    Use Your Career Story to Show Your Value, with Connie Teng

    An open job can get hundreds of applications. To stand out, you need to show employers how you can solve their problems, and that starts with knowing your story.

    Career coach Connie Teng joins Find Your Dream Job to break down what recruiters are listening for when you walk them through your resume, and why your "why" matters just as much as your skills and experience.

    Connie shares strategies for crafting a career narrative that connects your past roles, your motivations, and your strengths to the employer's specific needs. She also digs into the role limiting beliefs play in holding candidates back and how to get unstuck.

    Whether you're preparing for a recruiter screen or a final-round interview, this episode will help you walk in ready to show your value and make a lasting impression.

    ADHD in the Workplace

    I sat down with Jeremy Kestler (ACC, MBA), an Executive Leadership and Career Coach who specializes in supporting neurodivergent clients.

    In our conversation, he:

    ✅ Debunks common misconceptions (no—you’re not “lazy”)

    ✅ Breaks down what ADHD actually is

    ✅ Shares how it can show up in the workplace

    ✅ Offers practical tools to help you not just cope—but thrive

    Whether you have ADHD, manage someone who does, or simply want to better understand how different brains work at work—this is worth a watch.

  • Umm…

    Umm…

    Trying to get rid of “ums”?
    That usually just creates um…..
    In this session, we start with awareness — then replace it with something better.

    No pressure. No perfection. Just presence.

    🤔 What do you need to work on when you speak?

  • Gestures

    How can we use our body to amplify our message?

    👉 First, it's about awareness.

    👉 Next, we find the right way to punctuate what we're saying.

    👉 Finally, we practice!

    📚 Storytelling Part 2

    ❓ Ever realize halfway through an interview answer… that you’re rambling?

    Too much background.
    Too many details.
    And suddenly the point gets lost.

    🧠 So how do we turn a running monologue into a clear, compelling story?

    👉 In this clip, I show how we tighten her answer so the key point lands faster.
