Building a career, not just collecting paychecks
What to do in your first 90 days, how to get promoted without burning out, and when it’s time to move on.

The loneliness nobody warns you about
Post-grad loneliness is real, it’s common, and no one talks about it. Here’s how to build a social life from scratch when the built-in structure of college is gone.

Meet the women

The advice in this ebook comes from 12 incredible women who’ve been exactly where you are...confused, overwhelmed, trying to figure out how to adult. They’ve made it to the other side and they’re sharing everything.

They’ve collectively worked at companies like EY, Campbell’s, Aramark, Pfizer, JM Smucker, Toshiba, Sysco, and McIlhenny Company. They’ve built careers on Wall Street, launched their own businesses, navigated recessions, negotiated promotions, and survived the “what am I doing with my life?” spiral.

Now they’re telling you what they wish someone had told them.

This is for you if...

- You’re graduating soon and the “real world” feels terrifying
- You just started your first job and feel like everyone else got a manual you didn’t
- You’re tired of vague advice like “just network” and “find your passion” and want someone to tell you what to actually DO
- You’ve cried in your car after work at least once (welcome to the club)
- You want to hear from women who’ve been in the trenches, not influencers selling a fantasy

Your college degree taught you a lot. But it didn’t teach you this.

This ebook is 20 pages of the career, money, and life advice that no one gave us after graduation, straight from 12 women who figured it out the hard way so you don’t have to.

One of my subscribers sent me this email a few weeks before her paralegal internship was set to start.

“I’m afraid of rejection, to be honest. I have all the tools to be successful in the job but getting the job is the part I struggle with.”

She is not a rare case. I get emails like this all the time.

Some sort of fear of failure that creeps up when you’re alone.

Sometimes it’s about applying for jobs that feel like a stretch or speaking up in meetings. But it could be about anything, because life is chock-full of opportunities to fail.

We hear that voice in our heads: You’re not good enough. You’re not qualified enough. Look at her; she is waaayy better than you. What are you even doing here?

That voice can get reeeeal expensive real fast.

53% of recent graduates chose not to apply to entry-level jobs in their field because they felt underqualified, up from 48% in 2025.

More than half of you are rejecting yourselves before anyone else even gets a chance!

So this week I want to talk about our fear of rejection.

I had it too. I absolutely bombed my first interview.

But the thing that changed everything for me wasn’t learning to be less afraid of rejection.

It was learning to want it.

Why “brush it off” is the worst advice

Every piece of job search advice you’ve gotten treats rejection like something to survive.

Be resilient. Don’t take it personally. It’s their loss. Put it behind you and keep going.

That advice isn’t wrong. But it makes you feel like you should feel something you’re not ready to feel yet.

And there’s a deeper problem: When your goal is to minimize rejection, every application becomes a test you’re afraid to fail.

So you don’t send it.

You wait until you’re more ready. You wait until the posting feels like a fit instead of a stretch. You wait for someone to tell you that you’re allowed to apply.

The waiting feels safe. But let me tell you, it’s the LEAST safe thing you can do!!

📣 A rejection costs you nothing. A self-rejection costs you the entire opportunity.

Protecting yourself from a feeling means you pay with the only currency that matters early in a career: attempts.

Let me show you what that same fear looks like on the other side of the table.

The thing the hiring manager is actually thinking

I’ve been the person on the other side of the table for 12 years. Want to know what’s actually in my head when you walk in?

I want you to be the one.

Not because you’re the most impressive person I’ll meet this month. Because I am exhausted. I still have four other candidates to see. I have my actual job piling up while we run this search.

Nobody on the other side of the table is looking for a reason to reject you. They’re looking for permission to move on with their week.

They want this to be over, and you showing up prepared is the fastest way that happens. So make it easy for them to say yes.

• Bring a specific story instead of an adjective.

• Ask a real question about the work.

• Answer the question they actually asked.

• Give them the sentence they can use in the debrief.

Once you stop assuming the person on the other side wants to reject you, the fear dissipates. You’re walking into a room full of tired people who would love for you to be the answer.

The woman who wanted 1,000 nos

When the young woman told me she was afraid of rejection, I sent her a link.

A woman named Gabbie spent months trying to hit a thousand rejections, and she documented every one.

The whole exercise was to prove something to herself about how a no actually feels.

When you collect rejections on purpose, the no stops being a referendum on your worth and becomes a data point.

Music legend Rick Rubin put a line in his book The Creative Act that rearranged how I thought about rejection:

“Failure is the information you need to get where you’re going.”

So instead of asking why did I fail, ask what did this tell me.

The panel that went badly because you rambled? That’s information. The posting that ghosted you for three rounds and then reposted the role? Also information. The interview where you realized you did not want the job at all? That’s the best rejection you’ll ever get.

🚩 Failing on the way to something is fine. Failing because you were too scared to try is the one kind that costs you.

And once you see rejection as a signal instead of a verdict, you stop hoping it won’t come.

You start looking for it.

