Colleen Pelly, Founder of Linchpin: Crafting the Perfect Resume, Nailing Interviews & Switching Careers, Salary Negotiations & More

On today’s episode I am speaking with Colleen Pelly, Founder of The Linchpin Co, to dive deep into the world of career transitions, resume building, and job interviews. Colleen shares her expert insights on crafting the perfect resume—why length isn’t your friend, the power of metrics, and how to highlight your key achievements. She also breaks down the elusive cover letter, offering practical advice on what to include if one is required, and why employers want to know why you’re drawn to their company.

From interview tips to salary negotiations, Colleen reveals what companies are really looking for in candidates and the biggest mistakes job seekers make when navigating the hiring process. She also discusses how to leverage your network, the challenges of switching industries, and how to successfully make a career change, even when you're starting fresh in a new country. Whether you're just graduating or seeking to make a bold career move, Colleen's advice will help you land your dream job.
