This is Find Your Dream Job, the podcast that helps you get hired, have the career you want, and make a difference in life.

I'm your host, Mack Pritchard. I'm also and make a difference in life. I'm your host,

Mack Pritchard. I'm also the founder of Max List. It's a job board in the Pacific Northwest that

helps you find a fulfilling career. One of the best ways to get good at job hunting is to talk to

people who do it well. That's why once a month, I interview a Max List Reader who found a job they love.

Our guest today is Monica Lucas. She's the content strategy manager at Lithia and Driveway.

It's an automotive group with more than 400 dealerships across the U.S., Canada, and the UK.

Monica Lucas believes in the power of collaboration.

In a story you can find in the MaxList website, she says collaborating with others has made her more creative at work and helped her find jobs.

And I'm just truly blessed to have a career that has brought me such joy and fulfillment.

already found a job since she got laid off before I did and then I remember I got laid off from my role on Friday the 3rd, November 13th, which was Friday the 13th.
