Show notes:

Getting a job as a NP is SO different than getting one as a nurse.

This week I had my friend Amanda from The Resume Rx on to answer the top questions I got about starting the NP job process.

There are SO many things we could talk about! I'd love to have her back again for more conversations.

New Nurse Practitioner Job Tips

In this video, we covered:

  • 1:25 - Where does a newly graduating NP even start?

  • 4:15 - What steps to take after taking boards?

  • 6:43 - DEA? NPI? What does that even mean?

  • 7:40 - When to start applying for a job?

  • 9:30 - What is credentialing and how long does that take?

  • 10:50 - Is it even appropriate to reach out to offices with everything happening around COVID19?

    clinical stuff if you're following me at

    0:20

    all you know that I do but I know that

    0:22

    there's a lot of the transition becoming

    0:25

    a new nurse practitioner there's a lot

    0:26

    more than just the clinical stuff this

    0:28

    all that career related all those career

    0:31

    related topics that I've just not as

    0:33

    savvy with and so my friend I'm super

    0:34

    grateful because my friend Amanda

    0:36

    actually runs the resume rx calm and

    0:38

    she's super super passionate about

    0:40

    helping nurses and nurse practitioners

    0:43

    this journey between being a nurse to a

    0:46

    nurse practitioner so I hope you enjoy

    0:48

    our interview it's my first one so a

    0:50

    little bit maybe not myself but

    0:53

    hopefully you enjoy and definitely leave

    0:55

    us a comment below or any questions that

    0:56

    you have further she's a wealth of

    0:57

    knowledge I'd love to have her back on

    0:59

    but hopefully it's a good one for you

    1:01

    we're doing now so yeah there are a lot

    1:05

    of questions that people have so I

    1:06

    reached out to my email list I reached

    1:07

    out to people on Instagram and Facebook

    1:10

    and asked what their questions were

    1:11

    about graduating if they are currently a

    1:13

    student and there are so many things we

    1:16

    could talk about so many questions I

    1:17

    could ask but I just want to maybe start

    1:19

    with the most common ones that kind of

    1:21

    came across and so I think yeah maybe

    1:25

    where we can start is like where does

    1:27

    somebody even start like if they're at

    1:28

    the end of their program they still have

    1:30

    clinicals to finish we're in the middle

    1:31

    of this curta virus pandemic and we like

    1:34

    they also just like on a regular year I

    1:37

    don't necessarily know where to go where

    1:39

    would you recommend they start first

    How to start your job search

    1:40

    yeah so I think that a great place to

    1:43

    start would be with some self-assessment

    1:46

    and self-reflection and you know trying

    1:49

    not to panic but to kind of stay calm

    1:52

    center yourself and figure out start

    1:54

    thinking about like what you actually

    1:56

    want out of your next job or your first

    2:00

    job if you're a new graduate like what

    2:03

    does that look like for you spend some

    2:05

    time visualizing thinking about it

    2:06

    reflecting on what you've done in your

    2:08

    clinical so far and what has felt good

    2:11

    in clinicals usually that's a really

    2:13

    predictor of what you're going to enjoy

    2:16

    when you get into your first job so you

    2:20

    know self-assessment and self

    2:22

    observation is really a good place to

    2:24

    start of course you want to get your

    2:26

    documents in order so making sure that

    2:28

    your resume is up-to-date that you have

    2:31

    kind of like a working cover letter that

    2:32

    you can adapt and then start to figure

    2:36

    out what your community needs

    2:39

    so either the community that you're

    2:41

    living in or that you're moving to um

    2:43

    start getting a good feel about what the

    2:45

    job market is there so that you kind of

    2:48

    know what you're getting into job wise

    2:50

    and then you know they'll be kind of

    2:53

    this period where things happen kind of

    2:56

    at the same time so like your job search

    2:58

    kind of runs parallel to things like

    3:02

    studying for your finals graduating

    3:05

    taking your board exam applying for your

    3:07

    state license and all that happens kind

    3:10

    of at the same time and then once you

    3:12

    are licensed then you are kind of in the

    3:18

    more eligible to work category so um I

    3:22

