Amplify Your Job Search

Status Go Podcast: Episode 1

“Of all of the leaders out there in all of our industries a full 85% don’t get beyond the self authoring stage.” – Ron West

Episode 83: Amplify Your Job Search

Roles are reversed on this episode of Status Go and Jeff Ton, Status Go Host and Strategic IT Advisor, is in the hot seat talking about his second book, Amplify your Job Search: Strategies for Finding Your Dream Job. In the book and in this discussion with Alicia Gaba, SVP of Marketing, Jeff shares strategies born out of his own experience when he found himself out of work with an underdeveloped network and feeling tentative about conducting a job search in the age of social media. Since then Jeff has provided successful council for hundreds of others in the same position; he advocates a laser focused approach of finding not just any job, but a job that matters to you. Whether COVID-19 has made you insecure about the stability of your current position or you are simply looking to explore new options, this episode is for you.
