I have bittersweet news: I am (lovingly) closing down my podcast and business!
"Lovingly" - because I have LOVED working on this project, serving my career coaching clients, and meeting my listeners and followers over the last 3+ years! I am PROUD of this body of work and it will continue to exist on the internet to help more people in the future.
In this final episode, I explain the rationale behind this personal decision and how I made it. I talk about how my core values have changed, the key questions I asked myself when I made this decision, the "warning signs" that helped me understand that it was time for a change, and why I am ready to divest myself from grind & hustle culture.
Thank you for being a part of this journey! Xo, Priscilla

Are You Afraid to Ask for More Money?
You are not alone.
I chat with negotiation coach Joan Moon to explore why this fear is so widespread. We delve into how gender bias and societal expectations can make advocating for our financial worth feel uncomfortable. The conversation goes further, examining the intersection of gender and race. Women of color, in particular, face unique challenges in salary negotiations due to stereotypes and cultural barriers.
The episode highlights the need to update societal norms and acknowledges the challenges women face. But it's not all doom and gloom! We aim to empower you to confidently negotiate for your worth without the fear of being perceived negatively. So listen in and learn how to ask for what you deserve!

Before you start your job search, there's ONE major decision that you need to make. You must decide if you will be a CAREER-CHANGER or a TRADITIONAL JOB SEEKER during your job search.
This ONE decision will directly impact your job search roadmap and set of activities.
To make this decision, you must answer some other key questions like:
How much of a financial runway do you have to land your next job offer? How much time & energy do you have to devote to the job search? Do you LOVE networking with people? Are you willing to be a BEGINNER? Are you willing to take a paycut? How hard are you willing to work on your job search?On this episode, I walk you through how to make this decision for yourself so that you can go into your job search process with EYES WIDE OPEN about the obstacles ahead of you.

Let's face it - no one WANTS to work on their resume.
Not only is the resume a tedious exercise, but it's not the magic bullet that people want you to believe it is.
You just need to get your resume to "good enough" status....good enough to make it past the ATS (online application portal), good enough to make it past a recruiter, and ultimately, good enough to land you an interview.
In this episode, I'll guide you through a specific process to help you transform your resume in 3-5 hours.
Even better, I've got a free resource for you - the FREE RESUME BUNDLE that makes all of this even easier and faster. Stop spending unnecessary hours on your resume and start focusing on activities that truly make a difference in your job search.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and showing you what is holding you back in your job search when it comes to your resume. For example:
Are you using a Canva graphic resume template? Does your resume have an "Objective" statement? Is your resume packed with buzzwords that don't mean anything like, "proven track record" and "excellent communications & interpersonal skills"? Have you thought about outsourcing your resume to have someone else write it? Is your resume longer than one page? Does your resume have way too little information about you?If your answer was yes to any of these questions, then you're making at least one of the Top 10 Worst Resume Mistakes that disqualify you from jobs. Tune into learn more about each one and why it hurts you in your job search.

Is the resume really as important as we think?
That's a loaded question! While the resume is undeniably crucial for securing interviews, let's unpack its actual impact on getting hired.
On this episode, I teach you the role of the resume in the job search process and why it shouldn't be the only thing on your mind. I'll explain why a resume is only important in the first step of the process, which is generating interview invitations. The episode concludes by highlighting the importance of spending the right amount of time and energy on the resume and provides a preview of the next episodes in the series.

Ever had a recruiter slide into your DM's, asking you to hop on the phone with them to discuss a potential job opportunity?
It's normal to be skeptical of these messages but let me tell you...these DM messages lead to REAL job opportunities.
Ask me how I know! One of my 2023 job offers came directly from a LinkedIn message from a recruiter! I didn't even know about the job until the recruiter reached out to me. I don't want you to miss out on these "hidden market" job opportunities, so on this episode I cover everything you need to know when a recruiter reaches out to you:
On this episode, you'll learn:
How to handle these initial conversations with recruiters, so that you don't fall for any scams but also not miss out on any real job opportunities The difference between in-house recruiters, recruiters from staffing agencies Why they often hide critical details from you in the initial message The types of questions you must ask during the initial conversation How to discuss desired salary and everything you need to prepare to succeed in this initial chat--

Not everyone comes to the job search in the same way.
For some of you, it's a choice. You're employed but want something better.
For others, it wasn't. Maybe you lost your job or got laid off.
Believe it or not, there are pro's and con's to each situation.
No matter what kind of job seeker situation you're in, you have your mindset obstacles cut out for you.
And it's critical that you 1) know what they are, and 2) prepare to overcome them.
Beyond the mindset challenges ahead, I also share some "job search real talk" facts that everyone needs to know before they hit the job search!

