Helping job seekers revitalize their networking strategy in Q3 | Conversations > Applications ✌️

I believe you should be able to obtain your career dreams and that’s what I help professionals do. 

My clients have landed roles at Oracle, Deloitte, EY, Tata Consultancy, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Eaton, Salesforce, KPMG, PWC, Dell, Higher Education or started their own venture 😌

But, landing your dream role doesn’t happen by chance, or with me creating an offer letter for you. My most successful clients know it takes hard work, patience, and perseverance.

The results? Massive career pivots, finding clarity in what you wanted to do, landing your target role in 2 months, and getting 2x your current salary. 

Ultimately, the people I work with feel respected, valued, and paid fairly in their career path.

I am a career coach guiding frustrated mid-career professionals to their target roles by teaching them to have the right conversations with the right people

I specialize in 1:1 coaching that covers job search strategy and career clarity.

Sick of hearing from me?  Scroll 👇🏼  to see what my clients have to say

Note: All opinions expressed are solely my own and not of any employers

Who am I and why should you listen to me?

I was an underdog, I never had the perfect GPA, experience, or stories to tell and I still broke into the #1 professional service firm in the world. Before that, I spent time in public accounting, start-ups, and fortune 500 companies.

But... your LinkedIn doesn't show a recruitment or hiring team experience?

They were internships and I decided to remove them. Hiring isn't rocket science + I had the below opportunity

I sat behind the scenes in HR and watched resumes pile in, held phone screens and reference checks, and interviewed candidates, and rejected candidates (yes, all while utilizing an ATS). 

I’ve seen how treacherous the job searching process can be; automated rejections, ghosting, 14 rounds of interviews, and 250 applications a week. I don’t want you to have to live in the process that every candidate believes to be normal.

I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, and also had the opportunity to live in Austin, Texas for four years. After four years, incredible weather, and "Keep Austin Weird" vibes, I finally decided that I missed home and wanted to see the Browns win a Superbowl. I headed back to Cleveland and started working with my dream company + starting my own business. I'm an avid sports fan, enjoy being active, and spending time with my family + and friends

I've seen people take two full weeks off during this holiday split.

I've also seen people working straight through, treating it like any other December.

I've watched job seekers pause everything until January. I've also watched job seekers send connection requests on December 27th and land interviews by January 2nd.

I've known hiring managers who go dark for weeks. I've also known hiring managers who are online right now, reviewing profiles and responding to messages.

The calendar split this year means fewer people are taking extended time off. Most are working at least part of this week.

As someone who's coached hundreds through career transitions, my advice hasn't changed: Don't wait for January if you're serious about your search.

Today's a perfect day to send 5-10 messages, go deep on research, and start conversations.

People are still working this week.

Tap in where you can and then go have a day 🤝

Platforms don’t hire you, people do | Career Coach | Creating content to make your search go a level deep than “easy apply”

Last week I realized I no longer submit quarterly reviews to a boss.

I am the boss now.

Here's what the last 90 days of running my own business looked like:

- Survived 3 months
- Held 50+ calls with job seekers
- Didn't touch a penny of my savings
- Joined Favikon for their partner program
- Landed ~$500K in compensation for clients
- Started engaging in pure recruitment services
- Generated 450K impressions with LinkedIn content
- Built a community for conversation > applications with ~20 active members

Sitting in plan for 2026 right now

But I forgot to celebrate the work and be honest about the story.

Every week has been a rollercoaster.
I wish someone had shared that earlier with me.

But I love it so much.
It's a privilege to wake up and serve professionals.

Here's to waking up and treating it like day one 🤝

Ps) these are the highlights, no mistakes/failures pictured

Get out in the world. 
Go do things you enjoy. 
Go push yourself to tears. 
Go hang around people you love.

The world is waiting for you.

Houston. Thank you 🤝

I predict career coaching will grow over the next 10 years as organizations have less and less people who care about the growth of those beneath them. They won't spend the time to develop their people because AI was supposed to replace their job. 

