The Traditional Job is Dead. How to Become a Leading Job Candidate in a Down Economy.
"The purpose of any interview is not to get a job - it's to get the next meeting. You are on stage. It's a performance! And, you must be prepared." - Beth Ross
According to Beth Ross, there are still "good jobs out there for talented professionals. Your strategy should be to become an insider within the organization you're interviewing with." In our exclusive Career Transitions podcast with Dr. Ross, our focus is on interview training; one of the most frequent requests for

Radical Truth #100: Make Your Memoirs Worth Reading
"To kill time in an uninspiring job, then another, and another, and then one day look back on a lifetime of meaningless effort... how tragic" - Sally Hogshead.
Sally Hogshead
I met Sally Hogshead last year, and recorded an extensive interview with her about her terrific book, Radical Careering 100 Truths to Jumpstart your Job, Your Career, and Your Life. In the months following, after numerous web site updates and software enhancements, her interview
became tangled in bad code, and was unplayable. Well, we're bringing it back. It was that good, that radical, and every bit as relevant today as it was when first recorded. On her Web site, she poses a very simple question: "Do you have a career worth loving?"
The innovative use of design, type, and the format of Radical Careering, set a trend in the publishing industry which continues today.
EPOCH: The Next Way Work - For Those Who Don't Need To.
Meet Linda N. Stewart: Free Agent Matchmaking for the C Suites
Linda Stewart
"I'm looking for people who have minimum 20 years senior experience in the business world" Linda Stewart
We've had the opportunity to interview many really smart executives here on Total Picture Radio. Many of these visionaries, working at very successful enterprises, realize there's a market segment whose needs are not being met; an opportunity to engage an important audience with a product or service that's not being offered. A few examples: Marc Cenedella who left Hot Jobs to start The Ladders, Reid Hoffman left EVP of PayPal to start LinkedIn, Jeff Taylor, the founder of Monster, left to start Eons, a social networking site for baby boomers. Add to this list Linda N. Stewart, former acting COO of Veritude, a national recruiting, staffing and talent management organization owned by Fidelity. Linda is now president, CEO and founder of EPOCH - providing highly successful executives ("been there, solved that") on a periodic engagement, project basis.
There are 78 million baby boomers here in the U.S., (the number swells to 100 million by 2010), quite a few of these are seasoned senior executives looking for an opportunity to pick and choose new, exciting challenges while achieving a work/life balance ideal for their personal goals.
Here's the EPOCH Pitch:
"Today, just when businesses are feeling the effects of retiring baby boomers, loss of skilled executive talent and ever-tightening cost controls, EPOCH professionals provide extraordinary solutions. All the help you need, -- not just to fill an executive gap, but to handle important initiatives that don't get enough priority. Offering proven performance at the most senior levels, these executives are compelled by the opportunity to leverage their skills against challenging projects while achieving a work/life balance."
