Your resume doesn’t mention AI.

You might think that’s neutral.

A hiring manager may read it as a sign you’re avoiding it.

When I review resumes and LinkedIn profiles, AI is one of the first things I look for, whatever field you’re in.

On this week’s Careering with Cameron podcast, I sat down with my good friend Colleen DiFabio, founder of Bi3 Careers.

Colleen has spent 25 years connecting talented people with the companies that need them, and she sees the same thing from the hiring side.

Here’s what she told me:

→ Naming the tools you’ve used won’t get you far. She wants to hear how AI helped you make a process faster or smarter.
→ It’s never too late to start. The most senior person on her team went all in for almost a full day, and he now advises clients on AI strategy.
→ If you’re weighing up consulting after a layoff, the same applies. Clients expect consultants to arrive already confident with AI.

You've sent 200 applications and heard back from three.

No wonder you're starting to doubt yourself.

But the grads who break through aren't applying to everything. They believe in what they bring, and they get properly curious about the few companies they'd love to join.

On this week's Careering with Cameron podcast, I spoke with Shelley Maley, PHR, CCSP, founder of Dreamcatcher Career Coaching, LLC.

Shelley spent eight years coaching students in higher education and now helps new grads and interns get noticed.

When the replies don't come, it's easy to let your mind run away with it, and that frustration can creep into every conversation.

Shelley helps grads keep their belief in themselves, because the right conversation with the right person still opens doors.

Then there's the outside work. Get curious about the companies you'd actually love to work for.

Learn what they do, and reach out to them directly. That way you're a person they remember, not just another name on a pile.

Parents, pass this to your student. Students, send it to your friend!

There's a question most people never get asked at the start of their career.
Not what job do you want.

Not what did you study.

But what has always made you come alive when you're doing it?

I sat down with Michelle Schafer on the Careering with Cameron podcast this week and that question sat at the heart of everything we talked about.

Michelle is a career coach and author with over a decade of helping people find work that genuinely fits!

She's seen what happens when people don’t ask themselves this question.

They take whatever comes, one step leads to another, and years later they realise they've never once felt lit up by any of it.

The conversation also got into something that doesn't get said enough to people early on. Your first boss shapes more than your first job.

Worth sharing with someone who's just starting out.

If you're in a job search right now, AI is already part of the process whether you're using it or not.

It's screening your application before a human sees it.

It's what your competition is using to apply at a scale and speed that wasn't possible two years ago.

And it's behind the rejection emails that arrive before you've finished your morning coffee.

I sat down with Patrick Callahan from Keel3 on the Careering with Cameron podcast this week to get a realistic picture of what's actually happening from someone who has been inside this world for a long time.

The conversation covered how to get started with AI without the overwhelm, what you should never put into a public tool when you're job searching, and the bigger question of what genuinely makes a candidate stand out when AI is levelling the playing field for everyone else.

Well worth a listen if you've been wondering where you actually fit in all of this.

Most people treat a job rejection like a final answer.

They feel the sting, close the laptop, and move on.

The company never hears from them again.

But what if the rejection wasn't actually final?

What if the person who sent it had never seen your application?

What if the role wasn't as closed as the email made it sound?

In this solo episode of the Careering with Cameron podcast I walk through why responding after a rejection, thoughtfully, genuinely, without desperation, puts you in a category almost no other candidate reaches.

The way you handle a no often tells a company more about you than how you handled everything before it.

Your first paycheck comes with a lot of decisions nobody prepares you for.

I sat down with financial advisor Todd Roselle on the Careering with Cameron podcast this week and we went through the decisions that feel minor at the start but turn out to matter more than almost anything else that follows.

What your first paycheck actually needs to do.

Why the way you save in your twenties changes everything about your options later.

And a point Todd made about career progression that has nothing to do with money but everything to do with how quickly people move.

Worth sharing with anyone at the start of their careers.

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.

💭 What percentage of your job search time is spent applying online vs building real relationships and has that ratio been working for you?

Most people who feel stuck at work assume the answer is out there somewhere.

A new job.

A new company.

A fresh start.

But what if the thing blocking you has nothing to do with any of that?

I sat down with Mark Vandeneijnde from BEING at Full Potential on the Careering with Cameron podcast this week and he made a really great distinction.

There's a difference between feeling depressed about your situation and recognising that something is blocked.

One puts the problem somewhere you can't reach.

The other puts it somewhere you can actually do something about.

We also got into why the rise of AI is going to demand more of what makes us human, not less.

And he mentioned a free assessment worth taking if you've been feeling like something's off but can't quite name what it is.

What if the biggest obstacle in your job search isn't the market?

What if it's the story you're telling yourself about it?

I sat down with Joshua Green on the Careering with Cameron podcast recently.

Joshua is an entrepreneur and narrative intelligence coach and he explains that your brain is a story machine, not a truth machine.

Whatever story is running is shaping everything that follows.

We also got into something that I think is one of the smartest job search moves…

Targeting companies that aren't currently hiring.

No hiring fatigue or competition, just a real conversation with someone who's genuinely happy to hear from you.

There's also a newspaper experiment in this episode that I won't give away. But it explains exactly why some people keep missing opportunities that are right in front of them.

What if the traditional career path was never built for you?

For a lot of neurodivergent people, entrepreneurship isn't a bold choice

It's the direction they find themselves heading when everything else stops fitting.

I sat down with ‌Haley Moss on the Careering with Cameron podcast this week

Hayley is an autistic attorney, author of five books and neurodiversity advocate

We talked about the difference between a hobby, a side hustle and a business. About the moment a passion stops being joyful and starts feeling like a job. And the three things she wishes someone had told her before she started.
