Your Latina Career Coach

I have bittersweet news: I am (lovingly) closing down my podcast and business! "Lovingly" - because I have LOVED working on this project, serving my career coaching clients, and meeting my listeners and followers over the last 3+ years! I am PROUD of this body of work and it will continue to exist on the internet to help more people in the future. In this final episode, I explain the rationale behind this personal decision and how I made it. I talk about how my core values have changed, the key questions I asked myself when I made this decision, the "warning signs" that helped me understand that it was time for a change, and why I am ready to divest myself from grind & hustle culture. Thank you for being a part of this journey! Xo, Priscilla  -- Connect with me on LinkedIn Email me: [email protected]

Are You Afraid to Ask for More Money? You are not alone.  I chat with negotiation coach Joan Moon to explore why this fear is so widespread. We delve into how gender bias and societal expectations can make advocating for our financial worth feel uncomfortable. The conversation goes further, examining the intersection of gender and race. Women of color, in particular, face unique challenges in salary negotiations due to stereotypes and cultural barriers. The episode highlights the need to update societal norms and acknowledges the challenges women face. But it's not all doom and gloom!  We aim to empower you to confidently negotiate for your worth without the fear of being perceived negatively. So listen in and learn how to ask for what you deserve!

Not only is the resume a tedious exercise, but it's not the magic bullet that people want you to believe it is.  You just need to get your resume to "good enough" status....good enough to make it past the ATS (online application portal), good enough to make it past a recruiter, and ultimately, good enough to land you an interview.  In this episode, I'll guide you through a specific process to help you transform your resume in 3-5 hours.  Even better, I've got a free resource for you - the FREE RESUME BUNDLE that makes all of this even easier and faster.

Have you thought about outsourcing your resume to have someone else write it? Is your resume longer than one page? Does your resume have way too little information about you? If your answer was yes to any of these questions, then you're making at least one of the Top 10 Worst Resume Mistakes that disqualify you from jobs.