    think that it's really helpful to kind

    3:24

    of like lay things out in a checklist

    3:25

    kind of format to make sure that you

    3:27

    know everything that needs to happen um

    3:31

    so yeah that's kind of a few steps that

    3:35

    you and I love that perspective because

    3:37

    I think that a lot of people I think

    3:39

    there's a lot of fear and a lot of

    3:42

    conversation about like what's going on

    3:45

    with oversaturation and like the virus

    3:48

    pandemic and all the stuff going on and

    3:49

    people kind of had this paradigm going

    3:51

    into it of like I'm just gonna take look

    3:53

    well I'm not gonna be able to find

    3:54

    anything and I'm gonna take what I can

    3:55

    get so I love that framing of like just

    3:57

    starting with yourself and thinking

    3:59

    about what exactly you want to do and we

    4:03

    talked about this a lot in terms of

    4:04

    thinking about the things we actually

    4:05

    want to do and they're being available

    4:09

    out there so I love that but yeah and

    4:12

    then so it sounds like you know starting

    4:13

    with that and then what so thinking

    4:16

    about boards so typically what is the

    4:19

    kind of like pathway going forward so

    4:20

    people will eventually get their

    4:22

    clinical hours they'll graduate they

    4:24

    take their boards what are kind of the

    4:25

    next steps kind of around

    Applying for your state license

    4:27

    yeah so the next steps would definitely

    4:29

    be to apply for your state license so

    4:33

    hopefully you already have the RN

    4:36

    license in the state that you plan to

    4:38

    work if you are relocating this is a

    4:40

    really important point if you plan to

    4:42

    work as an MP in another state you

    4:44

    should be as soon as possible as soon as

    4:46

    you know what state you're going to work

    4:48

    in you should be applying for your RN

    4:49

    license because usually that has to be

    4:51

    in place before you get your NP so after

    4:54

    you graduate and take your boards state

    4:57

    license is next and then once you have

    5:00

    those things you can apply for your NPI

    5:03

    number and your DEA and license and that

    5:07

    pretty much rounds out the things that

    5:10

    you're responsible for and then there's

    5:13

    a whole host of credentialing tasks that

    5:15

    will be done by your employer once you

    5:18

    have a job and so in general do you

    5:20

    personally and do you recommend that

    5:22

    people apply for their NPI and their DEA

    5:24

    before they apply for a job so they

    5:26

    already have that because I think

    5:27

    there's a question also of like police

    5:29

    when I first started they I was kind of

    5:31

    like walked through that situation and I

    5:34

    also had my DEA fees paid for by my job

    5:36

    so yeah what is your perspective on that

    5:38

    yeah I think it I think it depends I

    Job search

    5:41

    don't think that it hurts to start your

    5:44

    job search even before you graduate in

    5:47

    which case it's possible that you could

    5:49

    kind of land a conditional job and they

    5:52

    could be kind of footing the bill for

    5:54

    those things but I probably wouldn't

    5:58

    wait until after those things before

    6:00

    starting the job search because you know

    6:02

    best-case scenario like you said maybe

    6:04

    they will you know fund that for you and

    6:07

    then yeah I definitely think that the

    6:10

    job search should happen kind of

    6:12

    probably in advance of taking your

    6:16

    boards that doesn't mean that you'll

    6:17

    necessarily have a job because some

    6:20

    employers will want you to be pretty

    6:22

    much ready what for those positions that

    6:25

    don't necessarily need somebody right

    6:28

    away it may actually work in your favor

    6:30

    to be searching in advance because that

    6:33

    time line could line up that you know

    6:35

    you're credentialed on their end and

    6:38

    your credential you know your state

    6:40

    licensed

    6:40

    and then you can you can imagine go

    6:42

    totally and actually I want to back up

    6:44

    for a second because I think DEA and NPI

    6:46

    very familiar to us but might not be

    6:48

    familiar to new grads so NPI is that

    6:50

    national provider identification number

    6:51

    that we all have NPI you could google

    6:54

