Senia walks us through three steps that can help us find our ideal jobs: 1. Fun networking, also called aimless connecting. Do a little daily. Call somebody or text somebody. 2. During interviews, asking good questions, such as "What is your goal over the next 6 months?" "How does this role help you meet your goals?" and "What are the characteristics of people who have done well in this role?" 3. Telling engaging stories. Have 3 SARI stories ready and 2 as backup. Match the stories you tell as closely as possible to the role you're interviewing for.

Cleaning my garage? Growing my business? 2. There are often important meetings after the meeting with no ability to really read the other person's body language or get their temperature, pun intended. How do I foster these conversations and establish those sponsors and those champions? 3. What do you most wish for our viewers today? What is the suggestion you have for them or a wish for them as they go off to their weekend and then the next week of work?
