Copeland Coaching Launches Podcast: Listen Now!

I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! The important holiday honoring our veterans is always a great opportunity to reconnect with friends and loved ones.

As you continue your job search, keep those close to you in mind. They can be a great resource for learning.

Of your friends, think of the one with the most interesting job. You know, the friend whose job you secretly wish you could have.

Have you ever thought about calling that friend and asking them to have an informational interview with you? An informational interview is when you sit down with another professional to learn about their career.

It’s not a job interview, but it is an excellent learning and networking opportunity. It can often help you to identify jobs you don’t want, and can open your eyes to jobs you hadn’t considered.

You might be surprised at just how easy it is to ask someone for an informational interview. Most people love to talk about what they do, and are more than happy to share with you.

I have found this to be true in both my personal job searches, and with my new podcast. As the title of this blog suggests, this is an exciting day. Today, I’m launching the first episode of the Copeland Coaching Podcast!

I sat down and interviewed my friend, Amy Ware, to get her perspective on the job search process. Amy is a long time career coach and Director of Career Services at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee.

In my interview, Amy shares tips on job searching, dressing for success, and nailing the interview. If you’ve ever had questions about what you should or shouldn’t wear to an interview, this podcast is for you! Amy also gives great tips on what to do after an interview to follow up with employers and to increase your chances of getting the job.

You can listen to the podcast in two ways. First, it’s available for download on Apple Podcasts. You can also listen on SoundCloud.com. So, whether you want to listen on your desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet, you’re covered! Listen from wherever, whenever.

        If this is your first time to listen to a podcast on Apple Podcasts, you may not see the episode above listed right away. If you’re having trouble, search for “the podcast app” in the App Store. After you download The Podcast App, you can search for the “Copeland Coaching Podcast.” You should then be able to view the podcast episode for download. Once you download it, you can begin listening!

I hope you will enjoy this first episode of the Copeland Coaching Podcast. Tune in each Tuesday for a new podcast and expert guest. We will be discussing everything from getting an interview,  switching career fields, offer negotiation, and finding happiness at work.

And speaking of switching fields and findings happiness, I’m searching for a Social Media Intern for Copeland Coaching.

This person should have extremely strong organization and time management skills, with the ability to work independently and meet deadlines. They should have excellent written and verbal communication skills.

At a minimum, they should have experience personally using social media. But, it’s not critical that they’ve used social media in business before. This will be a great learning opportunity for the right candidate.

This is a paid internship, and the intern may be located in Memphis or may work virtually.

The full job description is located here (note: this is a PDF document). Interested candidates are asked to send their resume, cover letter, and social media links to intern@CopelandCoaching.com.

I hope these tips have helped you. Visit CopelandCoaching.com to find more tips to improve your job search.

Happy hunting!