Your rejection practice: 5 moves to run toward it

Big mindset shifts are fragile. You read the newsletter, you feel great, you wake up Monday and the old voice is back. If the only thing you have is “reframe it,” you’ll lose that fight.

So here’s a specific way to build this:

1. Sign the 30-day rejection contract with yourself

Write down a number. Something like: 30 applications in 30 days. Or 20 conversations. Or 10 asks you’d normally skip.

The success metric is the number of attempts, not the number of yeses.

Every application either gets you a yes or gets you a point. You cannot lose. You can’t control the yes, so you measure what you do control: how often you put yourself in the game.

A rejection isn’t a failure. It’s progress toward the number on your wall.

2. Make a rejection file

Create a folder called Rejections. Every no goes in it. Screenshot the email. Note the date, the company, the stage you got to.

Then add a second column: what did this tell me?

Was it a role that wasn’t actually entry level? Did you freeze on behavioral questions? Did you get to the final round and lose on the salary question?

Your rejection file becomes the only job search guide written specifically for you. Six weeks of it will teach you more than any course, because it’s not advice. It’s your own pattern.

And open the file when you feel like giving up. It’s hard to feel like you’re failing when you can see the trail of information you’ve been collecting.

3. Give yourself the words before you need them

My subscriber said she was nervous about “saying the right words.” So let’s give her a script. Because when you’re scared, improvising is the worst plan you can have.

Have three sentences ready:

➟ For when you freeze mid-interview: “That’s a good question. Let me think for a second.”

➟ For when you don’t know the answer: “I haven’t run into that one yet. Here’s how I’d approach it.”

➟ For the moment you’re unsure what your boss is asking of you: “What’s the one thing this needs to accomplish?”

Say them out loud until they’re boring.

4. Ask for the rejection

This is the one that sounds strange and works fastest.

Deliberately go ask for something you expect to be refused. Request a 20-minute call with someone three years ahead of you. Email a hiring manager at a company that has no posting up and ask what they’d want to see from someone entering the field. Ask a professor for an introduction you don’t think you’ve earned.

Or go less risky if you need to start small: ask for a discount on your next cup of coffee.

Then let that no sink in.

Here’s what you’ll learn: the no is boring. It costs you almost nothing, and most of the time you won’t even get it, because people say yes far more often than the voice in your head predicts.

Even the no is useful. It tends to arrive with something you never get any other way: a reason. Use it.

5. Take five minutes after every no to write down one thing

After every single no, take 5 minutes to write down one thing you did well and one thing you’d do differently.

Do that for a month, and you start to see you’re in charge of your future.

That’s what self-trust actually is. It’s not a pep talk. It’s the receipt pile you build by taking small actions and watching yourself keep your own word.

You’ll hear a lot of no. And that’s OK.

The people who get hired (or promoted, or make the team) are the ones who get more no’s than everyone else, and got a little better every time.

So go discover what your no’s can teach you.

Most of all, trust yourself.

😶 “I don’t know anyone in my industry.”

😬 “Networking events feel fake and awkward...I never know what to say.”

📭 “I’ve sent out hundreds of applications and heard nothing back.”

🤷‍♀️ “I don’t want to bother people by reaching out out of the blue.”

This easy-to-use rubric makes networking feel human again.

I had no internship, no connections, and no idea what I was doing and I still landed my dream job at a NYC publishing house and became managing editor within a year.

The secret wasn’t luck. It was knowing that my network was already there, I just hadn’t mapped it yet. This rubric is the exact tool I wish I’d had.

Here’s what’s inside:

1 Your Full Network Map

63+ categories of people you already know. Your network is bigger than you think.

2 Warmth Rating System

Rank each connection by relationship strength so you know exactly who to reach out to first without guesswork or awkwardness.

3 action column

A simple next-step prompt for every contact. Coffee chat? LinkedIn message? Ask for an intro? You’ll always know the right move.

4 Industry Alignment

Match your contacts to industries and roles so you can spot opportunities hiding in plain sight.

5 Follow-Up Tracker

Never let a warm lead go cold. Track your outreach and follow-ups in one place so opportunities don’t slip through the cracks.

"Tell me about yourself," and you hear yourself narrating your resume back at someone who already has it in front of them. You can feel yourself losing the room in real time and you don't know how to stop it.

"Why should we hire you," and something in you flinches. Bragging feels wrong. So you soften it. You hedge. You hand them every reason to pick someone else.

Then salary comes up, and you say a number first, because the silence felt unbearable. You watch your leverage leave the room before you've even finished the sentence.

You walk out replaying every word. You wait for a call that doesn't come. And you start to believe this is just who you are in interviews. Bad under pressure. Not good at selling yourself.

But it's not who you are. Nobody ever told you what the person across the table is actually listening for.

I sat on the hiring side of the table for over a decade. I read the resumes, ran the interviews, and made the calls on who got the offer and who got the generic rejection email.

I know the exact moment a candidate loses a hiring manager. And I know what it sounds like when they don’t.

This kit is that knowledge, turned into something you can actually use before your next interview.

