73. "If I knew then what I know now" - ChatGPT interviews me about career advice
Manage episode 470982738 series 3547019
This week, I’m doing something a little different—I let ChatGPT interview me! The topic: “If I Knew Then What I Know Now”—advice career returners and career changers wish they had known earlier.
In this unique episode, I hand the “mic” to ChatGPT (yes, really!) to ask me the big questions about my 13-year journey from stay-at-home mom back to HR professional—and the strategies that finally broke through my job search plateaus.
We cover:
✅ Mindset & Confidence
✅ Resume & Job Search Strategy
✅ Networking & Interviewing
✅ Negotiation & Career Growth
✅ Work-Life Balance & Adjusting Back to Work
One of my biggest shifts? Realizing my unpaid experience had value. Strategic volunteering rebuilt my confidence, and my Strengths-First Resume flipped the script—highlighting skills first instead of gaps. This simple change transformed my results (and you can grab the template in the show notes! ⤵️).
I also learned to stop justifying my career break in interviews—because employers don’t need your life story, they need to know you can do the job. Now, I help my clients interview with confidence.
