I hosted a live fireside chat via Zoom last month. People sent me questions ahead of time, then I shared my answers with the attendees. We had some more detailed discussions later.
For example:
“What can I do to stand out amongst hundreds of other applicants?”
“Should I change my resume?”
“What are some strategies to network more effectively with professionals at my level or higher and what are some ways to maintain those relationships long-term?”
I recorded the call and uploaded it for this newsletter’s podcast episode. Scroll up, hit play, and enjoy!
By the way, if you’d like to attend the next fireside chat, I’m hosting it on March 27th. Sign up here to save a seat.
I’ll be sharing feedback on LinkedIn profiles and answering other questions you submit using the form on the event page. There’s still time to send me yours!
This week’s professional development challenge
⭐ Design or Redesign Your Website
This week, your Invincible Career exercise is to settle on a host (if you don’t already have one) and start designing and building your website. If you already have a website, this is an excellent opportunity to review it to make sure you’re still happy with what you created. But if you’re like most of us, your website is probably due for an update and refresh.
Hi, I’m Larry Cornett, a Personal Coach who can work with you to optimize your career, life, or business. My mission is to help you take complete control of your work and life so you can become a more “Invincible You.” I currently live in Northern California near Lake Tahoe with my wife and our Great Dane. It’s been quite rainy and foggy lately.

I just wanted to echo what Larry mentioned about networking in the podcast. Over a 35 year career in software development and contracting with 16 different companies, every job was referred to me by my network. Often the person who hired me was someone who I had worked for in a former company and knew that I did good work and could solve the problem they were having. It's good to keep in touch with former supervisors who have moved on to other opportunities -- they may your next hiring manager.