    mine but please don't and I said that

    7:00

    but yeah I don't think you can Google

    7:02

    but that's like they're gonna you can

    7:04

    see and so you need those if you're

    7:06

    going to be prescribing controlled

    7:06

    substances NPI numbers are just

    7:08

    insurance related basically um correct

    7:11

    me otherwise and then depending I think

    7:13

    on your state to you have to get a

    7:15

    controlled substance registration so in

    7:17

    Massachusetts there's an mcs are part

    7:21

    that goes along with I think the DEA I I

    7:23

    get a lot of help from my from my job to

    7:25

    tell me what to do what to apply for and

    7:27

    all that but um but yeah so those are

    7:29

    things that people could consider

    7:30

    consider doing beforehand but yeah that

    7:34

    brings up another question I think that

    7:36

    people had is that like how long what is

    7:38

    the typical timeline so I think that

    7:40

    some people have a question should I

    7:41

    even well I have a lot of questions so

    7:43

    maybe we'll break it down of like so it

    7:45

    sounds like we could apply before

    7:46

    graduating we could apply before boards

    7:49

    or you could Rachel after but you

    7:51

    typically recommend before boards

    7:52

    starting to think about yeah I think

    Credentialing

    7:55

    that that is pretty smart because even

    7:59

    before you have your state license there

    8:01

    are things that can go on in the

    8:02

    background that the employer can be

    8:04

    working on because the whole

    8:07

    credentialing process is very long so

    8:10

    even for me to put things in perspective

    8:12

    with my you know most recent job because

    8:15

    I relocated recently I'm already

    8:17

    licensed in this state I moved within a

    8:20

    state and it took four months for me to

    8:23

    get credentialed with the hospital with

    8:25

    all the different steps that they had to

    8:27

    do they to do the background check they

    8:28

    had to check the references they had to

    8:30

    verify my past employment for ten years

    8:32

    like all these different things that

    8:34

    they can do before you're officially

    8:37

    boarded and licensed so um you know

    8:41

    especially if you are wanting to work as

    8:44

    soon as possible I think that starting

    8:47

    your job search on the earlier site is

    8:49

    in your favor because best case scenario

    8:51

    you know you could get a job offer sign

    8:54

    it before

    8:54

    you graduate they're working on those

    8:57

    credentialing things that they do in the

    9:00

    background the employer you're working

    9:02

    on graduating and passing your boards

    9:04

    and getting your license and you know in

    9:07

    the best case scenario both of those

    9:09

    things would end at the same time and

    9:11

    then you could start shortly after

    9:12

    getting your license whereas if you wait

    9:17

    until after you get your license which

    9:18

    is fine if you're not in any big rush

    9:21

    you could be looking at a good like four

    9:24

    to six months before you're starting

    9:27

    depending on the setting that you're

    9:29

    working in yeah and I did I think I just

    9:31

    want to stress that point is that that's

    9:32

    pretty typical like I think I've heard

    9:35

    of travel and P jobs where they can

    9:37

    credential you in like a week or two or

    9:40

    something but typically and then what so

    9:43

    so first of all credentialing is a big

    9:45

    thing and it can take a couple months

    9:47

    two to three months typically is what I

    9:48

    found so I changed jobs in the last year

    9:50

    and that's typically for most people so

    9:53

    like the timeline is that kind of like

    9:54

    you apply it has to go through HR

    9:57

    there's interviews they have to have a

    9:59

    plan they have to have the budget like

    10:00

    that there's there's things involved

    10:01

    right so it's about it can be about

    10:03

    three months easily right and then the

    10:05

    credentialing part is involving

    10:06

    background checks like you said it also

    10:09

    can involve and correct me if I'm wrong

    10:12

    because I don't feel like I'm super

    10:13

    savvy with the credentialing stuff but

    10:14

    it typically has to do with every

    10:16

    insurance company that you can bill for

    10:18

    that you have to be approved by and they

    10:20

