Hi, Matt here. You've invested in your education to grow, advance, and unlock new career opportunities.

But here's the challenge. How do you position yourself to stand out in a competitive job market?

It's not just about what you know. It's about how much you communicate your value, build strategic relationships, and take decisive action.

That's where today's sponsor, Strawberry.me, career coaching, comes in.

They match students and professionals with certified career coaches who will help you refine

your personal brand to confidently articulate your skills and experiences,

to develop a results-driven strategy and stay accountable so you

follow through on networking, applications, and negotiations. Because knowing what to do is one thing.

Having a coach to push you forward, that's how you create real momentum in progress.
