The transformations she has seen with her clients are powerful and humbling.\xa0 Donna shared with us some of the points she discusses with her clients including:

\xb7\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 Always remember, if someone would ask you for help in their networking, you would support them, don\u2019t think you cannot ask others for their help.

\xb7\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 Bringing your negative thoughts and attitude into an interview does not help you, you need to deal with these emotions, or your job search will be more challenging.

\xb7\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 We discussed the \u2018great resignation\u2019 which for many has evolved into the \u2018great regret\u2019 and what that means for job seekers.

\xb7\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 Remember, it is ok to acknowledge you have feelings during your job search process.

\xb7\xa0 \xa0 \xa0 \xa0 Sometimes you may need to step away from your job search to regroup and energize yourself.