Inside This Mini Kit, You’ll Get:

💜 20 real interview questions and, most importantly, WHY hiring managers ask them. This helps you understand what they are really listening for

💜 20 frameworks... a simple 3-part structure that acts as a container so you can fill in your story WITHOUT memorizing a script

💜 A word-for-word sample answer using the framework so you can hear exactly what it sounds like

💜 A simple template so you can fill in the blanks with your specific story.

✨ AI grader access. Paste in your draft answer. Get feedback based on the same frameworks, before you’re sitting across from a stranger finding out in real time.

Interviews have a special talent for making smart women forget their own lives.
Suddenly you’re staring at a question like “Tell me about yourself” and thinking:

• “I’ve done things… I just can’t explain them.”

• “Everyone else sounds more confident than me.”

• “What if I don’t actually have enough experience?”

• “Why does my brain go completely blank?”

This isn’t because you’re unqualified.
It’s because no one ever taught you how to connect your experiences into a story that makes sense to someone else.

That’s what this free Post-Grad Life Resume Template is for.

Instead of guessing what hiring managers want to hear, you’ll learn how to pull real examples from your life, including school, internships, jobs, leadership roles, and hard seasons, and turn them into answers that sound grounded, clear, and human.

Whether you’re preparing for interviews, writing a cover letter, or spiraling about your future, this tool helps you remember what you already bring to the table.

What this helps you do:

• Stop feeling like you “don’t have enough experience”

• Remember real moments you can talk about with confidence

• Put words to your strengths without sounding rehearsed

• Walk into interviews knowing what you’re going to say

• Rebuild trust in yourself when imposter syndrome shows up uninvited

You’ve done more than you think.
You just haven’t been shown how to talk about it yet.

Here’s What’s Inside:

• Your Milestone Moments
  Pull out real wins, challenges, and turning points you usually overlook

• The Impact You Leave
  Identify how you make people feel and why that matters at work

• Skills You Don’t Realize Count
  Leadership, communication, judgment, care, problem-solving

• Boundaries and Breakthroughs
  What you’ve learned, not just what you’ve achieved

• Your Future Compass
  Use your past to make your next decision with more confidence

This isn’t a worksheet you fill out once and forget.

It’s something you come back to every time you need to advocate for yourself.

I was living in New York City. I had gotten a full-time job following my internship at a magazine publisher.

As a fact-checker, I literally had to make sure that everything other people wrote was true. Grueling, but it was the perfect foot in the door and fueled my dream career.

But I was making peanuts! $30,000 in New York City. That is crazy to think about now.

Then I got my first raise.

In my head I was thinking OK, this is it. I stuck out the $30k and now I will be rewarded!!!!

Then my boss told me my salary had increased to....$33,000.

Wah wah

Don’t get me wrong, I was grateful for any increase, but it just seemed like so little...$3,000 over 12 months living in such an expensive city was hard for me to wrap my head around.

It was less than $100 a paycheck after taxes.

But from the company’s perspective, it was a whopping 10% raise. Which is actually difficult to get. Most raises are in the 3-5% range.

And I cringe now because my boss was soooo excited to tell me the good news, but I was so disappointed, it must’ve shown on my face.

Subscribe now

I wish I could go back and thank her, but also tell myself it gets better.

The reason I am sharing this now is so you, as an early career professional, know what to expect.

Here’s exactly what you need to know when it comes to your first raise

How to respond

First things first, pause before you react. Your face does more talking than your mouth in the first 10 seconds.

You may or may not be caught off guard when you receive news of a raise. But having this phrase in your back pocket can help slow things down:

“Thank you. I want to give this the attention it deserves, so can I come back to you tomorrow with any questions?”

That line buys you 24 hours. It shows gratitude and stops you from either gushing over an amount you’re happy about or visibly deflating in front of the person who fought for it.

Then do the math that night. Annual number, monthly take-home, what actually changes in your life.

A 10% raise on $30k is $3,000 a year. After taxes in New York, that’s roughly $80 to $90 a paycheck. It’s a real raise, but it won’t make a huge dent in your budget.

🚩 What not to do: “That’s it?” in the meeting. It’s not a career ender, but it definitely makes the next conversation harder than it needs to be.

How to know if the amount is normal or an insult

Standard merit raises land in the 3 to 5% range. Promotions move more, usually 8 to 15%. A first raise at 10% is a strong one, which is exactly why my boss was thrilled.

But those percentages don’t equate to much when your salary is fairly small to begin with.

So run the number against these reference points instead of against your feelings:

➟ Under 3% with no explanation: ask what the range was and what would move you into the top of it.

➟ 3 to 5%: normal. This is the system working as designed, not a message about your worth.

➟ 8% and up: someone is advocating for you. Say thank you, and ask what earned it.

PS: If you haven’t received a raise at all, that also requires a conversation.

When to push back

First, you have to understand if you have a real case. Most first raises are not the moment to negotiate.

But you can push back if any of these are true: your responsibilities grew after your offer letter, you’re doing work above your title, you found out a peer with the same role makes significantly more, or you got a strong performance review and a raise that doesn’t match it.