    work very hard in the background to do

    10:21

    that and I don't think that people

    10:22

    necessarily see that and I think that's

    10:25

    one of the I think this this this whole

    10:27

    topic is one of the ways that it's so

    10:28

    different as an NP versus as an RN

    10:30

    because you kind of can apply and get a

    10:33

    job a lot quicker typically so so yeah

    10:37

    so so the average timeline came you a

    10:39

    couple months it would be nice if it all

    10:40

    matched up and he applied now and but I

    10:42

    don't I think setting the expectation

    10:43

    I'd like typically that doesn't

    10:45

    necessarily happen at least for me I did

    10:47

    not I did I've never had that happen

    10:48

    where it's been smooth it like that but

    10:50

    um but yeah and so so credentialing at

    10:54

    the amount of time what are the things

    10:56

    that you and then karna virus yeah so

    10:57

    why don't we what do you what thoughts

    10:59

    do you have one of the questions that

    11:01

    kind of pointed question and I wrote

    11:02

    this person back by email but it's kind

    11:04

    of this feeling of like is it even

    11:06

    appropriate to reach out and because I

    11:07

    think it restricted

    11:08

    are just such empathetic kind people

    11:10

    right and so this nurse this graduating

    11:12

    nurse practitioner is thinking about is

    11:15

    it even appropriate to reach out to them

    11:16

    because they're scrambling dealing with

    11:18

    the coronavirus preparedness is it even

    11:20

    appropriate to reach out for them to

    11:21

    think about job prospects and like what

    11:23

    are your thoughts about that and what

    11:24

    are your thoughts about just like how

    11:26

    it's going to be right now

    11:28

    yeah so I think that it will it will

    11:31

    vary greatly depending on the setting so

    11:33

    the reality right now at least what I'm

    11:35

    seeing is the settings that are dealing

    11:39

    with kind of frontline Crona buyers

    11:41

    patients so like the hospitals for

    11:43

    example are scrambling and hiring like

    11:47

    crazy at least they are here in New York

    11:48

    City obviously we're in the middle of a

    11:50

    surge so that's happening really quickly

    11:54

    and they're focused kind of solely on

    11:57

    that effort I mean even around the

    11:59

    country the the kind of hubs that are

    12:03

    awaiting a surge are focusing really

    12:07

    just on the coronavirus efforts so if

    12:10

    that's the type of setting that you plan

    12:12

    to work in and you're not ready to work

    12:15

    right now it's probably wise to kind of

    12:16

    like take a step back and wait before

    12:18

    reaching out because there's likely not

    12:20

    the bandwidth someone doesn't have the

    12:23

    bandwidth to like consider you as an

    12:25

    applicant yet

    12:27

    now there's also what's happening on the

    12:30

    flip side is a lot of practices that

    12:32

    don't necessarily deal with kind of

    12:36

    frontline patients or have really low

    12:38

    senses because everybody is staying home

    12:40

    those practices are actually laying off

    12:42

    and peas which is is concerning yeah so

    12:47

    I think that there will be this period

    12:48

    of time hopefully like a month or two

    12:51

    not much more that they'll be this

    12:53

    perception of like a hiring freeze where

    12:56

    and Peas won't be getting new jobs

    13:00

    unless they're related to coronavirus

    13:02

    efforts but this can be kind of a

    13:05

    blessing in disguise like I think it'll

    13:07

    be more important now than ever to be

    13:09

    very intentional about your job search

    13:11

    to be kind of exploring and leveraging

    13:14

    any connections that you have like

    13:15

    reaching out to preceptors or practices

    13:18

    that you are familiar with or any

    13:19

    connections you have from your are

    13:21

    courier and really think about not only

    13:24

    what your community needs now but what

    13:27

    they'll need in the coming months and

    13:29

    years and how you can fill that need and

    13:32

    this is where like some of that

    13:33

    self-reflection comes in like if you

    13:35

    have a really unique skill set or a

    13:37

    really unique interest that you know

    13:39

    matches what your community will need

    13:40

    like you should explore positions that

    13:44

