Uncertainty Is Just Noise—You’re in Control

24 Days of Bold Moves

Job searching can feel overwhelming. There are so many unknowns—how long it will take, who’s reading your resume, whether the interview went well. It’s easy to feel powerless.

But here’s the thing: there are so many things you CAN control.

That’s where Get Her Hired’s 2024 Job-Search Advent Calendar comes in. Each day, I’m sharing bold, practical, actionable strategies designed to put the power back in YOUR hands. From defining your dream role to owning your narrative, these 24 days of advice are focused on the steps you can take to move your career forward—on your terms.

We’re nine days in, and here’s a quick recap:
🎄 Day 1: Name the Dang Thing
Define your career goal. Clarity creates direction.

🎄 Day 2: Rewrite Your Inner Narrative
You’re not lucky—you’re qualified. List your top 10 strengths and read them often.

🎄 Day 3: Burn the Good Girl Playbook
