Summary

We know many people in this community are looking for a career transition. That is why we are so excited to have our first ever career coach on the show today. Madelyn Mackie is a certified career management coach and she walks us through everything from how to build your resume, to how to network, and also how to get back into the workforce if you’ve been away for a while.

Making a career change is a big decision and Madelyn starts off by sharing how common this shift is for women these days. She also explains how and where to start if you are feeling like you want to make a change to your current work situation. Madelyn covers the importance of making a list of the things you really enjoy doing as far as work goes and offers a suggestion on what to search for instead of a job title when it comes to hunting for new opportunities.

Have you heard of upskilling? Madelyn explains what this is and why it doesn’t just have to be seeking another degree. She also chats with us about how networking can change the trajectory of your career and gives her top tips on how to build a resume for the current job you are applying for.
