The Fairy Job Mom

Ending the week with gratitude. ????♂? This client landed his role last week, and I could not be more thrilled with his assessment of how I was able to help him get there. The market is tough - but YOU are tougher !!!! An outside, experienced perspective can work wonders. Thank you Chris, and CONGRATS!!! ?? #careercoaching #demandgeneration #resumeservices #marketing #gethired

“Keep my name out of your mouth…” Sorry, can’t do that. I’ll never stop sharing people’s names with others. There are many times each week for us to connect people in our network to opportunities. Whether it be: ? People in the same field to network with each other ? A job seeker to an opportunity ? A potential buyer to a product or service or fellow entrepreneur All of these are valuable connections that have the potential to dramatically impact lives. Every time I refer someone to another, it costs me $0. Literally nothing. But the effort does not go unnoticed. I call it relationship currency. It’s a deposit into the bank account of my relationship with that person. And the higher that balance raises, the higher the trust, the stronger the connection, and the higher the likelihood that that person will think of me in the future. The successful connections of others are how The Fairy Job Mom name came to be and it’s a practice that I embrace daily… So I challenge you: Get together your roster of the best of the best! Who do you know and trust to refer others to? Keep that list handy so that next time someone asks you “do you know anyone???” your answer will be yes! Or, if you aren’t the right fit for an opportunity, you can direct the person to someone you know who might just be the perfect person for them. We rise by lifting others - and frankly, it sure feels good to spark someone else’s success! On that note: Who should people follow here on LinkedIn for content that you find valuable?? Tag them in the comments!

A friendly reminder that if you know a jobseeker, it takes 10 seconds to share an opportunity. And that opportunity could very well be their next role! Thus, I’m always on the lookout for opportunities to connect my The Fairy Job Mom clients to, whether it’s: ??Tagging them in a post ??Sending them job listings or if at all possible, ??Making a personal introduction This is literally how I got my name! ?? But imagine my surprise when I recently shared an opportunity with a former client and they wrote back with the following: “Hey! Thank you for the tag. That sounds like an amazing opportunity. Remember right after we worked on my résumé you saw a post about a XYZ and they were looking for a ZYX? (***titles changed for privacy) I got that job! I started last week and I'm so happy.” Well dang! Talk about ROI! Connecting people to opportunities is a small gesture that can have a massive impact…so: ??Tag a jobseeker in the comments - or if you’re a jobseeker let us know what you’re looking for! #gethired #hiring #resume #success ————- Hey, I’m Alexis, The Fairy Job Mom for jobseekers.??

Story time Sunday - why mission driven work is life changing and how…. Being laid off is a very traumatic experience. I was laid off in March 2020 at the very beginning of Covid and I decided to document my unemployment journey on LinkedIn - I just knew it would lead me to my next role. Through this journey, I connected with the founders of Aspireship and fell in love with their mission of training and connecting non-traditional candidates to roles in B2B software sales (SaaS). It combined my two most favorite things: helping people get hired - and sales. When I saw they were hiring I raised my hand and due to my own sales background they asked me to build their employer partnerships program. Aka: build relationships and get companies to want to hire these amazing candidates who come from non-traditional backgrounds. Every day I reminded myself: ??If I don’t do my job, these people can’t get hired. And let me tell you, there’s no bigger motivation than working towards a goal or cause you feel passionately about. That passion showed. I built their partnerships program to over 150+ company partners, but through this process, I also built my own career in the B2B SaaS community, with company founders and sales leaders now knowing my name. I learned a TON about: ??Recruiting ??B2B sales ??SaaS ??Startups ??Sales Enablement and Training And ultimately this knowledge and my connections are how I got the name The Fairy Job Mom ??from some folks here on LinkedIn! Doing work that you absolutely love AND that makes a difference in the lives of others is a gift. One that I’m infinitely grateful for. Have you ever had a mission driven role? Did you feel more pressure to succeed because you knew others lives depended on you?

Filming Job Hunt New York today as The Fairy Job Mom with my most favorite Emmy Award Winning host Kerry Barrett! This will be my third segment with the Job Hunt “franchise”… twice for NY, once for New Mexico.

