Time-Optimized Job Interviewing – Part 2 Execution

💥 You don’t rise to the level of your resume. You fall to the level of your preparation and execution. 💥

I watched a candidate literally RUN out of an interview. Not because they weren’t smart.

📌 Interviewing is a PERFORMANCE.

📌 You’ve got limited time to show what you’ve got.

📌 And if you’re Googling answers mid-interview… it’s already over.

Stop winging it. Start executing with intent.

🔥 Want to crush the next opportunity?

In Part 2 of my series, I break down the EXECUTION phase of a job interview.

You’ll learn:

✅ How to compartmentalize tasks under pressure

✅ How to focus when it feels like chaos

✅ Why “protected time” might be your interview superpower

💡 Most people prepare for the interview like it’s a conversation. It’s not. It’s a controlled test of how well you use your time.

Let’s stop guessing and start dominating. Time-optimization isn’t optional—it’s everything.

Time-Optimized Job Interviewing – Part 1 Preparation

🚨 In a job search, time is opportunity!

You’ve got 30 or 60 minutes in an interview. That’s it. No second chances.

I watched a candidate burn HALF the interview talking about himself. 💣 28 minutes of rambling!

Not because he wasn’t smart.

Not because he didn’t have experience.

But because he didn’t PREPARE with intention.

👇 Don't fall into a time trap:

✅ Know your story

✅ Keep answers under 2 minutes

✅ Research like your future depends on it (because it does)

✅ Ask the kind of questions that show you’re already thinking like a team member

You don’t get hired because of your resume. You get hired because of the way you make people FEEL in that short window.

You’ve got to optimize that time like your next paycheck depends on it. Because it does.

A "Born-Again" Post-Career Life

Can you be born again after your career ends?

My mom’s financial advisor used to tell her:

"Karen, you’re not using much of your retirement portfolio. There are so many things you could be doing."

As her health declined, the chance to embrace new experiences slipped away.

More than five years after her passing, I find myself reflecting:

What if she had seen retirement as a new beginning — not just the end of work?

In life, we often stick to what we know. Comfort zones. Familiar routines.

But what if post-career life could be a time of rebirth — a chance to redefine your identity, shift your mindset, and live with intention?

In this latest article, I explore:

• How to let go of your old career identity and embrace a new purpose.
• Why fulfillment (not just achievement) should guide your next chapter.
• How to design your time intentionally, for joy, curiosity, and growth.

💡 It's not too late to be born again. The best version of you might still be ahead.

Conduct a Social Network Audit

⏰ “Sorry I’m late.”

How many times have you said it this past week?

We live in an age with more ways to communicate than ever before — and yet, it feels like we’re constantly apologizing for missed calls, late arrivals, or running behind. Why?

Because how we manage our time is directly tied to how often we feel the need to say sorry. We can become victims of our own time.

In this piece, I explore the connection between apologies and time mismanagement, and share 5 simple strategies to reduce “I’m sorry” moments by using your time with more intention.

Whether you're a professional, a retiree, or somewhere in between — fewer apologies start with better boundaries.

Conduct a Social Network Audit

💬 "Who will still be in your life 10 years from now — and what will it take to keep those relationships strong?"

Financial advisors guide clients through wealth strategies and retirement projections. But are they also helping them protect one of their most overlooked assets?

👉 Their social network.

More than 14 million older adults in the U.S. experience social isolation — and the health, cognitive, and even financial consequences are real.

In my piece for Rethinking65, I explore how a Social Network Audit can become a powerful part of your retirement planning process.

✅ Reduce client isolation

✅ Strengthen loyalty

✅ Deliver life-centered value

Retirement isn’t just a numbers game — it’s a lifestyle shift. Let’s help clients retire with connection, not just a portfolio.
