How To Script Yourself as a Job Seeker - with Judith Humphrey
In this episode, Bart interviews Judith Humphrey, Founder of The Humphrey Group, about her new book, The Job Seeker’s Script. In the interview, Judith discusses how candidates can successfully advocate for themselves, whether they want to move up in their present company or move to a new firm. Her book shows job seekers how to tell their story, by first setting their goals, and then using her book’s template to script themselves throughout their journey – from the initial elevator pitch to their final interview. Using this model, job candidates will impress others and win their coveted job.
