Ever find yourself making it to the final round interview, only to get that dreaded rejection again and again with zero real feedback? I see it all the time, and that’s why in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly why it happens, straight from a real client success story.

Meet “Sarah”, ten years deep in Customer Success, landing interviews left and right (we’re talking big-name companies), but somehow never sealing the deal. Her problem wasn’t her skills or her track record. It was three simple mistakes—stuff almost no employer will ever point out, but absolutely fatal when it comes to landing the offer.

In this episode, I walk you through the three tiny (and totally fixable) changes Sarah made that took her from stuck and frustrated to hired in three weeks. I’ll show you how she ditched the robotic presentation style, started talking with her audience instead of at them, and learned to make her data actually tell a story. These quick pivots didn’t just land her a new role—they made her stand out as a “breath of fresh air” to hiring managers.

If you’re tired of clueless employer feedback, tired of rehearsing yourself into oblivion and still walking away empty-handed, and so, so tired of wondering if you’re ever going to break through, this episode is for you. Hit play and let’s dive in.