    will let you kind of cultivate that um

    13:48

    but here's the thing so like these

    13:50

    clinics and um practices are temporarily

    13:53

    shutting down but it's temporary so when

    13:56

    they come back up there's gonna be a

    13:57

    backlog of patients to see in Oregon

    14:00

    like all the people who have missed just

    14:04

    like I can't even wrap my head around I

    14:07

    can't even like just my own desktop at

    14:09

    work yeah that's crazy

    Hidden Job Market

    14:10

    but then they've laid off the providers

    14:12

    and those providers aren't going to have

    14:16

    any sort of guarantee to get their job

    14:17

    back necessarily or they may move on to

    14:21

    another position quickly because they

    14:23

    can't afford to be laid off so there may

    14:27

    end up being many vacancies either

    14:30

    because there's more demand like more

    14:32

    patients to be seen to catch up with

    14:34

    like basically a quarter of like three

    14:38

    months of people not doing their like

    14:40

    routine med techs and annuals and all

    14:43

    that

    14:50

    so so there there will be vacancies but

    14:55

    keep in mind they may not be posted jobs

    14:57

    so I talked a lot about exploring the

    14:59

    hidden job market which is essentially

    15:01

    like vacancies that exist but aren't

    15:03

    posted publicly you're not gonna find

    15:05

    them scrolling on indeed.com

    15:07

    right or to contact them or like talk

    15:10

    with a connection about what they need

    15:13

    like they're going to need you and they

    15:15

    may not know it yet yeah so it's a time

    15:18

    where you can really spend being

    15:20

    intentional about your job search and

    15:22

    really planning out the steps and kind

    15:24

    of reverse engineering that job search

    15:26

    so that you are kind of landing in the

    15:29

    right spot yeah absolutely

    Advice for New Nurse Practitioners

    15:32

    yeah and that kind of brings me to like

    15:34

    what

    15:34

    what like I guess like it that a big

    15:41

    question that I've seen and it really

    15:43

    breaks my heart is is people who have

    15:47

    been out of school for a very long time

    15:49

    six months a year what what advice do

    15:54

    you have for where those nurse

    15:55

    practitioner students are now nurse what

    15:58

    new nurse practitioners yeah so yeah I

    16:02

    see that a lot too and you know the

    16:05

    first thing is to I'm gonna say this

    16:09

    again but to like work on your mindset

    16:10

    and to you know examine what you are

    16:14

    expecting you know if you are kind of

    16:17

    putting this out into the world every

    16:18

    day like it's oversaturated I'm never

    16:21

    gonna find a job it's been six months

    16:23

    I'm never gonna find a job I'm never

    16:25

    gonna find it if you keep telling

    16:26

    yourself that narrative that your

    16:29

    beliefs are gonna become your actions

    16:30

    and are gonna become your reality yeah

    16:33

    so like that's the part that you really

    16:36

    have some control over is what you tell

    16:39

    yourself is going to happen so there's

    16:42

    some inner work involved that I

    16:44

    definitely recommend um and then you

    16:48

    know people who have been out of school

    16:49

    for a little bit that can be perceived

    16:51

    as a liability so when you're sending

    16:53

    your application somewhere and they see

    16:56

    that you graduated at this time and that

    16:58

    you're either still working as a nurse

    17:00

    or you're unemployed for six months a

    17:02

    year you know there's gonna be a

    17:04

    perception there from the person who's

    17:05

    reading that so that's why I actually I

    17:08

    I recommend trying to reverse engineer

    17:12

    that job search and identify where you

    17:15

    want to work and then contact them

    17:18

    directly or reach out by email rather

    17:21

    than just like sending a cold

    17:23

    application through and really working

    17:27

    on those connections and leveraging

    17:29

    those that you may have absolutely I

    17:31

    mean I definitely feel like when I was a

    17:33

    nurse when I was a staff nurse I just

    17:36

    feel like the job process was just so

    17:38

    different I mean there was like there

    17:39

    was a unit I worked in the hospital and

    17:41

    I was like there's a unit there was one

    17:42

