In this episode, Lisa and Amanda discuss:A holistic admissions review that looks beyond grades and test scoresWriting authentic, personal essays that reflect a student's true identityStrategically crafting supplemental essays to show university fit and motivationPreparing for campus visits to gather insights for stronger applicationsKey Takeaways: Application readers carefully evaluate every part of a submission, typically spending 5 to 30 minutes depending on the depth, creativity, and authenticity demonstrated.Essays generated by AI are often easily recognized by admissions professionals; they tend to be generic and impersonal, lacking the student's genuine voice and lived experience.Strong supplemental essays require in-depth research into a university's distinctive programs, faculty, and opportunities—showing a thoughtful and specific connection beyond surface-level familiarity.Capturing impressions immediately after a campus visit—including personal reflections, standout moments, and detailed program insights—provides rich, authentic content for compelling “Why Us?” essays. “Have fun with [the college essays].

How to Find Career Clarity When You're Feeling StuckAs a career coach, I often work with professionals who, despite having decades of experience, find themselves uncertain about their career direction. They've climbed the corporate ladder, led teams, and made significant contributions to their organizations—but now, they feel stuck. Many of them come to me not because they lack experience or skills, but because they no longer know what they want to achieve next. This is an increasingly common challenge among experienced corporate professionals, and I believe it's crucial to address this issue with a structured, thoughtful approach.Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:00:00 Introduction: Feeling Lost in Your Career01:24 Grounded Theory: A Powerful Tool for Career Progression02:07 Upcoming Guest Episodes and Personal Updates06:06 The Importance of White Space in Your Schedule10:36 Applying Grounded Research to Your Career12:58 Collecting and Coding Career Data19:14 Identifying Patterns and Building Career Purpose24:45 Continuous Career Development and Final Thoughts32:38 Conclusion and Call to ActionLinks mentioned in this episode:Episode 257 - How to Know If You Need Career Coaching or Career Counseling?About the host, Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of The Job Hunting Podcast.

Timestamps: 3:00 - Are education and entrepreneurship connected?  13:41 - Switzerland needs growth stage funds 26:20 - Failure culture in Switzerland 33:52 - Female entrepreneurship in Switzerland 41:30 - Where is the Swiss startup ecosystem headed? This episode was co-produced with the Female Founders Initiative. About Regula Buob: Regula Buob is the founder of SoftTec, a consultancy that offers services related to both technical and soft skills. She is also a coach for early stage startups and scale-ups. Regula holds a master's degree in Special Education and another one in Career Counseling. She founded SoftTec in 2009.  Regula went into the education field because it was a way to convince her somewhat conservative father to allow her to study at university — in this field, she could reliably make money. Her background in education is what sets her apart as a startup coach. During her chat with our co-host Merle, Regula discussed why Switzerland supports its startups well in terms of education but not in terms of funding, why she thinks we should invest 1-2% of Switzerland's pension fund into Swiss startups, and why there is an urgent need to change the Swiss “failure culture”.   ‍The cover portrait was edited by⁠ ⁠⁠⁠www.smartportrait.io⁠⁠⁠⁠. ‍ Don't forget to give us a follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

  Interviewer: Lisa Meeks Interviewees John Ruddell Jennifer Ruddell Roja (friend of Jack Ruddell) Dr. Stuart Slavin Dr. Christine Moutier Dr. Srijan Sen  Dr. David Muller  Dr. Justin Bullock Dr. Jessi Gold   Narrator Dr. Joseph Murray    Transcript   Keywords: Mental health, Medical training, Stress, Well-being, Jack Ruddell, Depression, Suicidality, Financial counseling, Career counseling, Transferable skills, Medical errors, Medical culture,  Opt-Out, Trust, Vulnerability, Open Discussions, Sharing Stories    Description In this episode, we address the urgent issue of suicidality in medical training, reflecting on the personal and systemic challenges that contribute to this crisis. Building on episodes 102, 103, and 104, we continue to explore the deep impact of these challenges.  We begin by examining the need to address both individual and systemic factors, emphasizing the importance of cultural shifts within medical environments and advocating for meaningful systems change. As the episode concludes, our experts highlight actionable steps medical schools can take to better support mental health, including fostering open dialogue, ensuring accessible resources, and creating a culture of vulnerability. In memory of Dr. Jack Rudell, we close with a piece of his music—a poignant reminder of the personal nature of this issue and the critical need to keep every trainee's light shining. Description of Series  DWDI Special Series: Suicidality in Medical Training dives into the critical conversations around mental health, well-being, support systems, and the intense pressures faced during medical training. Through the power of storytelling, the series intertwines these broader themes with the deeply personal story of Dr. Jack Ruddell, a promising medical student who tragically died by suicide. Jack's journey—his strengths, struggles, and the complexities leading to his untimely death—forms the emotional core of this five-part series, giving voice to the loved ones often excluded from these conversations. Alongside Jack's story, the series incorporates expert insights and data from the literature, offering a human perspective on burnout, depression, and suicide among medical trainees. With a commitment to improving mental health awareness and reducing the stigma around seeking help, the series presents a novel approach by centering personal narratives alongside expert analysis. It also explores actionable strategies for improving medical training environments and highlights the importance of institutional responses after a loss by suicide. Our mission is to reduce shame, encourage help-seeking among medical students struggling with depression, and ensure that every medical school is aware of the postvention resources offered by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

Since the pandemic, corporate professionals across the globe have been reassessing their career goals, purpose, and interests. Many are no longer content with simply climbing the corporate ladder; instead, they are seeking roles that align with their values, provide fulfillment, and offer flexibility. In both the US and Australia, professionals are changing industries, pursuing career pivots, and prioritizing work-life balance more than ever before.A recent survey by McKinsey revealed that over 40% of employees are considering leaving their jobs in search of better opportunities that reflect their new priorities. Similarly, research from PwC Australia shows that a significant number of professionals—especially those in their 40s and 50s—are actively seeking career changes, with many citing the pandemic as a catalyst for reevaluating what matters most to them.As a career coach, I work with corporate professionals who are not only looking for job advancement but are also asking deeper questions about what they truly want out of their careers. In this article, I'll explore the most pressing concerns job seekers face today and share insights I've gained from working with professionals navigating these transitions.Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:01:45 Understanding Career Counseling and Coaching02:34 Personal Reflections and Goal Setting07:40 Career Coaching Explained10:55 Career Counseling Deep Dive19:47 Combining Career Counseling and Coaching27:12 Final Thoughts and EncouragementLinks mentioned in this episode:Episode 254 - Unlocking Career Success: Expert Answers to Your Top Job Search QuestionsAbout the host, Renata BernardeHello, I'm Renata Bernarde, the Host of The Job Hunting Podcast.

Her specialized skills include Career Counseling, Coaching and Consulting, Resume Writing, Interview Prep, Training and Leadership Development, Marketing, Recruiting, Nonprofit Organizations, Group Dynamics, Workshop Development and Programming and Volunteer Management. We talk about how to navigate your career moves during transitional points in your life and how using a career coach can help you feel more prepared and confident in your career decisions. We also discuss the idea of pivoting in your career and not having to be one thing your whole life, and why listening to what others say you're good at can help you decide what your next career move may be.

While career changes are possible later in life, our first choice defines much of our career so it's important to make careful decisions. But when multipotentiality comes into play, there could be many solid options. Throw in something like perfectionism, and it can bring the process to a halt. Dr. Jon Goodwin from UC Santa Barbara joins Emily to talk about multipotentiality, and when there's more than one right answer.