Now it’s time to prep for the conversation:

📣 Need → Strength → Impact

“I’ve taken on [what you took on]. I’ve gotten strong feedback on [the result]. Given that, I’d like to talk about getting to [$X].”

Use a real number, not “more.” And ask for the conversation on a date, not someday. “Can we put 20 minutes on the calendar this week?”

🚩 Do not bring up your rent, your student loans, or your cost of living. Your bills aren’t the company’s problem. Your contributions are the only thing they care about.

How to think about your future

The people who end up underpaid in year five are rarely the ones who got a small raise in year one. They’re the ones who learned early that asking was pointless and stopped asking.

So here’s how to secure your next raise:

➟ Track what you own. Every new responsibility, every win, every piece of feedback. This becomes your casefile.

➟ Learn the schedule. Ask when reviews happen and what the raise cycle looks like.

➟ Do the two-year check. If your salary and your title look identical to two years ago, while your job looks bigger, you have your answer. Changing jobs is how most early career people get their largest jump.

Unfortunately, progress is usually slower than you expect. But your long term trajectory matters more than any single bump.

Understanding how compensation actually works protects your confidence and your expectations.

Have any questions about your salary trajectory? Let’s figure them out together. Just respond to this email.

Most of all, trust yourself.

She created content for her school’s athletic department, managed her business school’s social accounts, completed multiple social media and marketing internships, and worked in restaurants and summer camps.

Still, none of it has turned into an offer.

Here is what she told CNBC:

“Entry-level to these companies is somebody who’s coming from three years of experience in the workforce. It’s hard when they want all this experience, but no job is willing to give you that first experience to have on your resume.”

She is not being dramatic. And the numbers say she is far from alone.

The bar moved

According to Cengage’s 2026 Graduate Employability Report:

• 77% of grads say employers want too much experience for entry-level roles.

• 75% say there are too few genuinely entry-level opportunities left.

• 53% of grads say they chose not to apply to jobs because they felt underqualified.

That is up from 48% in 2025, and it has been climbing since 2023.

Separately, Handshake data show employers posted nearly twice as many full-time jobs for the Class of 2022 as they did for the Class of 2026.

So no, it is not in your head.

You are competing for fewer openings, often against people with more experience.

But a self-rejection guarantees you never get considered.

Why the bar moved

The Wall Street Journal recently wrote about what gets lost when busy work disappears. Restructuring and AI are making entry-level work more efficient, but they are also removing some of the repetitive, low-stakes tasks where junior employees used to get practice.

Formatting the deck. Pulling the data. Drafting the first pass of an email.

We called it grunt work because it felt like grunt work.

But it was also a curriculum.

You learned the company by doing the small stuff. You got better because someone let you do the small stuff badly first.

Michael Hansen, CEO of Cengage Group, said employers “don’t have the patience anymore to train somebody in the basic skills that they might have had 10 years ago or even five years ago,” to CNBC.

Knowing the system is broken does not pay your rent. You still need a job in it.

What the silence does

Inc. recently wrote about the way a prolonged job search can crush confidence.

Career counselor Amanda Langer described what a prolonged search does: “It erodes a person’s confidence over time and their sense of agency, along with their financial security.”

It’s not only that you feel bad. It’s that you stop believing your actions can change the outcome.

Silence can be especially corrosive because it gives you no feedback and no clear way to improve.

The Evidence Stack

You cannot fix the market.

What you can do is stop competing only on credentials...where you may be disadvantaged against someone with three years of directly relevant experience...and start competing on evidence.

The Evidence Stack has three layers:

Layer 1: Skills, translated

Managing your business school’s social accounts is project management.

Running content for an athletic department is stakeholder management.

Coordinating a summer-camp schedule is logistics and conflict resolution under pressure.

None of that belongs only in a resume line that says “Social Media Intern.”

So here’s how to write it instead:

Led content operations for a business school’s social channels, owning the editorial calendar, approvals, and performance tracking across 3 platforms.

Managed stakeholder relationships for an athletic department’s content program, coordinating with coaches, athletes, and communications staff to publish on deadline.

Built and ran the scheduling system for a summer camp serving 200+ kids, resolving daily conflicts between staff, parents, and activity blocks.

Each line still names the skill. Each one also shows the moment it was used.

PS: This is exactly why I built the Life Resume Template. It takes the experiences you’re currently discounting and turns them into interview stories.

Layer 2: Proof, built solo

Pick one specific problem a company you want to work for has. Not “their social is bad.” Something you can point to: their Instagram Reels get a fraction of the views their TikToks do. Their careers page hasn’t been updated since 2023. Their launch emails never mention pricing.

Solve one small piece of it. Small enough that you can finish it in a weekend.

If you want to work in social media, take their weakest content format and rebuild it. Show three versions with your reasoning for each.

If you want to work in marketing, write a campaign brief for a launch they already announced or already ran. Real product, real audience, real timeline.

📣 Two rules: build it from what the company already published publicly, and never hand over more than they’d see in a portfolio sample.

Then send it to exactly one person: the hiring manager, the social lead, the recruiter who posted the job.

