# 234: Intentional Job Search Strategies with Mac Prichard

In this episode of the Career Change Maker Podcast I am joined by Mac Prichard, a recruitment and career expert, podcaster, connector, communications strategist, and business owner. We discuss both how to look for work and how to hire smarter. There has been a shift in the way candidates view jobs, it’s less about monetary gain and more about if your values align and if there is flexibility. If you are ready to find a career that aligns with your goals this episode will guide you towards finding a job you really want, getting the interview and finding out how to position yourself in the most attractive way. Summary: What you will learn in this episode: How to approach networking it in the right way and why it is such an important investment of your time. Target companies, narrow it down, identify people inside those organisations and create deliberate strategic conversationsHiring is altogether more human now – see how it works from an organisational point of view as well as what the candidate is searching for within that companyHow to take job-seeking back to basics and regain clarity – navigating the right path to finding your ideal career. Episode Notes: As an award-winning certified executive and career coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host and former lawyer, I have seen way too many female professionals under selling themselves and settling for less in their careers. I am committed to equipping high achieving women with the tools and support to create careers that are both meaningful and impactful.