I just had a really interesting call with a potential The Fairy Job Mom client today and the person said "I know this isn't therapy but..." and this is the second person to say this to me in 2 days, so I want to address it: 1?? Your career journey can be emotional. We are all humans and have feelings. The most common in a job search: Stress, frustration, sadness, rejection, anxiety, exhaustion, etc. The next level of emotion comes from the impact that your search has on your family. Especially if you are the primary breadwinner. So multiply all of those emotions x2. And x3 if you add in supporting an entire family. 2?? If you are going to work with someone in a coaching capacity (The Compass Program is this in particular)... I would highly advise you to only work with someone you trust to let your guard down. While I am not a therapist, I also have been around the block a few times as it pertains to my own career and have been an entrepreneur for the last 2 years. I am also a great listener, and will be clear, kind, and honest with you about realistic expectations. 3?? One size doesn't fit all. I know that some career coaches, resume writers, are very programmatic and formula based and while I have best practices that I adhere to - I tailor all of my recommendations for where my clients are and where they want to go. Anyway - my consults have been booking up recently which is a sign to me that many folks are looking for movement and change in their careers and lives. If you need help, you know where to find me. (And you can always look at my recommendations here on LinkedIn, as well as my Trustpilot reviews ??????????) Anyway, happy hump day - this morning has been so busy that I am late posting... but that is a GOOD thing! #jobseekers #executives #careercoaching #sales #marketing

If you’ve been seeking happiness and fulfillment yet feeling it missing from life, you aren’t alone. Yesterday I received a message from a LinkedIn connection who I’ve known for years asking me if I was happy. In those words. These are things I think we all seek: → health → wealth → happiness?? I was a little surprised by the question but it isn’t my first rodeo in my own happiness quest. So here’s the scoop on happiness and how to feel it: →Happiness is not a destination. You don’t find happiness and just stay happy forever because you felt it one day. Life happens, and finding joy in it (and in the little blessings) is a skill and a pleasure. → There are multiple “lanes” in life. It’s ok to not feel “happy” in all. There will be times when work is going amazing but you’re stressed about your family. Or your marriage/relationship is happy as can be but your work life is terrible. But the ultimate goal: all lanes are flowing happily. → Letting others control your happiness is a path to destruction. I’ve been guilty of this in the past… basing my happiness on others’ treatment of me, others’ commentary, others’ opinions. When I did that, I was in fact, the least happy. So, am I happy now? Overall, yes, I am happy. But the one piece of the puzzle that I am infinitely grateful for and that brings me happiness daily are the relationships that I have cultivated and people who I love in my life. Without them - I don’t think I could say yes. ?Are you in the pursuit of happiness? ?Is there a goal that you’re working towards that will bring a piece of the happiness puzzle to you? __________ ***If you need help identifying what you’d like to pursue career wise, I just added a new The Fairy Job Mom program called The Compass Program - designed to get you pointed in the right direction for your career journey. ??Check out the site for more info.

The BEST message to receive on a Friday afternoon!!!!! ?????????????????? I was so excited when I opened the email that I gasped and choked.???? This right here is why The Fairy Job Mom exists. This person is increasing their base by $30k, their bonus by $5k, and gets to work from home in an industry they’re passionate about. I. Love. My. Job. ?? And I love my clients… so so so happy!!! (All of this while watching my little cousin win the Ohio State Soccer Championship game… I mean really. 20/10 celebration level today! ????) #hired #gethired #sales #marketing #techjobs

Some people think the hidden job market is BS. But I literally just found it - and am gonna tell you where. And no this isn’t “clickbait”. I’m being serious. If you are a senior level professional or executive looking to work at a VC backed company: Whispered is your source for all of the senior level and exec jobs that companies aren’t going to post here on LinkedIn or on a public job board. These companies are looking for a trusted candidate referral, and Whispered’s founders have a direct hotline to them… I was skeptical. And then I saw the confidential job board. I could not believe the caliber of companies and roles. 20/10. I think most of you all know me by now - I am not a BSer when it comes to the reality of job search and the value of resources. Whispered is legit - visit their site and poke around. There’s a ton of resources and content for you in addition to the private Whispered roles… FYI the learning resources and job search content are 100% open access. Anyway - I have not seen anything like this to date and the data and jobs you’re given access to are incredible. So, sharing for my network and community. No gatekeeping here - there is nothing more that I love than connecting top talent with top opportunity. And if you decide to join, make sure to tell them I sent you! ???? Today marks a new step forward in many ways… maybe it’s yours towards a new role. Repost if you think your network will find this helpful! ???? #vc #hiring #executives #confidential #jobsearch