Include four sentences and one question: What problem you noticed, what you made, one line on your reasoning, and a link. Then ask something only they could answer, like “Is Reels a format you’re planning to invest in this year?”

This gives them a real reason to respond.

Layer 3: Cadence, not hope

Since silence can erode your confidence, treat the search like a job you are running, not a lottery you are waiting on.

Track it.

Know your numbers:

• How many strategic applications did you send?

• How many outreach notes did you write?

• How many conversations did you start?

• What did you build?

And give yourself a weekly scorecard that measures effort, not outcomes.

Your assignment this week:

➟ Pick three experiences you have been discounting and name the skill each one proves.

➟ Choose one company, find one real problem, and build one small piece of a solution.

➟ Set your effort scorecard for this week and judge yourself against that, not against the silence.

Most of all, trust yourself.

3. Mock Interview to Build Confidence

If you want feedback on your actual answers and communication skills, book a mock interview session. We’ll run through real questions, and I’ll tell you what’s working and what’s costing you the offer.

Book a session (LIMITED SPOTS!)

Now AI can recall facts faster than any human. Every early-career candidate has access to the same tutorials and certifications. Same free courses, same YouTube tutorials, same certificate on the same LinkedIn profile.

Knowledge is table stakes.

📣 What separates candidates now is different: Communication. Coachability. Adaptability. Curiosity.

Every one of those is something a machine can’t do for you in a live room.

By the end of this, you’ll know what interviewers are actually scoring while you’re busy answering the question, and why the smartest person in the room keeps losing the offer.

You’ll also know how to highlight each of these four things instead of hoping they kinda sorta shine through.

You’ve been prepping for the wrong test

I know that’s annoying to hear, because the prep is the part you can control. More frameworks. More STAR stories. More company research at 11pm.

But the interview stopped being a knowledge test. It became a character test.

Anyone can look up the framework. So the question the interviewer is actually asking has changed. It’s no longer “does this person know the thing.”

It’s:

Can this person learn and implement new things?

Every question about a past project, a conflict, a failure, a win is really asking, “Can this person learn?” underneath.

Most people hear “character test” and think it means being nice, or being humble, or being a good culture fit in some vague, personality-based way. It doesn’t.

It means proving you’re the kind of person who can take feedback without it becoming a thing. And the type of person who doesn’t just bring problems, but brings solutions. And the type of person who isn’t scared to try the new thing.

That’s a learnable skill. It’s also the fastest way to stand out when everyone around you has the same credentials.

Your resume gets you the room. Four signals get you the offer. Let’s go through them.

The four signals, and how to show each one

Grace McCarrick (@graceforpersonalityhires) has a video with 2 million views sharing the unfortunate truth: baseline interpersonal skills aren’t being taught.

Phone calls used to be the default, so every kid got reps. They answered the landline, called a friend’s house and had to talk to their parents first, and talked to a stranger because there was no other option. Then texting and DMs replaced the phone, and those reps disappeared.

This disappearing skill is teachable, though, and you’re already smart enough to learn it. You just have to practice it...on purpose...instead of hoping it happens.

These four signals, done well, will do more for your career (and personal growth) than another round of flashcards.

📞 1. Communication: close the loop, don’t just answer

Most candidates answer the question and stop. Then there’s a small silence and the interviewer moves on.

Close the loop instead. Answer, then add one line that connects your answer back to what they asked.

If they ask how you handle competing deadlines, don’t just tell the story. End it with the point. “So that’s why I now ask about priorities in the first week instead of waiting for something to slip.”

It tells them you know WHY they asked the question. And that is frickin’ dynamite during an interview.

🧍‍♀️ 2. Coachability: invite the correction

We often forget that we, as candidates, can ask questions during interviews. So nobody really does it. But it can make a HUGE difference.

After a longer answer, ask something that makes feedback easy to give. “Was that the level of detail you wanted, or should I go deeper on the technical part?”

It shows you can be steered.

It gives the interviewer permission to engage instead of just taking notes.

And when you are providing answers to the interviewer’s questions, remember:

The biggest interview cheat code is understanding that hiring managers listen to how you talk about difficult situations: Do you get defensive, or do you reflect? Do you blame, or do you take ownership?

“What I’d do differently next time is...”

“I realized I could have handled that differently.”

“I made a mistake there, and here’s what I learned from it.”

Notice none of those are confessions. They’re proof of learning.

🌿 3. Adaptability: name the pivot

Have one story ready where the plan changed and you changed with it.

Not a story where everything went well. A story where something broke, you noticed, and you adjusted.

“We had a plan. It wasn’t working by week two, so I changed the approach and here’s what happened.”

Managers are hiring for the unscripted parts of the job: the moments when the brief is wrong. The client changes their mind. The tool breaks and everyone looks around the room.

You can’t script your way through those. You have to think on your feet.

That’s what I’m listening for in an interview. Not the polished answer you rehearsed. The moment you go off script and show me how your brain actually works.

So when they ask about a hard project, don’t give them the clean version. Tell them where it went sideways. Tell them what you did when it did.