Coaching doesn’t replace managers, it replaces the development that no longer exists.

You have to love every single part of the game. And that's my favorite thing about training for a race or serving professionals. 

It will not bounce your way a majority of the time until the ONE week that it does and you dominate because you stayed ready. 

If I'm not with friends, this is what I love doing. 

Have a Sunday 🤝

Ps) t-minus one week until Houston marathon

"If someone came to you today saying 'the market is terrible,' how would you response now?"

I asked this to a professional in my program this morning who landed a role before Christmas, their answer:

"It probably is. It's a tough market and from conversations I had, strategic hiring is what's been happening and what is happening"

You don't gain anything by not admitting it. 

It brutal out there, now let's get to work 🤝

I will be your random guy on LinkedIn every single day of the week. 

S/o LinkedIn for giving me a platform.
Blue badge or not, I'll be here rocking 🤝

Founder @ SalesBrand | LinkedIn executive brand and content consultancy | Over half a billion organic LinkedIn views

The LinkedIn Top Voice blue badge summed up in two images.

1. Mel Robbins: world famous author and writer, sold millions of books, has 40 million followers across social media, gets thousands and thousands of engagements per post.

2. Dominic Imwalle: random guy, with a solo consulting business in Texas, gets 20 likes per post

UPDATE 1:

There is a third category. Big LinkedIn-native influencers. I know some of them. Top Voice for them makes sense.

UPDATE 2:

There appears to be a Blue Badge purge going on at LinkedIn right now. People are losing them left and right. So we will see how this all shakes out.

A great leader is not just a good manager - 

It's someone who transforms your entire career trajectory.

If you're 5-15 years into your career and you haven't worked under a leader who:

- Demands a high quality work product
- Requires you to share your story
- Requires you to document your story
- Magnifies where you've won
- Gives you room to grow in losses
- Helps you develop other leaders
- Gives you autonomy to find a project you enjoy
- Teaches you how to navigate compensation

Then I highly recommend working this entire year to find someone like this. 

Note: It could take a few years and still be worth it.

I watched a client almost quit 10 minutes into the role research I asked them to do.

"Where do I fit in?"

The job search spiral is real.

Where do I find roles?
What's the next role title?
Who wants to bring me into the fold?

But it's easy to miss the point when you get started.
The exercise isn't to find your next job immediately.

Sure, there should be some targets.

But the goal is to find interesting people and let the lane emerge through the conversations.

This especially goes for folks who are currently employed and looking to make a slow move in Q1 of 2026.

You have time to:

- Build relationships before you need them
- Explore what roles actually interest you
- Let opportunities surface naturally
- Double down on folks you know

Could you land a role by mass applying today?
Of course, it's just going to burn you out faster.

I've watched clients transform their search when they stopped hunting and started connecting.

The conversations reveal the path.

So, are you searching for a job or building toward one?

Don't idolize the LinkedIn profile - validate it with questions. Here's the shift:

You finally land a call with someone whose career looks perfect on paper.

Senior title. Dream company. Impressive trajectory.

You're ready to absorb every word like gospel.

But here's where most people get it wrong.

They treat the conversation like a masterclass instead of a discovery call.

Avoid:

- Taking every piece of advice as absolute truth.
- Forgetting to test their perspective against others.
- Leaving without understanding what didn't work.
- Nodding along without challenging ideas.
- Assuming their path is the only path.

Run towards:

- Digging into the failures, not just wins.
- Asking what they'd do differently today.
- Testing their advice against your situation.
- Treating their experience as one data point.
- Comparing their insights to other conversations.
- Following up with what you learned elsewhere.

Why does this matter?
Because their LinkedIn tells a story, not the story.

What worked for them might not work for you.
Your job isn't to copy - it's to collect evidence.

When you treat people like hypotheses instead of saviors, you stop worshipping profiles and start building your own playbook.

That's how you make smarter moves in the market.

Test everything, believe selectively ✌🏼

Ps) this is what I spent a Saturday coaching session discussing, it pays to spend time with the right people to uncover where you're headed!

