Gone are the days of constantly job hopping in order to rapidly boost your salary! Remember when perusing new job listings during your lunch break while WFH led to a 10-30% pay bump?! Now, with the uncertainty we’re experiencing in the overall market, it’s not just the new hires who are a bit nervous about hanging onto their jobs. Even government workers who thought they had fairly secure positions might be on the chopping block. Long-time employees are experiencing job insecurity! Which is why we’re glad to speak with career coach Marlo Lyons, because not only does she have over 20 years of experience in the hiring and firing field, but she has personal experience and a unique perspective having been fired herself. Marlo is the author of “Wanted: A New Career” where she goes in-depth on pivoting to a new career, she has a new book out about landing that first job, and she’s host of the Work Unscripted podcast. Listen as we discuss the shifting job market, focusing on “can do” jobs vs “want to do” jobs, three steps that everyone looking for a job needs to take, and plenty more during this episode!
