Are Companies Really Hiring?
Seriously. Are they? I've gotten so many questions from listeners and coaching students alike - I think it's time to solve this mystery.
You see the 'Help Wanted' signs in the window or the job postings online - so you know companies are looking for employees. But why is it when you apply, you hear nothing back? Even if you follow up, you're given no information that can actually help you progress to the interview process. In today's episode, we're going to talk about why this experience seems so common lately, and what you can do about it.

When you follow up, you're helping yourself no matter what. If this helps you along, you're closer to your interview. If they display signs that they're hesitant or not interested, you know you can look elsewhere for work.
