Today is a very special episode. I am joined by one of my former students and one of the first graduates from the HR Career Accelerator program, Trupti Patel. In this episode, Trupti talks about her career journey and how she went from being a job seeker to a job offer in less than five months post-graduation. If you are a job seeker struggling to find your way, this episode will guide you on the right actions to take and motivate you to keep moving forward.   We discuss key strategies to stand out in a competitive environment, the importance of effective networking, and how to prepare for interviews. Trupti also offers insights into personal branding and maintaining motivation throughout the job search process. This episode is packed with practical tips and encouragement for all job seekers.
