What happens when pushing for more in your career starts to wear you down instead of building you up?
In this episode of Imjaysun, we look at the pressure to always chase the next big win — and what it means to stay in the game when the push becomes too much. With reflections from a story written over 20 years ago, this episode explores why sometimes not losing is the healthiest move you can make.
Interviews aren’t performances—they’re conversations. In this episode, I explore why so many job seekers struggle to speak naturally in interviews and how to shift from scripted answers to real connection. With coaching insights and a personal story, this episode helps you find your rhythm and show up as the expert in your own experience.
Some people start over once. Others do it over and over—by choice or by force. In this episode of Imjaysun, we sit with the discomfort of having to begin again.
Whether it’s a layoff, a shift in identity, or the quiet decision to walk away from something that no longer fits, starting over can bring grief, uncertainty, and even shame. But there's something powerful in recognizing that each new beginning means you’re still in motion. You're still trying. And that matters.
When you search online for tips on job searching you will have a multitude of resources made available to you. Not only that, you will also have experts posting on employment and social media sites with recommendations, suggestions and/or proven ways to find employment. How do you filter through it all?
This episode talks about how to find current resources in your search, how to identify resources for your area and how to incorporate what you learn from any expert into your career strategy to successfully find employment.
Are you at a career crossroads and contemplating walking away from the career plan you created for yourself? Do you feel uncomfortable about being stalled or possibly looking backward in your career more as you question your decisions?
We're talking about working through the pain in our careers today in this episode...and I get to my point pretty fast here - which actually shocked me because I scrubbed my original episode idea to talk about this topic.
We’ve all been there—standing in front of the mirror before an interview, picking apart everything we see. Self-doubt creeps in, imposter syndrome whispers in our ear, and suddenly, we question if we even belong in the room. But what if we flipped the script?
In this episode of Imjaysun, I dive into the pain of seeing our own reflection during the job search—the discomfort of facing our fears, insecurities, and perceived shortcomings. But instead of letting those doubts define us, we’ll explore how to reframe our mindset, recognize our strengths, and walk into every opportunity with confidence.
Because the mirror doesn’t lie—you are capable, qualified, and ready.
It’s March—feeling stuck in your job search while others are landing jobs? Doubt creeping in? Let’s talk about trusting the process, your skills, and yourself—because your breakthrough is coming.
Also, the opening music for this episode is from the Podcastle stock music called "Free to Roam."
Ever felt stuck or tired, questioning why you’re on your current career path? In this episode, I dive into the discomfort that comes with discovering your true motivation.
From self-doubt to fear of change, uncover why the struggle is part of the process.
Also, learn how to embrace the pain, push through the uncertainty, and stay focused on your long-term career goals. Because sometimes, the struggle is the sign you’re on the right path.
New year, new season and new episode...which brings so much gain from the struggles and development of previous years, seasons and episodes. I talk about the new year and new theme for myself in my career and personally - recognizing the pain and knowing there will be a gain.
Just having a conversation about game planning for our year and moving our careers forward when pain happens - but our goal is to get to the gains and growth of the situation.
I hope you enjoy it.
