Seen Heard & Hired

We've all had one of those days. The pointless meeting that pushes you over the edge.The passive aggressive email from Bob in finance. The manager who leaves you wondering why you still work there. Before you know it, you're auto applying for every job that you see. But is that really the best move? In this episode, Sarah and Carol discuss the growing trend that is “'rage applying,'   where people impulsivelyapply for jobs out of frustration, stress or dissatisfaction in their current role. They explore what’s driving it, such as toxic work environments and poor leadership,and outline the importance of a strategic approach to job searching. In this conversation they dive into having clarity when applying, understanding your why and your primary motivators before hitting that “quick apply” button tomake a career decision you’ll still feel good about six months from now. ❤️Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/seenheardhired?igsh=a21xd2V0b2hpbGpr&utm_source=qrTo book a coaching session with Sarah, go to www.sarahveronica.comTo book a coaching session with Carol go to  www.fraserpeople.co.nz