Job seekers focus on what they can't control.

The interview invite, the recruiter's response, the offer timing.

What about the work you can do today?

Here's what's in your control right now --

1) Who are you reaching out to this week?
2) How do you deliver your story?
3) Where are you showing up consistently?

The interview comes later. The offer comes after that.

But the outreach? The conversations? The visibility?
That's today's work.

Control the inputs, trust the outcomes ✌️

When you shift to conversations > applications, tracking the right signals separates good networking from great networking.

Watch for these leading indicators:

- They offered to introduce you to someone in their network.
- They asked how they could be helpful moving forward.
- They gave you a name to mention in your outreach.
- They connected your background to a specific role.
- They shared internal context you couldn't find online.
- The insights you gained helped you take action.
- They followed up after the conversation ended.
- They asked about your next steps or timeline.

These are all signs of a networking conversation that moved the needle.

But, one signal alone doesn't mean much.

Therefore, when multiple indicators show up in the same conversation, you've built the type of connection that actually leads to opportunities.

When conversations feel like they're going nowhere, look for these signals.

Most people see job seekers as statistics, not individuals. That’s where everything goes wrong.

You have the opportunity to change someone’s life. 

One call. One message. One offer.

You gain nothing from showing up to an interaction with anything less.

Have a Saturday 🤝

Ps) ShareAura is an elite running app where I thought about this post.

I'm confused why you'd use anything other than beehiiv to run your newsletter in 2026. 

I have a small list I'm writing to on roughly a weekly basis, from there I can:

- Refer people to other newsletters I love. 
- Manage products that are relevant for subscribers.
- "Vibe code" into a new landing page for people.
- Monetize w/ ads few different ways (take home all of it).
- Own all digital assets in one platform vs. multiple sites. 

Better yet, they have an awesome team supporting you 24/7. I remember when they first kicked off and I was in a slack chat asking questions + getting 1:1 support. 

Even more, you hear from Tyler Denk 🐝 pretty often on what's next. 

Also gotta s/o Daniel Berk 🐝 who keeps me hooked.

If you need a newsletter platform, run here 🤝

The job search isn't glamorous, but it's where you build the momentum that matters.

We're often waiting for the "right" opportunity.

But most days, it's just you doing the work.
No one's watching, no one's cheering.

What does that work actually look like?

- Reaching out to who they recommended
- Connecting your experience to their pain
- Finding the company in your field
- Crafting the email to the hiring team
- Tweaking your resume or LinkedIn
- Taking action after the conversation
- Crafting the connection request
- Finding the person to contact
- Scheduling the conversation
- Finding the role you like
- Holding the conversation

And the list goes on.
This is the work you can control.

When you take the gut punch from 8+ interviews that didn't go your way?

You go back to this work.
You create another opportunity.

These are all steps I've seen create wins for people. 
Run back here if you're struggling 🤝

I promise you won’t regret getting out in your community for a few hours and serving others. 6,300 meals produced!

S/o Central Texas Food Bank for making it easy to do so on a week night 🤝

Production Lead

A dynamic leader with robust experience in executive assistance, project management, production, and compliance experience within highly regulated industries.

My career isn’t linear. It's a lattice. I started as a designer within the fashion industry.  Now, I’m managing CEO calendars, production teams, and supply chains, and overseeing multiple, concurrent large-scale government projects.

I launched my career heading up an import design division where both my creative and organizational skills emerged.  Led the technical and creative production teams, planned the product line from end to end, and built out new workflow processes and SOPs.

I learned that I love to enjoy being the oil that keeps things running smoothly.

My unique value is my ability to serve as a linkage across CEOs and teams, leveraging my creative, business, and organizational skills to influence outcomes. Now, I’m equipped to support stakeholders with data to drive administration, production, and supply chains forward.

If I could write a book, I’d call it, 𝑨𝒏 𝑶𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑴𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒇𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒐 - 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒃𝒚 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑩𝒊𝒈-𝑷𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒆𝒇𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑫𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒔.