A script gets you through the easy questions. Knowing how you think gets you the offer.

PS: If you want to practice the answers that hold up when they push past the script, schedule a mock interview.

🙋‍♀️ 4. Curiosity: ask about the problem, not the perks

You’ve heard “always ask questions at the end.” Here’s the part that’s usually missing:

Ask about what the team is stuck on, not what the job offers you.

Something like “What’s the hardest part of this role right now?” or “What would make my first 90 days a success?”

Those questions tell the interviewer you’re already thinking about the work instead of the title. And they usually get you a real answer, which gives you something to respond to.

Practice out loud, on camera

None of this works if the first time you say it out loud is in the interview.

Fifteen minutes. Answer five common opener questions, record the weakest one, and watch yourself back.

You will hear filler you didn’t know you had. You’ll catch the moment your voice goes up at the end of a sentence. You’ll see the face you make when you’re thinking.

My Interview Warm-Up Guide walks you through this process.

This is the part people skip, and it’s the part that changes everything. You can’t fix what you can’t see.

📣 Skills get you in the room. But self-awareness gets you the offer.

PS: If you want the 20 questions that trip people up most and a framework for answering each one, that’s what my Interview Q&A Framework Guide is for.

It comes with access to my AI answer grader, so you can practice out loud and get feedback before you’re in the room. It’s worth so much more (Theresa called it the “best guide ever”), but I know you are literally looking for a job and don’t have a ton of mola right now, so it’s only $27 and you can get it here.

Most of those applications went into a void. I hit submit, waited, heard nothing, and did it again the next morning. For months.

It was awful.

Skip ahead...here’s what I’ve learned after 12 years on the hiring side, and the advice I shared with two recent grads when I watched them do everything right and still stall out.

The application portal is not a strategy

Ella did everything on paper. Graduated with honors. Journalism and PR degree. Three strong internships.

She was applying to PR and communications roles in New York and hearing nothing back. Zero interviews booked.

Erin hit the same wall. Recent grad, product and UX roles, relevant academic experience.

She was “reaching out to company after company and getting nothing back, not even a no.”

Neither of them had a resume problem. They had a distribution problem.

The move: go around the front door

Unfortunately, in this job market, applying on job boards isn’t enough to have your resume magically picked from the pile.

You’ve got to do more, whether that sounds fair or not.

Here’s what I advised Ella and Erin to do if they wanted to stand out:

Pick your top 3 to 5 companies. Build a one-sheet about how you specifically would solve their challenges. Then send it to a human being, outside the application process.

Erin’s version was an offer to help with a design project... for free. I get it, free is hard to swallow. But getting real brand names and real projects into your portfolio can be the difference when hiring managers are looking for real experience.

(Btw, internships were mostly done for free when I graduated. Not saying it’s right, just saying I definitely did the work for free. In NYC. Where it isn’t exactly cheap.)

These projects can also help you build a relationship with that company, ultimately helping you skip the interview round altogether!

Ella’s version was a one-pager of her writing that spoke directly to each company’s challenges and audiences. So not exactly free work, but certainly providing a vision no one actually requested.

Keep in mind, the one-sheet is not a cover letter. It’s a short document that says: here’s what I noticed about what you’re working on, here’s what I’d do about it, here’s how I’ve done something like this before.

Why this works: Every other candidate is answering “do you have experience?” You’re answering “do you understand our problem?” 🤯

I know it feels transactional, but hear me out

When we talk about networking, one of the real fears that always comes up is:

“It feels like my whole future depends on whether people like me.”

I get why. Reaching out to a stranger to ask for something feels like a transaction, and you can feel the imbalance from a mile away. You’re the one with the ask. They’re the one with the power.

But here’s the thing about the one-sheet: it flips who’s giving.

You’re not asking for a favor. You’re showing up with something. You noticed a problem in their work and you thought about it hard enough to write a page.

Bob Burg and John David Mann put it better than I can in The Go-Giver: “Your true worth is determined by how much more you give in value than you take in payment.”

Give more than you take. Do it well enough and often enough, and the receiving side takes care of itself.

Follow up more than feels polite

Ella told me she hesitated to follow up because she didn’t want to seem annoying.

I hear this constantly, so I want to be clear: the amount of follow-up that feels appropriate to you is less than the amount that actually works.

Follow up multiple times. Space it out. And every single time, share something of value.

Nobody thinks the friend who texts again is desperate. They think the friend who never texts back is the weird one. Your follow-up is the second text.

Not “just checking in” though. Send your portfolio. Send an insight about their brand. Send a relevant article with one line about why it matters to them. Give them a reason to open your emails.

Two more things that made the difference

Build a place to send them. Erin didn’t have a personal website when we talked. If you’re reaching out cold, your website is what makes you real. A clean portfolio page that’s current, with live links, does more than a PDF attached to an application. Ella had one but hadn’t kept it updated.

Fix that before you start sending.

Show future capability, not just history. Everyone in the early-career stack has roughly your experience on paper. Let that one-sheeter showcase how you think about their challenges, their audience and their goals.

