The Shocking Truth: A recent IT Manager posting received 1,600 applications.

Your odds of getting hired?

Worse than becoming a NASA astronaut.

Your perfect resume?

Never even opened.

In this episode, you'll discover:

- Why AI-powered application tools have made the odds impossibly worse

✓ Professionals ready to abandon outdated job search methods

How to Maintain Hope and Confidence During Your Executive Career Transition

The average executive search now spans 6-9 months.

If you're feeling the weight of an extended transition, you're not alone, and more importantly, you're not broken. Our panel has guided over 3,000 executives through successful transitions, and they're here to share what actually works. Our experts reveal the #1 mental trap that derails even the most accomplished leaders and, more importantly, how to recognize when you're falling into it.

Forget generic advice about "staying positive." Our panelists share the exact daily structures their most successful clients use. Radio silence hurts differently at the executive level.

Listen in as Debra, Norma, and Allan address the reframe that transforms rejection into intelligence, specific exercises to rebuild executive presence after setback, and when to follow up and when to let go because extended interview processes have become the norm, not the exception.

Reclaim your opportunities today.
