Episode 4

Wednesday, January 14, 2026 • Duration 09:50

Episode Notes

Guest: Rick Boyer: Job Transition Coach, Podcast Host, Author

Industry: The Job Hunt Insider: Building a Network That Helps You Find a Job

Episode Summary: This episode of The Job Hunt Insider focuses on networking. From chapter 3 of his new book, host Rick Boyer focuses on helping job seekers build a practical, effective network from a hiring manager’s perspective, emphasizing that successful job opportunities often come through relationships rather than job boards alone. It reframes networking as intentional relationship-building rather than awkward self-promotion, encourages openly but strategically sharing career goals, and highlights that opportunities can arise from unexpected personal and professional circles. This episode outlines five core ideas—overcoming discomfort, expanding where you look for connections, thinking beyond traditional “professional” contacts, staying in touch before you need help, and being strategic without being public—while stressing reciprocity and consistency. It concludes with a clear action plan to immediately reconnect with people, communicate exploration rather than need, help others, and maintain relationships over time as a long-term career asset.

From the episode: Action Plan for Networking Now

Decide what you’re exploring for , not what you’re “asking for.”
Write down five people you could reconnect with this week.
Send one low-pressure message today.
Look for one way to help someone else .
Keep relationships fresh—don’t wait until you need it.

Episode 5

Wednesday, January 28, 2026 • Duration 13:37

Guest: Rick Boyer: Job Transition Coach, Podcast Host, Author

Industry: The Job Hunt Insider: A 5-Step Interview Process

Episode Summary: This episode of The Job Hunt Insider focuses on interviewing. From chapter 5 of his new book, host Rick Boyer breaks down interviewing from a hiring manager’s perspective and reframes it as a sales conversation rather than an evaluation. Rick introduces a practical five-step interview process—find the need, gain confidence, sell a solution, anticipate objections, and make the close—designed to help job seekers approach interviews with clarity, confidence, and strategy. Drawing from real-world experience on both sides of the interview table, the episode explains how to diagnose what a company actually needs, align past experience to those problems, proactively address concerns, and clearly express interest at the end. The focus throughout is on preparation, listening, and positioning yourself as a solution, not just a candidate, offering immediately actionable guidance for anyone actively job hunting or looking to improve their interview results.

From the episode: A Practical Takeaway You Can Apply Today

Before your next interview:

- Write down what problem you believe the company is trying to solve

- Identify two experiences that directly connect to that problem

- Decide how you’ll express interest at the end

Ep.6 – The Job Hunt Insider: Salary Negotiation

Episode 6

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 11:57

Guest: Rick Boyer: Job Transition Coach, Podcast Host, Author

Industry: The Job Hunt Insider: Salary Negotiation

Episode Summary: This episode of The Job Hunt Insider focuses on salary negotiation. From chapter 6 of his new book, host Rick Boyer tackles one of the most stressful moments in the job search, and reframes it as a professional, collaborative conversation rather than a confrontation. Drawing on firsthand experience as a hiring manager, recruiter partner, and job seeker, Rick explains why knowing your true salary range before the conversation is critical, why you should never disclose that range to an employer, and how ethical employers are often aligned with candidates in wanting fair, sustainable compensation. Through practical guidance and a real-world story, the episode shows how clarity, preparation, and confidence can transform fear into leverage, helping job seekers make better long-term career decisions—even when walking away is the right choice.

From the episode: A Practical Takeaway You Can Apply Today

Before your next salary negotiation:

- Calculate your true minimum—no shortcuts.

- Research the market to understand a realistic maximum.

- Commit to keeping your range private.

- Practice framing salary as a collaboration, not a demand.

- Decide in advance what “walking away” looks like—so fear doesn’t make the decision for you.
