The podcast with Expert Insights for Navigating the Modern Job Market.
Hi, my name is Renata Bernarde. In 2018, I left my job to help others get their careers on track. My love for coaching started at a very young age. Over time, I realized that many professionals don’t know how recruitment & selection work, which negatively impacts their career progression.
Today I host The Job Hunting Podcast and I also have a series of career services for corporate professionals. My signature coaching program is called Job Hunting Made Simple, a roadmap teaching professionals the steps and framework to make career advancement simpler and less stressful.

The people deciding your next role form an opinion about you before you ever apply. This conversation shows you how to shape it.
My guest is Vanessa Errecarte: marketing lecturer at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management, consultant, and author of Valuable and Visible. She created one of the only for-credit MBA courses in personal branding in the United States, and she has a message for every senior professional who was taught that great work speaks for itself: the market stopped listening to silent excellence.
We talk about why decades of strong work can disappear from view after a redundancy, how recruiters and hiring managers now discover senior candidates before a resume is ever read, and what separates real authority from empty visibility on LinkedIn. Vanessa explains why the advice to simply post more backfires, and why helping people publicly beats talking about yourself.
You will also hear the practical layer: her formula for introducing yourself so people remember you, the difference between an influencer’s job and yours, what AI can and cannot do for your thinking, and a minimum viable personal brand that takes 1 to 3 hours a week, starting with one LinkedIn post.
In this episode, career coach Renata Bernarde and UC Davis marketing lecturer Vanessa Errecarte argue that personal branding is about creating value for others rather than promoting yourself: senior professionals get remembered, referred, and recruited when they publicly help their audience solve problems, because visibility without earned trust produces no career results.
Your one thing this week: write one LinkedIn post using Vanessa’s formula. Open with a short personal story, connect it to why it matters, then teach a framework of three to five steps your peers can use.
As I say at the close of this episode, your expertise can be recognized, remembered and recommended through a little bit of work on your part. Subscribe so next week’s episode finds you.

We have a finite number of times around the sun my friend-make it intentional and make it authentic. This podcast is about giving you the secret sauce you need to live your best life. I will also have some of the leading thinkers, girl bosses, and world changers as my guests. Let’s do this.
What if three simple pieces of advice had the power to completely change the direction of your life? Today, I'm sharing three that changed mine-I hope they change yours for the better too.
WELCOME TO “A TO Z JOBS”
The podcast that helps you figure out the fastest way into a career—no nonsense, no corporate jargon, just real talk.
Each episode, we chat with people who’ve been there, done that, and know the shortcuts. What’s the job really like? How do you get started? And is it actually worth it?
If you’ve ever thought, “That sounds cool, but how do I even start?”—you’re in the right place. Let’s dive in.
“My primary school teachers told me no one’s going to pay you to look out a window. Well, joke’s on you…” 🛫
Think you just need to know how to fly a plane? Think again. If you can’t communicate clearly in the cockpit, you stay on the ground.
In this episode of the A-Z Jobs Podcast, we sit down with Andre, a Hong Kong-based airline pilot, to talk about the absolute most critical skill for any aspiring aviator: communication.
We aren’t just talking about flight hours; we are diving deep into the english speaking practice required to actually land the job.
Andre shares his incredible journey from working as a ticket agent to commanding the flight deck. He reveals why mastering your english listening skills, connecting with your crew, and being able to express yourself clearly are non-negotiable in the aviation industry.
Whether you’re an esl professional trying to pass a cadet program or just looking for english conversation practice for your next big interview, Andre’s story proves that soft skills get you the hard offers.

