The stock market saw the largest downturn since 20

The stock market saw the largest downturn since 2008... This is a great way to scare graduates of the 00's into never investing or feeling confident in their financial future, but what does it mean?

Swipe through the slides for a basic explanation of what is going on in the stock market in response and to see whether these changes will impact YOU!

Spoiler: Unless you're investing with a short term goal in mind for you money, it will not hurt you at all.

Do you invest into the stock market or contribute to a retirement account like a 403b or 401k? Are you concerned about the economic instability we are experiencing right now?

So, we are officially experiencing a pandemic... P

So, we are officially experiencing a pandemic... Perhaps you have been told to work from home for a time, maybe you’re getting prepared for the inevitable.

Working from home is a huge lifestyle change for most, and you soon may find you’re facing some hurdles.

The most important thing to do is create structure for yourself. Establish where you will be working, whether it is at your desk or the kitchen table.

Write down your schedule, make note of meetings or calls you have that day, and your start and sign off times.

Make sure you have all of the equipment you need to effectively work, so you’re ready to go when you start your day.

Finally, be prepared when the inevitable happens. Whether it’s distraction and boredom or just the munchies, you may have trouble staying focused. Always keep in mind your priorities for the day, and don’t forget... A walk around the block never hurt anyone!

Hi there, I’m Jamie. 👋 I am a Certified Care

Hi there, I’m Jamie. 👋

I am a Certified Career Coach and I have been working to help women reach their professional goals for the past 3 years!

I help professional women who feel clueless, confused and overwhelmed identify a job path they are excited about and strategically approach job hunting.

I absolutely love the moment that everything clicks for my clients and they realize they don’t have to apply for ALL the jobs in order to get a job!

I use this page to share motivation, ACTIONABLE job hunting tips and just a bit about me 😉

I love to travel, the photo was taken in December on my first hot air balloon ride on my honeymoon in Australia!

Let me know what brought you to my page 😍

Woo! You did it. You got offered to come in and in

Woo! You did it. You got offered to come in and interview!
•
You’re on fire. You had them nodding along as you answered all of their answers perfectly.
•
But then...CRICKETS...
•
Did you make one of these three big mistakes that gave them a reason to choose another candidate?
•
1. You forgot to bring copies of your resume. Forgetting your resume could give your interviewer a negative first impression and set a bad tone for the rest of the interview.
2. You didn’t do your research, or forgot the research you did. Be sure you know at least one reason why you want to work for this company, specifically.
3. You were too eager to please. Be yourself. Trying to give the right answers could make you look desperate and could give the impression that you’re not confident or unique.

Have you made these mistakes when interviewing in the past?

Happy Marathon Monday! If you are a New York City

Happy Marathon Monday!

If you are a New York City based race-runner, this weekend is a holy weekend 😂

10s of thousands of runners took to the streets to run, 26.2 miles in the NYC Marathon

3 years ago, I took to the treats on a beautiful November day to run 26.2 miles and it was still one of the best days of my life!

I’m sharing this with you because there is a certain stubborn confidence that comes with signing up to train for and run a marathon.

Arguably, this is an unreasonable task to ask of our bodies. But people do it, time and time again.

This same type of confidence is needed to apply for jobs, negotiate salaries, network with people you don’t know (yet!) At the very least this confidence in your ability to do what may feel impossible in the moment, is necessary to take the first step! 🏃🏻‍♀️ So, today I challenge you to take the first step, to project the stubborn confidence of a first time marathoner to the world!

Share one thing you’re proud of accomplishing at work in the comments 👇👇👇 #nycmarathon #nycmarathon2019 #confidence #confidentwomen #strongwomen #careerwomen #womenwhorun #nycrunners #workingwomen

I have mixed feelings about this quote
*
As a recovering perfectionist, I certainly understand chasing perfection
*
However, where do you draw the line?
*
How do you feel successful if you know your goal is unattainable
*
What do you think? Do aim for perfection and find happiness within your imperfection?

Last week I started working with a new client

She found herself in what she thought was a unique situation

She had given notice at her job, lined up a new opportunity but was worrying she made the wrong choice... We talked about her options and her mindset about her decision and worked towards finding a way for her to make a decision she could feel confident in

She weighed her options, ask to stay, stick with the choice to leave and today was the last day of her 2 week notice

What do you think she decided to do?? Have you ever had second thoughts after giving notice?

Sometimes I wonder if I like stress • I live in

Sometimes I wonder if I like stress
•
I live in NYC - stress
•
I work a full time job while I build my #careercoaching business - stress
•
I frequently take on additional challenges, like training for marathons or trying to lift heavier things at #f45 - stress
•
But I recently realized, it’s not that I like stress, I just like to be challenged
•
I like to check boxes and I like to feel like I am accomplishing new things!
•
And sometimes, that is stressful! So, I’m trying something new
•
When I feel stressed or overwhelmed I’m going to remind myself that this is part of the journey and try to identify if there is a less stressful way to reach my goal
•
Can you relate to this feeling? Do you like setting goals? Do you prefer to stay in your comfort zone? No right or wrong answers!!

