This Substack Is Your Front Porch
This space was created so you never have to job search alone. Every note, newsletter, and reply is part of the 60 Days to Hired Network. Pull up a chair; you’re already part of the community. #60DaysToHired #substackcommunity #jobsearch #personalbrand
Share the Win. Multiply the Energy.
Got a callback? Tell someone. Nailed an interview? Share it. Sharing your wins, big or small, helps others believe their win is coming too. That’s true leadership. #60DaysToHired #wins #jobsearch #community #leadership
Go Alone, Go Fast. Go Together, Go Far.
The old saying is true: go alone, and you burn out fast. Go together, and you go far. Surround yourself with others on the same journey. Community will support and keep you moving. #60DaysToHired #community #motivation #careeradvice #jobsearch
Accountability Partners Beat Algorithms
Algorithms won’t check in after a tough interview, but a real person will. This week, find an accountability partner. Share your goals and check in daily. That small step can change your job search. #60DaysToHired #accountability #jobsearch #goals
You Need a Front Porch, Not a Silo
Picture your job search as a front porch where people drop by, share stories, and swap leads without keeping score. That’s what the 60 Days to Hired Network offers: a warm front porch for your next move. #60DaysToHired #community #jobsearch #careers
Getting a rejection email stings.
It’s harder when you face it alone. Find your community, people who’ll laugh with you, help you bounce back, and encourage you to keep trying. #60DaysToHired #rejection #jobsearch #community #resilience
Networking Is a Dirty Word. Try Community.
Networking can feel like collecting business cards that go nowhere. Community is different. It’s about showing up, sharing what you know, and asking real questions. Forget networking. Start building your tribe. #60DaysToHired #community #personalbrand
Your Family Is Part of the Plan
Your job search affects those around you. Include your partner, kids, and close friends. When they understand your goal, they become teammates instead of being confused by your stress. #60DaysToHired #family #supportsystem #careertransition
Even Cheerleaders Need a Squad
You’re your biggest cheerleader, but even the best need a team. Surround yourself with other job seekers and career changers. Share your scripts, celebrate wins, and talk about rejections so you know you’re not alone. #60DaysToHired #community #jobsearch #accountable
Don’t Job Search in a Vacuum
Doing a 60-day career sprint alone can lead to burnout. Let your people know what you’re up to and why: "I’m focusing hard because I’m building our next chapter." You’re not being selfish; you’re shaping your future. #60DaysToHired #careertransition #mindset
If you never buy the book.
Finally, remember these tips come straight from 60 Days to Hired. Even if you use them all without buying the book, I still consider that a win. Just promise you’ll put them to work.

Everything I share is here for you to use. Feel free to copy the prompts, borrow the templates, and tweak the scripts. The only mistake is not putting them into action.

Stop Begging, Start Researching
Instead of asking, “Are you hiring?” try asking, “What roles do you usually fill, and what qualities do top candidates have?” This helps you learn about the market and follow up better.

Make LinkedIn a Daily Rep
Make LinkedIn a daily habit, not just a last resort. Spending ten focused minutes each day works better than aimless browsing after a layoff.

Earn the ‘Call Again’ List
If recruiters don’t reply, it might be a branding problem. Answer quickly and clearly to get on their “call again” list. Staying engaged is key.

Be a Recruiter’s Easiest Win
Being prepared doesn’t bother recruiters. Having a polished résumé, an updated LinkedIn profile, and a clear target market makes you an easy pick. Preparation helps you stand out.

Premium Only Works If You Do
LinkedIn Premium works best when you actively use features like InMail, filters, and Who Viewed Your Profile to start real conversations. You need to use it consistently and with purpose.
#LinkedInTips #jobsearchtools #careeradvancement #networking #60DaysToHired
Your Headline Is Prime Real Estate
Just saying “Open to work” isn’t enough. Use your headline to explain who you help and what value you bring. Clear headlines catch recruiters’ eyes.

Show Up, Don’t Just Sign Up
LinkedIn isn’t just a place to upload your profile and wait. Make it a habit to comment and post every day to show recruiters you’re active and serious.

Treat This Like a Free Workshop
Write your “I help…” sentence, update your LinkedIn headline, and share content that matches your new promise. By the end, you’ll have a personal brand that stands out and is ready to share. #60daystohired #personalbranding #careers #jobsearch
Stop Leading With Your Job Title
“Senior Manager” tells people your position, not your impact. Start with the problem you solve and the results you deliver. For example: “I help new managers become confident leaders in 90 days.” #60daystohired #personalbranding #careers #jobsearch
From Generic to Premium
Generic brands compete on price. Premium brands stand out through story, experience, and results. The same goes for your career. If your profile or resume could fit anyone, it’s too generic. Pick a bullet point today and make it unique. #USP #60daystohired #personalbranding
The One-Sentence Brand Test
Try this simple test: fill in the blank, “I help ______ do ______ so they can ______.” For example, “I’m in marketing” isn’t enough, but “I help local businesses stop wasting ad dollars so they can grow with confidence” is much better. #USP #60daystohired #personalbrand
Market Yourself Like Nike, Not Like HR
When you see the logos for Nike, Starbucks, or Mercedes, you know what they stand for. Your name should do the same. If your professional story is just a list of tasks, you’re sharing duties, not identity. #USP #60daystohired #personalbranding #careers #jobs
If Your Name Walked Into the Room First
If someone mentions your name in a room you’ve never entered, what do people feel? Are they excited, curious, or indifferent? Build your brand through your conversations, emails, posts, and results.#USP #60daystohired #personalbranding #careers #jobsearch
You Are Not “Just Another Applicant.”
Nike doesn’t say, “We make shoes that cover feet.” They sell identity. Instead of saying, “I’m in marketing,” explain your value, like, “I help local businesses stop wasting ad dollars.” #USP #60daystohired #personalbranding #careers #jobsearch
Resignation Letter To Resume
While the final edits to 60 Days to Hired are underway, I’m sharing the pages that changed my career first: the resignation letter, the LinkedIn overhaul, and the AI prompts. Your resume should read like the proof that those documents were right about you.

Boundaries With AI and With Employers.
I use AI to prepare, but I still turn down companies and offers that don’t respect my time, value, or goals.
AI helps me uphold my standards, but it doesn’t set them.
