Summary

Time for Fan Mail Friday, where we'll be answering your questions and dropping some knowledge and feedback to help you kick the weekend off right. Let's cut to it! In this episode: Feel like your resume is lacking in experience? Show 'em what you can build. More listener endorsements for the virtues of dual enrollment (something we wish we'd found out about sooner)! A listener brings some great advice to the "why do bad bosses happen to good employees?" discussion from Fan Mail Friday #76. When you're just starting out in the entertainment industry, how do you mingle and network with the rich and successful in your field when you barely have two pennies to your name? [Relevant reference: Nev Medhora | How to Crash Parties and Grow Your Network (Episode 390)] Two years into a mostly perfect relationship in which you motivate each other to be your best selves -- but the sex just doesn't happen as much as it used to. What do you do? Quick shoutouts to: Dena -- James Swanwick's girlfriend who listens to AoC religiously and says it's just slightly better than his podcast -- and Kevin Rapp (happy belated birthday)!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Art of Charm. I'm your host Jordan Harbinger and I'm here with producer Jason de
0:04.4	Philipo. Here at the Art of Charm we don't have all the answers but we definitely have all the
0:08.4	right questions. Today on Fan Mill Friday those questions come from you. If you're new to
0:12.9	the Art of Charm podcast, Fan Mill Friday isn't a great place to start. Most of our content is more
0:17.9	in-depth and longer formats so check out the best of at the Art of Charm.com slash best or the
0:22.8	fundamentals toolbox at the Art of Charm.com slash toolbox. That's where we've got the fundamentals
0:27.8	of body language and nonverbal communication, negotiation, attraction, networking, influence,
0:33.1	persuasion and everything else we teach here at the Art of Charm. We'll send all of this to your
0:37.7	inbox if you text Charm that's C-H-A-R-M-E-D to 3-3-4-4-4 in the U.S. or if you're not go to theartofcharm.com.
0:45.4	All right let's cut to it. As a recent college grad I was a biology major with only one lab assistant
0:51.2	experience and some math tutoring. I'm not sure if I should start a LinkedIn or online profile since

1:00.1	and learning programming so I can stand out over other recent biology grads while at the same time
1:05.1	networking with the department professors I work with. If you have any advice I'd be very grateful.
1:09.9	Thanks for your podcast. It helped me through a breakup and made me want to be the best version
1:13.6	of myself since the first time I heard it. Signed JL. Hey thanks for the note JL. My advice on this
1:19.9	is to build something. Nothing kicks another resume's butt like an actual product that solves
1:26.4	even a small problem. I wouldn't even look at other resumes if someone showed me something they built
1:32.4	no matter how simple it was. So many people can list a lot of things on a resume but what most people
1:37.9	can't do is show that they figure out how to identify and solve a problem. That alone will set you
1:44.3	apart by a wide margin and I'm not talking about something crazy huge or a whole company. I mean
1:48.8	you could create a software product for a phone or even a website that does something or
