Gen Z is facing a dire labor market-and it's forced young professionals on the job hunt to stealthily promote their resumes with boxes of donuts, or to take up waitressing gigs at conferences just to get a foot in the door. But Suzy Welch, professor of management practice at New York University, believes the key to success is a lot simpler than that.

Happy Birthday: Take control and make things happen this year. If you crave change or greater security, it's up to you to put a plan on the table and promote what you want to pursue. Waiting for things to come to you will lead to disappointment, but hustling, networking and marketing your ideas, skills and perspective on how things unfold will connect you with people who can help you bring your dreams to life. Your numbers are 8, 13, 17, 24, 31, 38, 42.

Just think about it: you've got a shared interest, so there's no risk of small talk. You know you're going to see them again, but in a neutral environment. There will be other people there, so you can easily find someone else to talk to if the conversation runs cold, and if it all goes belly up you've got an easy way out you can just stop going to meet-ups and never have to see them again.

But here's the twist. While a predictable formula might ruin a good show, it's really the secret weapon for lawyers looking to grow their books of business. At the heart of every successful rainmaker is a formula, something they created, borrowed, or straight-up stole. For me, it started with wasting an absurd amount of time networking. I had no direction and no results, so I had to develop a formula out of pure necessity to reclaim my time and drive real business.

He advised candidates to use their résumés to highlight the impact and results of past work. As a former interviewer, Anderson said he would often scan résumés looking for an "icebreaker" to spark conversation at the start of an interview. For that reason, applicants should view their résumés as a way to "control all of the different variables" an interviewer might draw on. In terms of length, he recommended keeping it to one page per decade of experience.

My first piece of advice here is simple. You say people gloss over when you mention your day job, so don't mention it! Especially not early on in your conversation. You say you have loads of creative endeavours, so lead with them and make them the first impression of you. Passion is infectious, and if your creative work is where your passion lies; don't give the people you're chatting to any excuse not to hear about it.

"I'm going to get my MBA." I replied, "I think that's a great move for your career." "Actually, Chris, I'm just trying to find a husband." I nearly choked on my coffee. My friend-talented, smart, and undeniably practical-had just revealed that her next dating strategy involved tens of thousands of dollars in tuition and two years of coursework. Not exactly your passive swipe-right approach.

Your network is your net worth. Heard that before? I've said it for years because I've lived it. The right connection can change your life. The right introduction can change your business. The problem is that most people think networking means working the room, shaking 50 hands and walking out with a stack of business cards. I used to think that too - until I realized the most valuable connections happen one-on-one.

National Harbor serves as an eerie counterpoint to the reality of D.C., presenting a walkable village amidst a city under siege, both acting as illusions.

If your inbox is full of conversations that go nowhere, you're building rapport for too long before you sell. The pain of staying polite is losing the sale to someone bolder, faster, and clearer.

One conversation could change your life, and you just never know when it's going to happen. In business, real breakthroughs rarely come from a spreadsheet or strategy deck. They come from a sentence, a story, a conversation that shifts your perspective and opens a door you didn't know existed.

Even if you're happy with your current employer, you may be looking to climb the ladder, broaden your experience, or find a role in a new city.

Around 2022, I started noticing a major shift in LinkedIn. Thought-provoking content was being replaced with shallow business ideas. There was a rise of generic advice, more ads started creeping into my feed, and people would connect with you but refuse to follow-up or respond to DMs.

I realized I didn't really know anybody. I'd moved around so much by then, and the longest I'd ever stayed in one place was two or three months.

When I started my coaching practice, I wanted to share my experience and help others avoid the same mistakes I made as an entrepreneur. I quickly realized that my ideal clients are the ones who genuinely value my expertise and can apply what they've learned in their day-to-day business. Tapping into my deep knowledge of the travel industry has helped me attract clients who are the right fit.

When you're thinking about how you want to rebrand yourself, it's not just about your aesthetic or your job title - it's about realigning your public image with who you are becoming professionally and personally.
