Here’s something practical you can try tonight. Ask your AI tool to find businesses within 20 miles of you in a field you're passionate about. Ask for names, addresses, websites, and phone numbers organized in a spreadsheet. It'll pull it together fast. That spreadsheet is just your starting point. AI can’t replace your energy, passion, or presence. It gets you to the door, but you still have to knock. Call and ask for the person who makes hiring decisions. Or even better, show up in person. Share your passion, talk about your skills, and ask what a role in their world could look like for someone like you. This week’s newsletter explains exactly how to have that conversation. Give it a read and make your list tonight. #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #AITools #60DaysToHired #TheMarketingProfessor

Here’s a step most job seekers completely skip. Open your favorite AI tool and paste in your resume. Then say: "I have a strong passion for books, vinyl records, and fitness. What transferable skills do I have that would be relevant to companies in these industries? Give me 10 examples." You’ll get 10 examples. Ask for more. By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of what you can offer to industries you actually care about, not just the ones you’ve worked in before. This changes how you talk about yourself, and that can change everything. #TransferableSkills #JobSearchTips #CareerAdvice #60DaysToHired #TheMarketingProfessor

Some people hide in the bathroom before work. Others use up all their paid time off just to get a break. Many spend the weekend dreading Monday. If any of this feels familiar, remember that anxiety is a signal, not a life sentence. It doesn’t mean you’re weak. It just means something about your current situation isn’t working for you. Start by taking a blank sheet of paper and drawing four boxes. You’ll find the full steps in this week’s newsletter. What does your work anxiety look like? You’re not alone. #MentalHealthAtWork #CareerChange #WorkAnxiety #JobSearchTips #TheMarketingProfessor

We all know that feeling. Late Sunday afternoon rolls around, your mood drops, and tension sets in. You start dreading Monday before the week even begins. I used to think that was just part of having a job. But eventually, I realized it meant something wasn’t right. Feeling anxious about work doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you. It’s your mind and body telling you your job might not be the right fit. The problem is the environment, not you. If Sunday nights are hard, pay attention to what that feeling is trying to tell you. Read the full story in this week’s newsletter. I’d love to know: when does your work anxiety feel strongest? #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #60DaysToHired #TheMarketingProfessor
