Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Ever been told you should just “wait until after the holidays” to start your job search? Yeah, I’ve heard it too, and every time, it makes me cringe. In this episode, I’m flipping that tired career advice on its head and sharing why October (yes, right now!) is secretly the golden window to land your next Customer Success job while everyone else is kicking back with pumpkin spice lattes, stalling their own momentum.

Here’s the truth… the world doesn’t pause for the holidays, and neither do ambitious companies looking to fill urgent roles before January chaos hits. I break down exactly how this myth is costing you prime opportunities and an actual shot at being the person with an offer in hand before the New Year. I reveal my three-part strategy that my clients use to get hired in November and December when everyone else is sitting on the sidelines.

I’m walking you through why playing the “wait until January” game is honestly sabotaging your career progress, and what you should be laser-focused on instead. We’ll dig into how to audit your job search activities so you only spend time on things that really move the needle, the (unsexy but essential) ways to build a powerful network while the rest of the job market is asleep, and how to get your interview skills so sharp you’ll walk into Q1 prepared to crush every conversation. Listen, none of this is rocket science, but it does separate the people who keep spinning their wheels every January from the ones who land offers while everyone else is writing New Year’s resolutions.

If you’re sick of waiting, tired of outdated career playbooks, and ready to build real momentum for your next big career move, this episode is your fast track. Don’t let these next three months go to waste. Hit play and let’s dive in.
