Feeling lost in your career? Worried that you might be too old to make a comeback in the job market?
Sarah Glassey knows that feeling all too well.
After being out of work for nine months, she wasn’t just in a pickle – she felt like she was “stuck in a whole vat of pickles in a factory”! 😬
With stress levels through the roof and a head full of ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts) – such as “I’m too old” and “I don’t have the right skills” – Sarah’s confidence was at rock bottom.
But she’s turned it all around, and now she’s here to share exactly how she did it! 🎉
Here’s why you need to tune in
In this podcast episode, Sarah reveals how she didn’t just add a few new skills to her CV – she uncovered tools that fired up her self-worth and helped her land a promotion. 🛠️✨
And yes, some of these tools come from the most unexpected places, like a 1980s chocolate bar advert and the movie Cocktail!
Here’s what to listen out for:
[02:50] The stress of not knowing what to do next.
[06:50] Looking at things differently.
[10:31] What to do when you don’t have all the skills for a job.
[18:34] How do you go after a promotion?
[21:54] Do a skills inventory.
[24:30] How are you talking to yourself?
[27:10] The power of 5,4,3,2,1.
[28:54] Coughlin’s law.
[35:15] Are you too old or not too old yet?
So, if you’re stuck in a rut and don’t know what to do next or want to get back to work in a role you love, this episode is for you. ▶️▶️▶️
