Customer Success Career Coach, Career Tips and Proven Job Interview Strategies For Every Customer Success Manager

Ever been told to just “wait until after the holidays” before you get serious about your job search? That advice drives me up the wall, and in this episode, I’m breaking down why October is actually the secret launchpad for your next Customer Success job. While everyone else is slowing down, I’ll show you how to get ahead with the same three-part strategy my clients use to land offers while the competition is snoozing.

I’ll walk you through what makes Q4 a shockingly good time to get hired, how to audit your job search so you’re not wasting hours on things that don’t matter, and the real ways to build a network that opens doors fast. Plus, I’ll teach you how to sharpen your interview skills now, so when the opportunities come (and they will), you’re ready to crush them.