Thinking of quitting your job? On the verge of leaving your unfulfilling career? Have you noticed your employer is turning into a toxic workplace?
If you said yes, say hello to your new hangout. Welcome to the Reinvention Warrior Podcast!
Hey Warrior, I’m Susie Q! A mama, wife, coach, mentor, author, and Latina CEO. As a former analyst and self-proclaimed nerd, I turned my toxic job into fuel to launch my next chapter into entrepreneurship.
If you’re ready to make your career transition happen and escape that 9-5, you are in the right place! It’s time to ditch the corporate hamster wheel!
I’ve been right there in the trenches where you’re at. Life has thrown curveballs at me that I couldn’t anticipate and I’ve learned to navigate it like a warrior. Trust me, I know that you can, too (and I’m sure you’ve done that at some point, too)!
Just like you, I was desperate to leave my 16 year career, while also navigating major life hurdles! Rather than be a victim, I faced my fears, created a plan, and took action. I overhauled my life and successfully left my 9 to 5. Now, it’s your turn!
I’m guessing you are sick of your job and tired of feeling stuck by external expectations. It’s possible you have a dream in your heart that you’ve safely tucked away. My purpose is to ignite a spark of hope in you to believe that you can have more beyond that unfulfilling career.
Whether you are an aspiring woman entrepreneur or started a side hustle, this is your safe space to uncover those dreams. Together we will work on gaining clarity of where you are at, the vision you have for yourself going forward, and build a roadmap to get your pivot under way.
You can expect a touch of humor, a dose of tough love, and a compassionate approach to elevating your biggest desires. You will feel empowered to leave behind your old career identity and reinvent who you are in this new season. Bonus points for the impact it will have on every aspect of your life.
Let’s be real, we can’t disconnect our professional and personal lives entirely. That’s why I’ll be providing you with the tools and resources to guide you on how to navigate your own journey on your terms. No matter the circumstances or what you feel challenged by, we can build your customized roadmap.
We are leading the charge towards a Reinvention Revolution!
Here, you will turn your ambitions and passions into ammunition for your transformational journey.
If you’re sick of dreading Mondays, having to go back to your unfulfilling job, and pretending that you are “satisfied” in your career; then it’s time to grab a notebook and pen to armor up for the journey ahead. Let’s redefine who you are and unveil the path to your next chapter. It’s time to blaze your new path, Warrior!

We’re halfway through the year…now what?
Maybe you’ve drifted from your goals. Maybe life got messy. Maybe you’ve been waiting for motivation to magically arrive.
This week, we’re not chasing perfection, we’re creating momentum.
I’m sharing the simple reset I’ve been using in my own life to clear the clutter, quiet the noise, and start moving again. These are the foundational habits that help me break out of a rut and reconnect with the life I’m trying to build.
No complicated routines. No overnight transformation. Just practical ways to create a foundation for lasting change.
If you’re craving a fresh start, this conversation will help you take that first step.
The second half of the year doesn’t need a dramatic reinvention, it just needs one intentional decision.
✨ Press play, choose one small action, and let’s make the next six months remarkable together.
Armor up warrior, it’s go time!
Susie Q

A podcast spotlighting artists, their side hustles, and passions hosted by Samantha Tuozzolo and Jason A. Coombs in collaboration with Broadway World and Broadway Podcast Network. New episode every Thursday!
Episode 156 of Survival Jobs hosted by Jason A. Coombsand Samantha Tuozzolo, is bringing the camp, heart, and Pride Month energy thanks to the iconic Frankie Grande, filmed live at the WelcomeToTimesSquare.com studios in New York City. Frankie opened up about his experience starring as Victor Garber in the Tony nominated Broadway smash hit Titanique at the St. James Theatre.
During the conversation, Frankie reflects on the wild journey of Titanique, from performing for crowds of just 30 people during its early days to now entertaining sold out audiences of more than 1,400 theatergoers eight years later! He also celebrates his longtime friendship and collaboration with Marla Mindelle, the co-creator, co-writer, and star of Titanique, who is currently nominated for three Tony Awards this season for her incredible work on the show. Tickets for the show are available at the St. James Theatre Box Office or here online.
The episode dives into much more than Broadway as Frankie shares why releasing music, including his latest single I Drove All Night, has become such a fulfilling creative outlet outside of acting and performing on stage. He also speaks passionately about the importance of showing up for LGBTQ+ communities, specifically trans women, as Pride Month approaches. During the conversation, Jason highlights the work being done by the Bridgeport Pride Center in his hometown of Bridgeport, Connecticut, as an example of how local LGBTQ+ organizations thrive when communities rally together in support.
Lastly, no Titanique themed episode would be complete without a little chaos, Frankie joins Jason and Samantha for a hilarious round of “Because You Quizzed Me,” a Celine Dion inspired trivia game that fully matches the over the top spirit of the show!
The exclusive video of Episode 153 of Survival Jobs is available now on Broadway World, while the audio-only version of the episode is available on Broadway Podcast Network as well as popular platforms such asApple Podcasts,Spotify,Audible etc. Tune in now for insights, inspiration, and entertainment!

