What Would You Do If an Interviewer Criticized Your LinkedIn Personal Brand?
That was the moment that shifted everything for me.
I still remember sitting across virtually from a corporate interviewer who raised concerns about my LinkedIn presence.
It was meant to be constructive feedback, but it felt like the final sign I needed to take control of my own narrative—and career.
In my words: “After spending a decade running my own businesses, I realised I’d become virtually unemployable.”
This defining moment became a key part of my conversation with Cheryl Lau on episode 190 of The Thought Leader Club Podcast, where I was a guest in their “Quit Story” series.
I shared the highs, lows, and lessons from my journey of leaving corporate life behind to pursue solopreneurship.
Here’s what we dived into:
- Being “unemployable”: What it truly means and how to know if going solo is the right move for you.
- The realities of self-employment: My personal experiences—the wins and the challenges—after taking the leap.
- Building a personal brand: Practical, no-fluff advice on positioning yourself on LinkedIn to align with your goals.
I’ve always believed in the power of sharing authentic stories, and this episode gave me the chance to reflect on my path to sustainable self-employment, all while juggling life as a father of four kids and caretaker to two dogs.
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build your own professional freedom—or if you’re just curious about my journey—this episode is for you.
