Ask Marnie

One of the ~juiciest~ episodes that I’ve been sitting on for so long. If you’re going through a breakup, or still caught up on something, I hope this episode helps you find the silver lining. <3 I’m such a believer in the alchemizing power of a breakup, so naturally I wanted this in the early group of podcast episodes. We’ll be back with a more traditional “interview prep” episode next week. I’m sending you all the good vibes, you got this. <3 Show Notes The Interview Cheat Sheet: https://stan.store/marnielemonik/p/the-interview-cheat-sheet About Marnie: Marnie is a full-time Career Coach based in LA who focuses on helping you identify and articulate your unique value.

This episode is for anyone that has been in waiting, scheming, or preparing mode. I went to a conference with thousands of other women, and the one message from every single speaker was to act more and act faster. The win is taking that first step, not knowing where it is all leading. I hope you feel ~excited~ to make some moves after listening.

This part of the job search is the absolute WORST. You’re applying to jobs, doing all the “right things”, and still haven’t gotten that first interview. I promise it’s not hopeless and the tide DOES eventually turn, but in the meantime it’s a little painful. This episode is half pep talk and half to simply keep our sanity in this process.

To say this episode is overdue is an understatement . I’m often the first coach people have worked with, and since the space is continuing to booooom, let’s talk about my favorite ways to “suss” someone out. Naturally I’m pretty biased, but I try my best to stay as objective as possible here especially as someone who has worked with a coach as a client. Show Notes Question List Tell me about someone you’ve helped who was in my position (industry, level, current issue) and the steps you took to support / how long it took What is the most popular compliment you get from your clients?

I’m sick and tired of overly humble, incredibly accomplished women not giving themselves the full credit they deserve .<3 In this episode, I share my favorite frameworks for 1) getting clear on what makes you special and 2) how to articulate that value whether it be on the job search or simply in your day-to-day job.