    open position this was the salary you

    17:45

    know and like here's what we're looking

    17:46

    for this number experienced and I just

    17:48

    like the NP market is just so different

    17:50

    and I think like you can work in a

    17:52

    hospital based setting and it's very

    17:53

    similar right but there's so many other

    17:54

    opportunities about like private

    17:56

    practices or community health clinics

    17:58

    are different - that's where I work now

    18:00

    but yeah it's just it seems like it's

    18:02

    just a very different kind of process

    18:04

    and yeah I mean I've gotten a lot of

    18:06

    success through those kind of back

    18:08

    routes myself to be kind honest it's

    18:10

    really hard to it's really hard to just

    18:11

    straight up go on indeed and see all the

    18:14

    only things that are there you know yeah

    Safety Net

    18:15

    I also think that like for that NP for

    18:19

    that new MP who's been out of school for

    18:22

    a bit and hasn't landed a job like if

    18:24

    they're in a safe if they're in an RN

    18:27

    job like there's a safety net there that

    18:30

    like subconsciously could keep you from

    18:34

    getting your NP job you know there is a

    18:38

    whole other sense of urgency that can

    18:42

    come with being unemployed so I'm not

    18:47

    I'm definitely not saying like go quit

    18:49

    your nursery so that you and Pete job

    18:53

    but I think that sometimes that can play

    18:55

    a factor um and you know if you

    18:58

    otherwise told yourself okay this is

    19:01

    this is gonna be my deadline you know if

    19:05

    you if you tell yourself that narrative

    19:07

    instead like you can maybe falsely

    19:09

    create that sense of urgency but if

    19:12

    you're just like comfortable in the job

    19:14

    that you have and you're waiting for the

    19:16

    right thing to come ya know like it's

    19:19

    the NP job market is you know you don't

    19:23

    just wait for the right thing to come

    19:24

    along you have to be really it yeah you

    19:27

    have to like really go out and get it

    19:29

    and be intentional because like it's not

    19:31

    something that's just gonna you know pop

    19:34

    up yeah like like a nurse you know an RN

    19:37

    job at your hospital you know you're not

    19:39

    going to get like an email every week

    19:40

    and all of a sudden hear your dream

    19:43

    vacancy is gonna be there it's just it

    19:45

    just doesn't work that way whereas it

    19:47

    kind of works that way in nursing at

    19:49

    least definitely so I said to Amanda

    Interview Tips

    19:54

    when we were not on this call that I'm a

    19:55

    little nervous is my first interview so

    19:57

    I'm actually just gonna ask Amanda what

    20:00

    are the other things we were going to

    20:01

    talk about we were going to talk about

    20:07

    an interview tip yes specifically like

    20:12

    how interviews may be changing and yes

    20:15

    yes go for it

    20:16

    thank you so a couple different things

    20:20

    that I want people to know about because

    20:22

    some of them are new to me obviously

    20:25

    there's not gonna be any in person

    20:26

    interviewing right now and I think that

    20:29

    even in the coming months that whatever

    20:31

    is in place now is going to continue so

    20:34

    the things so I'm talking about virtual

    20:37

    interviewing so there are a few ways

    20:40

    though that that can happen I used to

    20:42

    think that a virtual interview could

    20:43

    only happen kind of like what we're

    20:45

    doing now like in real time face to face

    20:47

    yeah you know scheduled on my calendar

    20:50

    but so that is one option that's

    20:52

    happening but there's also this process

    20:55

    called a one-way interview also known as

    20:57

    an on-demand interview oh god that's not

    20:59

    certain I know in there um I've talked

    21:04

    to a few people like a few fellowship

    21:06

    programs and P fellowship programs are

    21:08

    doing this and it's basically a way to

    21:10

    kind of like massively into interview

    21:14

    more people than you would be able to do

    21:16

    face to face on a calendar so basically

    21:19

    how it would work is you'd receive an

    21:21

    email saying congratulations you've made

    21:23

    it to the first round of interviews

    21:25

    please click here to do your on-demand

    21:29

