills are not the problem. You need more visibility. 

Myth #3: Your experience is holding you back from landing your dream job.
Pro-tip: Companies care more about your potential than your experience. You just have to learn how to communicate it.

After being rejected from Google, Facebook and LinkedIn, Basant has shown how resilience is an act of character everyone should uphold.

How do other people define you? If your colleagues and acquaintances were asked to describe you, would it be positive? 

In this week’s episode, I sat down with Briar Dougherty, founder of Career Organic, to talk more about how we are not what other people think we are. Instead, we are who we think we are.

We at Mastering College to Career wanted to better cater to our audience, and felt that we should include you in our title, so How To Get A Job: College Student Edition was born. While our name may have changed, our mission here is exactly the same: To help you get a job. 

What if I told you that you can get over 90 companies to reach out to hire you without ever applying online? Would you believe me? 

Well, Kevin Olivieri wanted to take control of his job search process. Instead of applying online and waiting for companies to reach out to him, he took the road less traveled.

On this week’s episode, Kevin explains exactly how he got over 300,000 visits and over 9,000 reactions to his resume.

And, don’t forget to watch both this video and this video to see Kevin’s strategy and to see how you can implement it as well!

Hello, MC2C family, Daniel here! This week I will be discussing how visibility is key.

You’ll be able to take hold of your image and use it to your advantage after learning these three simple steps:

1. How visibility is more important than ability when applying for your first job
2. Why the current way of looking for a job doesn’t work
3. How to utilize an event to beat over 95% of all candidates.

Knowing how to do these three things can mean the difference between getting your dream job or having to resort to your back-up plan.

So, whether you’ve already finished the course, you’re completing it now, or you have yet to start, here’s your reminder that without visibility, you’ll fade into the background.
