Randy unpacks why every job—no matter how small—is a potential stepping stone, and offers coaching tools to help you work smarter, not harder. He also reveals his best-kept secrets for nailing interviews, making your resume pop (including why you shouldn’t write it yourself), and how to ask the right questions that set you apart from other candidates.
