Do you have a plan you are following to find a new job? Without the right to-do list it can take a long time to secure a new job. 

I help job seekers understand how to look for work more effectively and land a job faster. 

What I do is equip people who are serious about managing their careers with the strategies and tools to market themselves during job search (and forever). It's about creating a reputation of excellence and connecting with people you need to know in person or virtually!

Job Search Strategist

Here's exactly what you should do to prepare for an interview. 

Be prepared.
Be confident. 
Focus on listening, not worrying about what you'll be asked!

Interview preparation for confidence

STOP BRINGING YOUR RESUME TO NETWORKING MEETINGS

If you're job hunting, you might think you need a polished resume before you can start networking.

You don't.

You don't need a completed resume to start having meaningful career conversations. Once you understand why, you'll never feel the need to bring it to a networking meeting again.

WOULD YOU SHARE YOUR RESUME IF YOU ALREADY HAD A JOB?

Imagine you're happily employed and someone asks to meet for coffee. 

Would you bring your resume?

Of course not.

So why do you feel like you need one just because you're job searching? What you actually need is a purpose for the meeting, a few good questions, and a willingness to listen and learn.

NETWORKING IS NOT ABOUT LANDING A JOB. IT'S ABOUT LEARNING.

The best networking conversations aren't job pitches. They're mutual exchanges of insights, experiences, and ideas.

When you lead with "I'm job hunting," you risk shifting the focus off information gathering to "do you know of any jobs?" (This is not likely to help you).

THINK OF NETWORKING AS GETTING SOME FRESH AIR

→ Advice on career moves, job search strategies, or changing direction 
→ Information about companies, industry trends, or future opportunities 
→ Recommendations for people to meet, groups to join, or skills to develop

The best networkers don't wait until they need something to start showing up. They build relationships consistently so when opportunities arise, they're already in the room.

COME PREPARED WITH SMART QUESTIONS

Thoughtful questions signal curiosity and make conversations memorable. Try these:
→ "What challenges are you seeing in [industry] right now?" 
→ "Have you or your team tried any new approaches lately?" 
→ "What trends do you think will have the biggest impact this year?"

These open the door to real dialogue rather than a one-sided pitch.

YOU HAVE VALUE TO OFFER, TOO

You've gained insights, experiences, and lessons worth sharing.

Think about who you've already met on your networking journey. What stories or tips could you pass along? When you show up as a connector and a resource, you become someone people genuinely want to stay in touch with.

WHAT IF SOMEONE ASKS FOR YOUR RESUME?

That's usually a sign that the purpose of your meeting wasn't clear from the start.

Get ahead of it by sharing your LinkedIn profile in your meeting request and being upfront that you're there to learn, not to pitch yourself.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Networking is about building relationships and uncovering opportunities long before a job posting goes live.

Show up curious, prepared, and confident. No paper required.

Here's a challenge for every job seeker this week: 

🤯 Instead of obsessing over how to use AI to customize your resume, why not use it to help you identify target companies? 

🤯 Instead of learning AI to improve your resume bullets, why not create a prompt to find related roles/job titles you may be a good fit for?

🤯 Instead of investing time finding job boards and recruiters, invest in reaching out to people you worked with, volunteer with, went to school with, did business with, or know.

🎯 Focus on human-to-human interactions. 

Learning AI skills isn't wrong or bad...
but 
is it distracting you from building relationships and connecting with people?  

There are tools you can test for free to help with your resume customization. Have you tried either of these?

And practice AI interview tools also exist.

Rather than build your own, save time and use tools that already exist!

#SkillsOnTheRise

It doesn't matter what industry you're in... these skills are on the rise. 

This is how LinkedIn compiled the list: 
"LinkedIn measures the year-over-year growth of skills based on two pillars: skill acquisition and hiring success. Skill acquisition measures the growth of a given skill being added to member profiles. Hiring success measures the growth of a given skill possessed by members who have been hired in the past year."

LinkedIn Skills on the Rise 2026: The fastest-growing skills in the U.S.

If I had to describe myself in one word, I would choose "Entrepreneurial".  I get things done, (often) with limited resources without complaining and can rally a team of people to  see my vision and stand by me in tough times. I have done this as the founder of QuizWorks  - a mobile first digital learning technology company in Bangalore, and again at TRIEC, a non profit in Toronto. I am currently with the University of Toronto where I lead an incredible team of External Relations Officers who help our co-op students find meaningful roles in Canada and the USA.

Business strategy, strategic partnerships, cross cultural communication, business development are some of my strengths. In my current work, the team I lead engages with companies from diverse sectors such as financial services, technology and manufacturing among others and help them with their Campus/University relations objectives including hiring students, understanding EDI best practices, and better their talent pipeline. 

My raison-d'etre  is "helping others succeed" and I bring my 15+ years of entrepreneurship, leadership and team management skills that my stakeholders succeed in achieving their goals.  

I am tech savvy and can quickly learn new tech  and attain expertise in them. I have hands on experience with communications, CRM, productivity and engagement tools such as Zoom, Eventbrite, MailChimp, Survey Monkey, Kahoot, G Suite, MS Office, Salesforce and Hubspot.

I have a Masters degree in Business Management and have worked with companies such as RBC, CIBC, Telus, Deloitte, Sun Life Insurance, IBM, Microsoft, etc as employer partners.  I have won the  “Technology Rocketship” award from UK Trade and Investment at QuizWorks and have mentored 20+ professional newcomers through my work with non profits such as ACCES employment.

Feel free to reach out to me to discuss about how I or my organization can help you with your current priorities.

Thank you for spending this time on my profile. Have a good one!
