On this week’s show, my friend and colleague John Tarnoff joins me to discuss his framework for older workers to use to land their next opportunity. John has helped hundreds of older workers over the years. He has great insight into what works for those transitioning to work and entrepreneurship.
More about John:
John has been the founder of the Mid-Career Lab for nearly 12 years. He helps executive and senior-level careerists land better jobs and enjoy impactful and sustainable careers. John found he could have a greater impact in helping people after being a film executive with Dreamworks.
John has also completed several courses for the LinkedIn library and has been a Thrive Global Certified Executive Coach and Workshop Facilitator since 2018.
Show highlights:
* John distinguishes mid-career work from earlier, earlier career, or entry-level work by pointing out that professionals bring significant background, experience, and insight. Strategic ability to their work and changes the game for everyone.
* The resume is a subsidiary and secondary to your LinkedIn profile.
* Being well-connected is a gold mine and necessary.
* Professional branding through thought leadership is essential
* “I think people are hesitant to jump in because they are afraid of making a mistake.”
