Vickie Chapman, a Love Your Career Formula member, recently got a job as a Customer Success Manager!! I am so proud of Vickie and how much effort she put into her job search. It’s not easy and I hope this case study with Vickie gives you the motivation to keep going. Tell me about the beginning of your job search. What were you thinking before you joined Love Your Career Formula? I was working in a job that I loved as a project manager. We had a heads up that the opportunity was going to come to an end. So, I had started trying to build my LinkedIn profile, my resume, but at the same time I was feeling stuck. Finding the Love Your Career Formula was terrific! It allowed me to get out of this mindset that I am just a project manager. It gave me all the right questions to ask myself and to really think about what I like to do. The really enlightening question was thinking about what those moments that were most satisfying to me were. That really lead me to breaking out of just “I’m a project manager” to “I hel

Iiris Murto A question about personal branding: majority of the advice I've seen about branding is for your business and/or creative work. And that's all wonderful! But I've found it really difficult to find the applicable points to something more "boring" and less flashy, such as my field (sports economics and analytics). How would you go about building a captivating and dynamic personal brand when your area of expertise is inherently just looking at numbers and your field is mostly male. As someone who loves baking and high heels AND a good set of data, I'm wondering: how to mix all these often conflicting aspects and demands into a coherent personal brand that will help me move forward in my career? Great question Employee in a corporate consulting role. Male dominated. Numbers and spreadsheets. 8 years - Got promoted and raises but knew there was something more out there for me. Halfway through I started created a Personal Brand where I wanted to go, for my next step. It too a few years but I had a vision

Josie Camacho, a Love Your Career Formula member, is a Vice President in a Private Client Group at City National Bank. She worked hard in Love Your Career Formula and her hard work paid off. What are some of the fears you had when you started your job search? The biggest fear I had was deciding where I wanted to be, where I wanted to live, and if I should stay in the career I was in. I was interviewing and applying for jobs and I wasn’t getting any feedback, I had a lot of rejections. After a while you start to doubt yourself, thinking, “maybe I need to do something else or look at this differently.” Deciding to move to a different state was a challenge and a monumental decision to make. I was scared to death! I was scared to move. I was scared what everyone would think and what people would say. What were you thinking before you joined Love Your Career Formula? I was lost. I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I just knew that I wasn’t happy, not only with my job but also with my life. My career is such a huge

Summary: In 2012, I was thrilled to become a Professor of Career Development at a national University (I'll keep the name anonymous. Why? Keep reading). I was excited to share with the students what I had learned from working in HR at a top consulting firm. I had seen many mistakes made my new hires and I didn't want others to make those same mistakes. At that time, I had been blogging for three years and I was extremely honored to get this job offer. I was jumping for joy when I got that acceptance letter. I knew that teaching and coaching others fulfilled me and I wanted more of these opportunities.   I wanted to teach students how to figure out what their dream job was, get hired at their dream job and then have successful and happy careers.

If you want to have a business that impacts and changes the world and where you are living your dream life, did you know that there are five phases that you have to go through to successfully reach your goal? In my work in our Corporate Rescue Plan for years following the lives of women going from employee to entrepreneur, I have pinpointed five specific phases with milestones that need to be completed in each phase. If you miss one of these phases, it’s going to take you week, months even years longer to figure this out and cause you a lot of stress.