Has it been a MINUTE since your last interview?
Do you keep telling yourself that you just need to apply to more jobs online?
WRONG.
There are only 3 ways to generate interview invites, and applying to jobs online is the least effective strategy of them all.
These 3 strategies work for every season of life - even when there's a "recession", hiring freezes, or holiday breaks.
Learning how to generate interview invitations is a SKILL, and on this episode I teach you how to start CREATING more interviews.

Are you struggling to land interviews?
Or, are you getting invited to the first round - only to later bomb the interview, and feel like you're not answering their questions correctly?
If this is happening to you, you might be shooting your shot TOO HIGH.
As of November 2023, we're in an employer-led market. That means there are MORE job-seekers than there are job postings or roles available. This means that employers can choose from the BEST of the BEST when it comes to their interview slates. They're not incentivized to "take a chance" on someone who doesn't quite meet the requirements or even the "desired qualifications." This is why we're seeing overqualified people get hired for jobs right now!
If you want to start getting invited to more interviews, and start feeling more confident in your interviews, tune into today's episode and learn how to avoid this mistake.

Tired of feeling paralyzed by the never-ending to-do list for your job search?
Well, you’re not alone!
It’s common to feel overwhelmed by the conflicting advice and long to-do lists that you might encounter when job searching.
In this episode, I cut through the noise and simplify the job search process into TWO STEPS: generating interview invitations and interviewing well with attractive candidate energy (ACE). By focusing on these two steps, you can avoid burnout, identify the root causes of your struggles, and move closer to landing your next job offer.

Welcome to the Season 3 Finale!
On this episode, I share a very personal anecdote that will help you with your next career move - PROMISE! This episode alone can save you thousands of dollars.
I almost moved to Denver last year because I was unhappy with my living situation. I felt disconnected from my community, I was uncomfortable with the Texas summer heat, I felt psychologically & physically unsafe in the the state of Texas a woman of color, I felt bored and I was telling myself that I was a victim in my "still in Texas" story.
In my overly emotional state, I came up with the WRONG solution to my LIFE problem. So many people make the same mistake when it comes to career change, and I want you to avoid OVER-SOLVING for your career problem. Luckily, I realized I was making the wrong solution soon enough to course-correct and find the RIGHT solution for me.
On this episode, I explain where I went wrong, what I should have done instead, and how this can help you in your next career move decision-making. Enjoy!

Do you live with a lot of regret about your career past?
Do you often blame external circumstances for not being where you want to be today in your career?
Do you often shame yourself for making the "wrong" moves in your career?
If any of these are standard stories that you repeat to yourself over and over again, you MUST listen to today's episode.
When we tell the story of our past using this kind of regret language, we end up disempowered, and it's incredibly difficult to move forward.
On this episode, I dive into why it's important to re-frame your career past as a series of decisions that you can fully OWN and feel good about. Yes, that's possible! I even share some of my own past career decisions and how I've reframed them to work for me.
I also share an exercise that I ask my clients to do when they are carrying a painful story about their career past, because we CANNOT move forward without removing that heavy bag.
If you suffer with these stories about your past, tune in and do this exercise BEFORE launching into your next career move.

Have you ever wondered about the journey to bring a book to the world, and who's involved in the process? Have you ever thought about self-publishing a book or writing a book some day?
On today's episode, we get an insider's perspective from literary agent and native New Yorker & Boricua, Linda Camacho, as she shares her story of breaking into the book publishing industry and enjoying stints at big names like Penguin Gorup, Simon & Schuster, and Random House. Linda brings a fresh perspective as a Latina literary agent who's stuck around in the industry for 18 years.
In this conversation we talk about:
How and why she had to accept very low pay and unpaid internships during the Great Recession (and how privilege played a role) How "harassing people for things" (aggressive networking) is the only way to break into this industry that is very elitist and fraught with nepotism Who is actually making money in the book publishing world The author's journey to getting paid and publishing a book (and how the pandemic made things more challenging!) How the "We Need Diverse Books" initiative has progressed since 2014 Why Linda moved into literary agenting, how literary agents get paid, and what's kept her in the industry so long!--

Do you sometimes "freeze" during interviews or public speaking?
Do you over-use filler words like "um", "you know, or "like"?
Do you tend to end your sentences with an up-speak tone, as if you are asking a question?
If you answered yes, then you're probably a normal human being. Most of us never get any communications coaching, but working on our communication can PAY DIVIDENDS in our career. It can open doors, inspire confidence in you, and lead to your next opportunity.
On today's episode, you'll hear from keynote speaker and communications expert, Hope Timberlake, as she shares her hot tips for women and under-represented minorities as they communicate during their job search - so that we can leave our self-doubt and imposter syndrome behind and SPEAK UP, DAMMIT!
