061 | When to Quit Your Job - How to know when it's the right time to quit and find something new
We're back for another SEASON of the Career Coaching with Jessness Podcast, wooo! I couldn't be more excited.
This season has some awesome stuff in store for you. For the first time ever I'm going to have guests on the show. Not every week, but here and there I will bring someone on who specializes in a particular work-related area. I, of course, will still be the coolest one on the show BUT it will be great to get some new perspectives as well. ;)
In today’s episode I share with you a simple strategy for assessing your unhappiness at work. Without knowing what specifically is making you unhappy, guess what? You’re going to stay unhappy.
I also share how to use the information so you can make the tough choice: whether to stay or quit and find something new. This is no easy question to answer and today’s show will give you a solid process for figuring out what you should do.
The best part about this strategy is that when you take yourself through each of the steps, by the end you will know with 100% confidence what to do next. This strategy gives you a process to follow so you know when you decide to quit you made the decision from a thoughtful and logical place.
Here’s a mini overview of the four steps we’ll dive into during the show:
1. Assess the situation - first we’ll figure out what specifically is making you unhappy
2. Determine the owner - then we’ll figure out who is responsible for the things causing you unhappiness
3. Take action - there are two roads of action to take, we’ll look at how to take action in both and how you can start TODAY
1. Either make changes yourself
2. OR ask for what you need form your boss/company/etc.
4. Make a decision
Making a tough decision like this takes time. The reason it takes time is because we have to move out of our head and center into our body. When we make decisions from that kind of place, we know we’re making the best possible choices for ourselves.

055 | Age Discrimination in the Workplace - How and why it happens and what you can do about it
Age discrimination….
- Is it a real thing?
- Does it actually happen?
- How?
- Why?
- Where does it really coming from?
One thing we know for sure is that...it’s illegal.
But hey...doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
If you’ve been listening to my show for a while you know I’m not one to just bitch and moan about a topic, have a hay day and leave you to it. My objective for every show is to share my insight on a career-related topic and provide you with action steps to help you go BIG in your life and career.
In today’s episode, I share with you insights on the topic of age discrimination over the last 4+ years as a technical recruiter working in the hiring world, but also a little bit about my personal experience when it comes to how age affects the workplace.
The truth is, our age is our age, there’s nothing we can do to change it.
This episode is designed to empower you to look at why age discrimination happens and what you can do about it.

035 | Phone Screen Strategies pt. 2 - How to use emotional intelligence to create human connection
As a follow up to last week's episode, tune in today to hear the next 5 strategies around expressing not only the WHAT YOU DO, but the how and WHY behind it.
Why does this matter? 99% of interviews start out with a phone screen as the first step in the interview process. It is critical to show the value you bring to the role and responsibilities at hand, but ALSO super important to share WHO YOU ARE. After all, we're not just the technical skills, or software programs we use day to day - WE ARE HUMANS.
Enter: EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. It's a hot topic in the hiring world right now so it's important for me to share with you these tips. This is going to be a key topic in upcoming weeks for the show.
The question is...How do you showcase the value you bring in work experience, AND the value being the unique amazing person you are? The true authentic you that's unlike anyone else.
YOUR:
- Personality
- Character
- Energy
- Values
- ETC.