Everything people and workforce—recruiting, marketing, technology, talent management, and workforce economics—delivered with biting sarcasm and unapologetic snark. Industry misfits Chad Sowash and Joel Cheesman bring their no-holds-barred opinions to dissect news, trends, and the occasional dumpster fire. If you’re a hiring company, staffing firm, or vendor looking for insights (and a thick skin), these two won’t just tell you what’s happening—they’ll tell you why you’re probably doing it wrong. Buckle up, buttercup.
On this week’s The Chad & Cheese Podcast interview episode, Joel and Chad sit down with Kristy McCann founder, former CEO of Skill Cycle, and overall HR force of nature who proves the ultimate golden rule: Do NOT mess with HR.
Ever wondered what a founder’s absolute worst nightmare looks like? Picture this: You bootstrap your HR tech startup, navigate COVID without losing your shirt, grow fourfold, and then win an “Opportunity Fund” competition. Sounds great, right? Except the folks writing the checks didn’t just want a seat at the table they wanted to lock you out of the house, revalue your $30 million company down to $8 million, and suggest you replace your human coaching marketplace with an AI bot.
In this wildly candid episode, Kristy spills all the tea (and Burger King) on:
The Georgia Ambush
VC Playbooks & “Pay-to-Play”
RICO & Receipts
It’s a cautionary tale full of red flags, “bipolar 5.5-sense” gut instincts, and a Masterclass in why discovery in a courtroom is a VC’s absolute worst enemy.
“You wanna fuck with me? Fine. Let’s bring it out into a courtroom.”
— Kristy McCann
Grab your popcorn, founders you’re going to want to take notes on this one.
The Recruiting Brainfood Podcast: Your weekly 60 minute dose of brilliant conversation about Recruiting & HR
CALCULATING EMPLOYEE LIFETIME VALUE
For decades, talent acquisition has been measured by speed and cost—time-to-fill and cost-per-hire dominated the conversation while the true economic impact of every hire remained frustratingly opaque. Yet as workforce strategy matures into a board-level priority, a critical shift is underway: organisations are finally beginning to quantify what an employee is actually worth over their entire tenure. Employee Lifetime Value (ELTV) represents the holy grail of people analytics—a single metric that captures productivity, revenue generation, retention savings, and cultural contribution from day one to departure. This webinar demystifies the calculation, exposes why most organisations get it wrong, and reveals how TA leaders can use ELTV to transform recruitment from a cost centre into a profit-driving strategic function.
Key Themes We Must Address:
• Defining the Metric – Breaking down the ELTV formula beyond simplistic revenue-per-employee to include performance trajectory, promotion velocity, and knowledge transfer value
• The Data Dilemma – Why HRIS fragmentation, inconsistent performance data, and short organisational memory make accurate ELTV calculations notoriously difficult
• Hiring for Longevity vs. Performance – The tension between selecting candidates with maximum immediate output and those who compound value over years of tenure
• The Cost of a Bad Hire, Revisited – How ELTV reframes traditional cost-of-vacancy models by revealing the exponential drag of underperformers who stay too long
• Segmenting by Role and Level – Why a one-size-fits-all ELTV approach fails, and how to build role-specific models for revenue-generators, innovators, and cultural anchors
• TA’s Credibility Currency – Using ELTV projections to secure executive buy-in for longer search cycles, premium candidate experiences, and competitive offer strategies
• The Retention Multiplier – How onboarding quality, manager effectiveness, and development investment directly inflate or deflate ELTV before a recruiter’s work is even tested
• Predictive ELTV in Sourcing – Emerging signals and assessment methodologies that forecast lifetime value at the point of application, not just post-hire
• From Metric to Movement – Building organisational accountability around ELTV so that talent acquisition, HRBPs, and line managers share ownership of the full employee journey
Watch this essential discussion to elevate your strategic influence. Mastering ELTV separates transactional recruiters from architects of sustainable workforce value—and the window to lead this evolution is narrowing.
