Last week, six people working with Talent Connect receive job offers.
Only one applied through a traditional job posting.
The other five networked their way in
Through direct relationships, warm introductions, and conversations with companies that weren't even hiring yet.
In this solo episode of the Careering with Cameron podcast I break down how that happened, why applying online alone is working against you, and the three shifts that actually move the needle right now.
I also get into the mental side of being ghosted and why silence from a stranger has no business deciding how you feel about yourself or your search.
