She is the author of Maximum You, which was recently published and is a great read. Emilie talked with me about when you're looking for a new job, think about what makes you unique and how you can stand out from the other candidates and told me that. She told me "it's not always the obvious path that gets you where you want to go. Really stop and think about your strengths. You want to go and interview for a job where you are exactly what they're after. If you get very clear on what you're good at, there will be a company out there that really wants what you have to offer. So it's being very good at articulating that, both in a CV, a covering letter, and then with my clients, I will put them through interview practice, and help them get better and better at articulating what their strengths are ... So rather than comparing and despairing ... Think about what advantages do you have over the other candidates?"   People & Resources Mentioned The Untethered Soul – Michael Singer The Compound Effect - Darren Hardy   Contact Emilie Website (company): https://www.alchemycoaching.co.uk/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emiliewest/   Reframe & Reset Your Career Resources & Contact Info Website: https://www.harshaboralessa.com/  YouTube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/c/ReframeResetYourCareer  LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/reframe-reset-your-career/?viewAsMember=true E-mail - [email protected] Thank you for your continued support of Reframe & Reset Your Career, I do appreciate it.
