We tend to lunge directly toward budgeting, saving, and investing when the topic of money comes up, but what about the income side? A major driving factor of how well your budget math is working or how fast you might reach your money goals relies on your income. 

As we start 2021, maybe you’ll return to the office, seek a new job, or raise your hand for a promotion. Kristi Meenan, Career Coach and Certified Resume Writer (and mom!) knows what it’s like to get back “out there” after being a SAHM. 

“It's not just about creating a resume and a cover letter!” - Kristi Meenan. 

A professional resume writer, job search strategist, LinkedIn pro, and career coach, Kristi Meenan, joins me today to share her insights on how to get your ideal job. Even if you aren’t sure whether you want to work from home or switch careers, listen as she discusses money mindset and how to stand out to recruiters.

Kristi explains that she, too, has experienced what felt like an endless loop of applying for jobs without success. Luckily, she met with recruiters to determine why she wasn't getting hired.

In this episode, listen for the following:

• Although we, as moms, are not getting paid for it, we’re still managing a household. There are deliverables that need to be met and schedules to be kept.
• Step into your power - talk with a pro about how to negotiate your salary before you receive an offer.  
• Money is just one of many factors in a compensation package. Vacations, working from home, and other perks all deserve consideration. Negotiate for the best deal. 

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

[00:04:33] Kristi started her own business as a Certified Resume Writer because she loves helping moms find their way back into the workforce. 

[00:08:09] Need a LinkedIn expert? Recruiters and hiring managers do their research on LinkedIn. As a job seeker, you want to take advantage of every tool out there that’s going to set you apart. 

[00:14:17] Recruiters are searching for candidates who take the time to customize their resumes for each position they apply for, as opposed to sending out generic versions.

She shares about mindset shifts during the job search, what hiring managers are looking for this year, how to reinvent yourself at any age, and how to prepare in simple steps NOW, even if you aren’t ready to dive into the job market yet, but will later this year.
