As a millennial, I am lucky that some portion of my life I grew up without the impact of social media, rampant consumerism, and the social isolation that is happening now to future generations, impacting Gen Z.
In this episode, I talk about the issues and mindsets to adopt to help Gen Z achieve their goals. Of course, there is massive potential and future for everyone no matter what generation you're in, but understanding why you feel as you do and you do the things you do will greatly help. Self-awareness is always the first step to finding solutions.

As a headhunter, I'm always negotiating from DAY ONE. Too many people forget that the clock starts ticking the moment you engage in the job search process.

If you're asking the question of how to get headhunters to notice you, it means that you don't have headhunters who are actively seeking you out as things stand.
That could most likely be because the highest likelihood that they don't exist or could be disinterested in serving your type of background.
In markets where you have lots of headhunter activity, headhunter requests are so bothersome candidates shut down.
Thus, what I'll teach you is how to get headhunters to notice you if they haven't already.

As you really start analyzing what you'd like to do for your career strategy, it's definitely worth a think to determine the pros and cons of joining either a startup or a large company, and how that may impact your ability to obtain short-term cash (wages) or long term renumeration (business ownership in the form of equity).
Not all equity is created equal especially since there are some firms where that matters, others where that equity will never amount to anything.
Thus, consider all the factors so you make the RIGHT decision for your future!

As usual, I won't sugarcoat my thoughts on people who get into businesses that fail or have put you at significant financial loss. There is a LOT of self-reflecting needed to break through and understand the causes of business failure.
The only way to move forward is to learn from your mistakes and do things differently, not be defensive or offended by reality.
Lastly, there is NOTHING shameful about bankruptcy. I talk about why it can be good for you here.

Many people ask me for a path to success or a direct map. Please listen to this entire podcast to find your road.

As a headhunter, I no doubt, like many others, prefer to work with my candidates (clients less so) exclusively. However, I will not stop my candidates from entertaining new opportunities or speaking with other people.
In today's Daily DANDAN, I go through the reasons why:
1. Exclusivity (under the right circumstances) benefits everyone.
2. You're entitled to candidate rights and protection.
3. You still have power in the recruitment process.

It's good to be cheap and frugal, but not always
When it comes to careers, many people spend more as they start earning more. They get deeply sucked into the rat race, which leads to subpar life and career decisions.
What is sad and ironic is that people are willing to shell out as much money as they need to for consumer goods, instead of spending smartly on self-development, environmental betterment, and learning the skills you need to continue developing.
Financial success is deeply intertwined with career success, as with all aspects of our lives. Thus, the Daily DANDAN reminds us all to consider what we're spending money on and whether it's worth it or not.

We are who we are largely because of the environment we've been exposed to throughout our lives.
As much as proponents of individualism and autonomy like to promote how humans can conquer their environment, reality does NOT reflect that sentiment.

Everyone has experienced analysis paralysis - you think too much and do too little.
This is a major career killer because it stops you from thinking the right thoughts and doing what you must to obtain a great job offer.
I share personal stories and metaphors to hammer this point in. What we need to be doing instead of thinking is getting out to market. Whether that's your background, your business, or your consulting capabilities, people need to know you, to hear from you, and know that you exist.
Therefore, DOING is the best thing you can do today to jumpstart your career and business.