Your assignment this week

1. Write down your top 3 to 5 companies. Real ones, in your reach.

2. Research each one. Use AI to dig into their challenges, recent news, what they’re launching, what they’re struggling with.

3. Write one page per company on how you’d help. Keep it tight and specific.

4. Find a relevant human at each. Send it with a note that leads with genuine interest, not a pitch.

5. Follow up in a week. And then again. Each time, bring something useful.

Skills get you in the room. But the relationship gets you the offer.

Most of all, trust yourself.

Book a session (LIMITED SPOTS!)

He’s a Computer Information Systems major, graduating this December. He spent his summer interning at a massive company and did everything right. Then the budget shifted.

And the return offer he had been expecting vanished.

Now, he’s staring at a December graduation date and a job market that feels like a brick wall.

He wanted to know one thing: How do I get my resume in front of an actual human before the ATS eats it?

I’ve sat on the recruiter’s side of that black box for over a decade. I’ve seen thousands of resumes that all look identical.

If you want a human to notice you in 2026, stop acting like a student. Start acting like a professional (who happens to be graduating).

Here is the “Rescue Plan” I gave him.

1. First, move your education down

Most 20-somethings lead with their degree because they think that’s their biggest asset.

It’s not. It’s a prerequisite.

If you’ve done an internship, a freelance gig, or a project where you wrote code or managed a budget (or did any action related to the role you are applying to), that goes first.

Recruiters spend 6 seconds on a resume. Don’t make them scroll past your GPA to find out if you actually know how to work.

2. This is basic → swap adjectives for outcomes

Nobody hires you because you’re “detail-oriented” or a “team player.” Those are adjectives, not skills.

To get past the filter Sharar is worried about, you need proof.

Bad: “Responsible for social media.”

Better: “Grew Instagram engagement 40% in one quarter by testing three new content formats.”

One tells a recruiter what you did. The other tells them what happened because you did it. Lead with the win.

3. This is where you get their mouths watering → turn your “Strengths” into a pitch

A list of skills is a grocery list. A pitch is a solution.

Instead of a bulleted list of software, use your summary to say exactly what problem you solve.

Here are a few examples:

“I help SaaS companies bridge the gap between technical data and customer-facing marketing.”

“I turn the mission you feel deeply into the language that gets donors to give.”

“I studied healthcare and I’ve done patient-facing work. I’m looking for a role where I can bridge what clinicians say and what patients actually hear.”

The reusable frame underneath all of these is:

I turn [what’s technical/internal/hard] into [what the audience can feel/act on].

4. Get recruiters excited → build in public

Showing that you can learn, adapt, and document new tools is a higher-value signal than any credential on your transcript.

If you are experimenting with new technology or AI to solve a problem, don’t just put the tool in your “Skills” section.

Document the process on LinkedIn. Showing how you think is how you get hired for your potential.

You could post something like this:

Last month I had a data problem I’d been doing by hand for years.

Every Monday I’d pull a report, clean it in spreadsheets, and stare at it for an hour trying to find the patterns.

It ate half my morning. So I started experimenting with AI to automate it...

5. Make them stop scrolling → treat your LinkedIn like a billboard.

Most people leave the default “Student at University” headline until they have a diploma in hand (or longer). That’s wasted real estate.

Use that space to tell recruiters what you want to do and the specific impact you’re ready to make.

For example:

1. Data analyst / BI: “Aspiring Data Analyst | SQL, Python, Excel | Former research assistant turning messy datasets into clear answers”

2. Marketing: “Marketing grad hungry for a content or growth role | Wrote 40+ pieces across 3 student-driven brands | Obsessed with what makes people click”

3. Engineering / software: “Computer Science grad ready to ship | Built 4 side projects and 2 internships’ worth of real code | Looking for my first full-time SWE role”

4. Finance / consulting: “Recent grad targeting roles in finance and strategy | Spent 2 summers modeling and presenting to real clients | Bilingual, CFA Level 1 candidate”

5. Sales / account management: “Graduating senior ready for a quota | 18 months cold-calling for campus programs and hitting every number | Seeking an SDR role in tech”

A few patterns these all share, so you can write your own:

• Name the role or field up front. Recruiters search by title. “Aspiring Data Analyst” beats “Hard worker and lifelong learner.”

• Back the claim with a number or a concrete fact. One real project, one measurable result reads as evidence instead of adjectives.

• End on the ask. It signals a clear target and gives “ready” a destination.

None of this fixes the immediate anxiety of graduating without a signed contract.

But these shifts give you something to do with that anxiety besides refreshing your inbox. They turn you from a passive applicant into a candidate who is impossible to ignore.

Once you fix the resume and get the call, the next hurdle is the interview. Most early-career pros lose the job in the first 10 minutes because they have no framework for their answers.

I put together a 20 Interview Frameworks Mini-Kit to help you land the next round. It’s the exact logic I look for when I’m sitting across the desk.

Here’s what that advice produces at work: a very tired person who keeps getting passed over.

I lived it. One day, my boss walked over to my desk at 7pm, found me still grinding away, and said, “What are you doing here? Go home.”

