3 months ago, I shared my QUITTING OVER TEXT story. Think “The Devil Wears Prada” when Anne Hathaway throws her phone into the water fountain and never looks back.
Sharing it felt like falling on my face in front of a crowd of 2.6K+ viewers. But what it did was land unexpectedly in one of my client’s feed 3 months ago. We’ll call that client Sarah for now to protect her privacy.
Sarah found my story when she felt like quitting over text too.
She wanted to pivot from project management to product management but had no idea how.
Sarah fit my ideal client persona. The type of client I love coaching. Smart, Ambitious, Hard Working…Just haven’t found her big break.
After 2.5 months of following my process to the T, I was able to keep Sarah from committing the same career suicide I committed years ago and gracefully leave her current position on good terms because I helped her land 3 product manager offers in the 6-figures.
And in a couple of weeks, Sarah’s real name will be revealed.
In the meantime, I share this story to tell you that one of the secrets of converting an interview into an offer is: authenticity. Share an authentic piece of yourself with employers to build that rapport and connection.
After all, Sarah interviewed me when she was looking for a career coach and hired me on the spot after reading my story.
