Hello Everyone and Happy Tuesday! Did you know today is National Hot Fudge Sunday Day? No? Well now you do. We can’t think of a better excuse to eat some ice cream today, but we would probably eat ice cream today even if it wasn’t a holiday! Enjoy! 🍨

In today's email:

  • Don’t ruin your executive presence. Leaders need to know this!

  • Have you asked your boss this question? No? You should.

  • “I’m just following up…” Yeahhh, maybe don’t say that.

  • Would You Rather? And yesterday’s Two Truths & A Lie

  • Gen Z job search. Let’s crush a common myth.

Here’s what’s going on in the news (related to careers of course):

  • Biogen is going to lay off 1,000 people.

  • UPS and the Teamsters avoided a strike.

  • Elon Musk’s decision to rebrand Twitter could have legal complications.

Your executive presence is your reputation.

If you are in any type of leadership role, then you have an executive presence. So it’s important you are actively paying attention and maintaining your executive presence. If done correctly, it can help to build trust, credibility, and a following.

Before you can jump right into your strategy to build your executive presence, you need to understand what it is.

Sending a thank-you note after a job interview is common best practice, but also important. It shows you are grateful for the opportunity to interview with the company and helps you stand out to the recruiter. But what happens when you don’t hear anything back from them? Recruiters are busy people, so a week after your interview you should send a follow up email. Here’s what you need to know. (PS - you don’t want to lead with “I’m just following up”.)

Myth: Just because you don’t have the experience doesn’t mean you can’t apply for the job!

Gen Z seems to be facing a difficult time in the job search world. Companies are requiring two plus years of experience for entry level jobs. They should have no problem getting these jobs, but the “years of experience requirement” is holding them back from applying.

This idea that you need years of experience as a new grad applying for an entry level job is a MYTH!