A few months ago I received an e-mail with the subject line “New York Times Article”
•
When I opened it there was a kind message asking for my thoughts on small talk in the work place for an article
•
I felt a lot of things, shocked, honored, scared, excited - “you want MY thoughts?”
•
I worried if I my thoughts on the topic were good enough or if I would say the “right things”, but I knew I had to do it
•
When I started this business, I had one goal, to help women become happier in their professions and feel more fulfilled by their lives
•
This opportunity would let me reach a wider audience, help more women navigate life at work, how could I say no?
•
Have you ever had an opportunity knock on your door? Have you ever felt afraid to take an opportunity? Did you take it? 👇👇👇

You might be thinking, this girl is crazy, it’s September
•
But, today is actually the Jewish New Year celebration, Rosh Hashanah.
•
I want to invite you to join me in celebrating today as a fresh start
•
A chance to evaluate your year and decide how you want to close out the rest of 2019, or start the Hebrew year 5780 😉
•
My plan includes continuing to find me voice here on Instagram, to help more women reach their goals and to find more excitement than stress in life as each day gets closer to my wedding!
•
What are you going to do with your fresh start? Shana Tova, if you’re celebrating!

7 years ago, after being a life long #premed, I let go of the dream
•
I let go for a million reasons, but that’s a story for another time! Dm me if you want it NOW...
•
The hardest part of letting go of the #premedlife was that I actually was letting go of my identity
•
I wasn’t Jamie, a 20-something studying biology. I was Jamie, the Pre-med
•
So I had to find out who the f I was AND what I was going to do with my life
•
For the first time in my life I realized I needed to fill my life with lots of things that made me happy, professional goals AND personal goals, I needed a life I could ENJOY!
•
Years later I have challenged myself physically and emotionally and finally have started to find my #happyplace
•
What’s your happy place? Have you ever realized your identity was wrapped up in a goal you no longer wanted to achieve?

Hi! It’s been a while 👋
•
I have been busy helping women reach their professional goals, getting quoted in the The New York Times, wedding planning and #f45 -ing my butt off!
•
@nytimes #linkinprofile

Anyone else ever been there? Busy and overwhelmed to the point that something just had to give? 🤷‍♀️
•
Good news is that I’m back, ready to give you the advice you need to get the job you have been hoping for!

Do you know that feeling, that moment, that time i

Do you know that feeling, that moment, that time in your life where you have confronted the unsolvable problem?
•
Maybe you say you are between a rock in a hard place
•
Maybe it’s a lose lose situation
•
Maybe you just feel doomed, panicked, TRAPPED
•
I know you know that feeling and I also know that you (like me) can laugh at our past problems which trapped us, where there was no way out but to LOSE
•
And we can laugh because we made it we are on the other side, you made a choice, and now the problem seems small (or smaller) than it did at the time
•
I find it really helpful in these moments to act as though the problem belongs to someone else, and give that person advice
•
We often get clouded by fear when trying to make a decision for ourselves. Coming from an outside perspective can help reduce that fear
•
What is your current unsolvable problem? 👇👇👇

Interview question of the week • Why are you loo

Interview question of the week
•
Why are you looking for a new job/why are you leaving your job?
•
This is an EASY one!
•
But it seems to trip so many people up
•
While it may feel like you are leaving your job before your current one sucks...
•
Your current job sucks for a reason and that reason is likely tied to the fact that you are being held back
•
Whether it’s by a crappy/rude/mean boss or because you have maxed out in what you want to accomplish at your current company
•
It’s all about GROWTH!
•
So, next time you’re asked why you’re looking for a new opportunity...
•
Be sure to mention you’re looking for a new job that gives you the opportunity to use your past experience to contribute in a meaningful way to their department but also one that allows you to grow as a professional
•
Throw in your desire to be at a new company for the long term and you can be SURE you aced that question!
•
What interview question should I answer for you next week?

Not THAT F-word... • Sorry, you probably saw tha

Not THAT F-word...
•
Sorry, you probably saw that coming 😂🤦‍♀️😂
•
I want to talk about getting fired, becoming unemployed, being let go, between jobs
•
Maybe you want to call it parting ways or coming to an agreement that things were not working out
•
Either way, it’s the same outcome, you are without work, and WORST OF ALL, you have to tell people that this has happened
•
What will they think?
•
Will they think I’m incompetent? Am I unhirable?
•
When really, all they will be thinking is, “wow that sucks, hope you find something soon”
•
EVEN the recruiter will be easily able to pass that over...if YOU’RE ABLE TO
•
I can go on an on about how getting fired actually makes you a BETTER employee in the future - dm me @thejamieterran -
•
But here is what you NEED to know and do, should you find yourself between employment
•
You were not fired because you’re a bad person or because you’re unintelligent
•
You were fired because you were in the wrong job for you right now
•
You may have even messed up, made a mistake or otherwise “deserved” to be let go, but unfortunately this is the hazard to being human
•
Nearly everyone will be let go, downsized, fired or otherwise find themselves unemployed.
•
Remind yourself that when you go on your next interview, stay positive and optimistic about the future
•
Because your past is NOT your future, unless you let it be

Tell me about your job
•
What do you do every day? What projects are you working on?
•
What do people come to you for when they need help?
•
Where could you grow? What experience would make you an even better employee?
•
Was that SO bad?
•
You’re probably nodding your head, because women are conditioned to not brag or talk about themselves.
•
But now is the time, whether you’re mid job hunt or happy with where you are