    or one-way interview and basically you

    21:31

    have to be ready to go once you click

    21:33

    the link and once you click the link

    21:35

    you're brought to this website and

    21:37

    basically one at a time you're presented

    21:40

    with interview questions there's like a

    21:43

    timer and you have a period of time to

    21:46

    prepare your answer usually like 30

    21:49

    seconds to one minute so basically they

    21:51

    show you the question and it doesn't

    21:53

    record yet and then it like

    21:55

    automatically starts after

    21:57

    that period of prep time and then you

    22:00

    have like three to five minutes or

    22:02

    whatever has been predetermined as the

    22:04

    time to video record your response Wow

    22:08

    have you seen this happen so far are you

    22:10

    just hearing about it or yeah so I

    22:12

    didn't do that

    22:12

    I haven't done it but like I've talked

    22:14

    to two or three people in the past week

    22:17

    who have recently um done it know the

    22:22

    pros are you can be like totally

    22:25

    prepared right like you could like right

    22:27

    now I'm talking to you on my macbook and

    22:30

    I've got the Notes app pulled up so that

    22:34

    I can reference my notes like I've got

    22:36

    an outline of what we were talking about

    22:37

    today so that I know that I'm not going

    22:39

    to miss anything important so you can do

    22:41

    the same thing with a video interview

    22:42

    whether it's live or whether it's

    22:44

    recorded you can have your Notes app

    22:46

    there you can have your resume pulled up

    22:48

    you could have the website for the you

    22:51

    know for the hospital or the clinic or

    22:52

    whatever because sometimes they always

    22:54

    manage to sneak in a question about like

    22:56

    their missions and value statements

    23:00

    prepared but the kind of negative thing

    23:04

    is that especially with a one-way

    23:06

    interview like you can't read the room

    23:08

    you can't pick up on social cues or

    23:11

    anything like that really helpful in an

    23:14

    interview you know like yeah it can give

    23:17

    you that vibe of how long should I be

    23:18

    talking like are they bored yet or is it

    23:24

    like a crowd that you feel like you want

    23:25

    to work with to write things like so

    23:27

    many people go in with this idea like I

    23:29

    just need a job I'll take anything and

    23:31

    it's like I just want to I just want to

    23:33

    take a stand for you if you're watching

    23:35

    this that you deserve a beautiful job

    23:37

    they'll be really well supported with

    23:39

    great mentoring and you don't have to

    23:42

    take whatever comes across but um anyway

    23:44

    I'll get off my soapbox about that but

    23:46

    um but yeah what other I there are so

    23:50

    many things that we can talk about are

    23:51

    there other things that we were going to

    23:52

    talk about I think I think they'll have

    23:54

    any questions that we were and I covered

    23:56

    but like how else amanda is a wealth of

    23:58

    Rhys wealth of information wonderful

    24:01

    resource for everything career related

    24:03

    tell us how else you can help my lovely

    24:07

    followers here yeah so

    Free Masterclass

    24:09

    I actually would like to invite

    24:11

    everybody invite you to a free

    24:15

    masterclass a live training that I'm

    24:17

    doing later this month on April 22nd I'm

    24:20

    gonna do to live times then and it's a

    24:23

    class with the title oversaturation is

    24:25

    not the problem three mistakes keeping

    24:27

    you from your dream and p job so it's

    24:30

    gonna be a continuation of this

    24:33

    discussion

    24:33

    totally like super passionate about the

    24:36

    fact that oversaturation is an excuse i

    24:41

    think that it's something that we hear

    24:44

    and you can get into the spiral of

    24:47

    telling yourself that that's the reality

    24:48

    and like i said before your beliefs

    24:50

    become your actions and your actions

    24:52

    become your reality and so I'm really

    24:55

    passionate about changing that because I

    24:57

    think that if you get into this mindset

    24:58

    you're gonna end up taking whatever job

    25:01

    you can get you're gonna get a bottom of

    25:03

    the barrel and P job you're gonna leave

    25:04

    within three to six months and you're

    25:06