In my head, I thought I was doing exactly what I should be doing: more hours, more effort, more dedication. That’s how you win, right?

Wrong. Head-down effort wasn’t what moved me forward. What moved me forward was having ideas. Speaking up in meetings. Saying what I wanted out loud.

So when I went into my 6-month review, I stopped waiting for someone to hand me the next step. I said: “This is my dream. I want to be managing editor. I’m dedicated and I want this role.”

I said it out loud. And I jumped over people who had been there longer than me to get the job.

That’s the aha moment I want you to notice: You get promoted for making your value visible to the people who decide.

School rewards the grade, and the grade is private.

Work doesn’t have grades. It has perception. If your boss can’t see the impact, the impact might as well not exist. So working hard in silence isn’t dedication. It’s volunteering to be overlooked.

Does this mean you should become the loudest person in the room and make your boss’s life miserable? No.

But you need to be influential, not invisible.

Invisible is what happens when you agree with everything and wait to be noticed. Influential is what happens when you bring your own thinking, even when it’s different, and you let people see where your value lives.

People pleasers default to invisible. It feels safe. But it costs more than you think, because every time you swallow an idea to keep the peace, you trade a chance to be known for a chance to be comfortable.

Adding your own thinking is not the same as being disagreeable. When you contribute a genuine opinion in a brainstorm, you add to the pool of knowledge. Different mindsets, different views. That’s the whole point of having a team.

That’s what separates the people who move from the ones who stay stuck.

The 5 Habits to Flip, Starting Today

Most career advice tells you to add more. More hours, more hustle, more grind.

You don’t need to add. You need to flip these 5 habits and get out of the Good Student Trap for good.

1. Ship at 70%, not 100%.

Perfectionism is the most expensive habit. In school, a flawless paper earned you the A.

At work, you rewrite. You polish. You make sure it’s perfect before anyone sees it.

Meanwhile, someone else shipped a solid 70% version on Tuesday. They got feedback, made it better, and moved to the next thing. Your client is annoyed they haven’t seen anything yet.

The big idea: progress compounds, polish doesn’t. Ship a rough-but-clear first version and you get rounds of useful input.

If you hoard a perfect-but-private version, you get zero rounds and a reputation for being slow.

Ship at 70%. Good to go. You’ll fix the rest as you learn.

2. Stop waiting to be called on.

School trained you to raise your hand and wait for permission. The teacher chooses who speaks.

Work doesn’t work that way.

If you’re invited to a meeting, you’re at the table on purpose. That invitation is your mic.

Campbell’s marketing VP Jenna Hagerich taught me this: if you’re in the room, it’s your responsibility to use your voice.

Share a thought. Ask the question everyone else is thinking. Offer the idea before someone else does.

The big idea: presence doesn’t count unless it shows. A meeting is a potluck, not a lecture. You were invited. But you’re not participating if you show up with nothing to share.

3. Trade extra credit for visible impact.

This one hurts because it feels like virtue. You take on more work. You stay later. You say yes to everything, and you tell yourself it’s dedication.

But it’s the fastest way to get stuck.

The school version is the extra credit assignment. Do more than asked, get noticed, get a boost. The workplace version is different: do more than asked, get more work, and get the “she does so much” label pinned to your forehead.

That label doesn’t say to promote her. It says keep her where she is; she’s carrying the load.

The flip: do less, but make the less matter more. Pick one high-impact project and make it undeniable. Make sure the right people see it.

The big idea: impact gets rewarded, volume gets absorbed. The person doing visible, important work on fewer things will outpace the person doing invisible busywork on everything.

4. Bring your own approval.

In school, someone was always there to grade you. The teacher handed back the A. You learned to wait for that thumbs up, and to need it.

Your manager is not tracking you down to tell you you’re doing a great job. They’re busy. Most of the feedback you’ll ever get in your career, you’ll have to create yourself.

So stop waiting for approval to arrive. Go get it. Schedule the conversation. Ask your manager, “What’s one thing I could do that would make your job easier this month?”

Ask, “What would need to be true for me to be ready for the next level?”

The big idea: seeking feedback is a leadership move. Waiting for it is a passive one.

Someone who asks for one specific piece of feedback every month learns 10X faster than someone who waits for the annual review to find out they’ve been off track.

5. Disagree to become known.

Class projects taught you to be collaborative. Don’t be difficult. Get along. This is the most dangerous of the five, because it wears the costume of being nice.

You don’t have to be difficult. You just don’t have to agree with everything. Agreeing with everything is what makes you forgettable.

When a decision is being made and you have a different take, that take is the single most valuable thing you can offer. You won’t always be right, but that’s OK. A team where everyone nods is a team with one brain. That’s how bad calls get made.

So say it. Even when it’s different from everyone in the room. Especially then.

The big idea: dissent is how you get read as someone who thinks, and thinking is what leaders do. The person who finally speaks up in the brainstorm with a contrarian angle is the one the room remembers.

The habits that got you here won’t get you there. Flip them.

Most of all, trust yourself.
