The Unstuck Career
Building Your Career Without Worrying About Reputation
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week’s episode, we tackle the age-old question: “What will other people think?”—and how your obsession with reputation may be keeping you stuck in your career. I break down the invisible weight of other peoples' opinions, from LinkedIn hesitations to the viral “olive oil on a resume” controversy, showing how even the smallest decisions can become paralyzing when we let imagined critics sway our choices.
You’ll hear why chasing a flawless image is a losing game, especially when the very things you hide might matter to one person but turn off another. I get candid about the realities of ageism and other biases in the workplace, and offer actionable advice on what to show (and what not to) when crafting your resume—without making yourself disappear just to avoid rejection.
If you’re tired of filtering yourself to fit someone else’s mold, this episode invites you to reclaim your integrity, own your authentic story, and focus on what you can actually control.
