Where are the 40+ voices?

Lately I keep seeing a trend: women in their early 30s with limited real-world experience leaving corporate to become ā€œconsultantsā€

ā€œSo… how’s the job search going?ā€ Honestly, this question should come with a shot of tequila. But I guess that’s what happens when you put your job search out there on LinkedIn 🫣. Fair enough. Still, I’m annoyed nevertheless, because I just started the journey, and we all know job searches at our level aren’t exactly Amazon Prime deliveries. They take time. A lot of time. And no, there’s no tracking number where you can refresh the page to see: ā€œYour executive role is now out for delivery.ā€ So instead of groaning every time someone asks, I’m learning to play with it (I try!) Here are three answers I’ve been testing out (feel free to steal them): ā€œIt’s like a Netflix series: great plot, just waiting for the next episode.ā€ ā€œI’m in my ā€˜research and development’ era.ā€ ā€œLet’s just say I’m planting seeds… and occasionally yelling at the soil.ā€ 🌱 The point is: I put my search out there because I believe in visibility and serendipity. But let’s not kid ourselves - I don’t owe anyone pipeline updates or a daily progress report (except for my harshest critic - mešŸ˜‰). And more importantly, IĀ“m still me...nothing really has changed. So let me throw this back to you: šŸ‘‰ What’s your go-to answer when someone asks what you do or how the job search is going? Do you default to the safe line, or do you get creative? Hit reply and tell me, I’d love to steal a few good ones for my next round of ā€œnetworking small talk survival.ā€_Dr. Kerstin Brehm_The Friday Fix Newsletter
