In this episode of "How to Pivot," I talk with Sonya Mead as we explore the transformative power of ChatGPT in the job search process. Sonya is an authority in tech recruiting, and she uses that experience to dive into the various ways ChatGPT can assist job seekers in finding their dream roles.

ChatGPT has proven to be an invaluable research tool, allowing candidates to engage in conversational searches to discover tailored job opportunities that align with their preferences and skills. It saves time and effort by acting as a knowledgeable virtual assistant.

Additionally, ChatGPT can also serve as a writing coach for resume creation and enhancement. It provides suggestions, feedback, and generates impactful bullet points, enabling candidates to craft compelling resumes that stand out to recruiters. We talk about using ChatGPT to prepare for interviews as well through simulated interview scenarios and conversational exchanges to help candidates practice and boost their confidence.

I can't wait to hear from you with questions about how ChatGPT can give you an edge!

Thanks for listening,

Sharon

Hey there, it's Sharon Bondurant. In my latest episode I discuss the importance of having a certain level of "pain" or discomfort that can serve to motivate you when making a pivot in your life.

Can having a "plan B" hold you back and make it more difficult to fully commit to your goals? I'll share a personal story from when I started my recruiting firm over 25 years ago. I had no choice but to show up and make it work. I'll talk about how I enlisted help and set strict timeframes to maximize my productivity.

When making a pivot it's important to create a situation where the pain of failure is high enough to push you to fully commit to your goals.

The importance of commitment and dedication when making a pivot in your life cannot be understated!

Thanks for listening, and I hope you enjoy this episode!

As someone who struggles with procrastination, I know firsthand how easy it is to put things off until the last minute. On this episode I talk about four common reasons why people procrastinate:

• Fear of failure: Sometimes, we put off a task because we're afraid we won't do it well, or we'll fail altogether. This fear can be paralyzing!
• Lack of motivation: When we're not excited or invested in a task, it's easy to push it aside and prioritize other things.
• Overwhelm: When a task feels too big or complex, it can be overwhelming. But delaying action can make the task seem even more daunting over time.
• Perfectionism: If we hold ourselves to impossibly high standards, we may avoid starting a task. This can prevent you from making progress.

To help overcome these obstacles, I give you some useful tools that can help you get motivated and stay on track!

I talk about some time-management strategies such as setting specific goals, breaking down tasks, prioritizing, and creating a schedule.

Thanks again for listening!
