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.
This is not your standard presentation class! This is a fun, dynamic and active class for professionals who want to use storytelling techniques to up their game at work and make whatever they present engaging and impactful. Participants will build physical awareness, vocal presence, and learn how to create a compelling narrative. If you’re a leader, executive, or professional ready to level up your presence, this class is for you.

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.

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