You Should Always Be Interviewing: Staying Sharp, Visible, and Ready with Jennifer Moore
Even if you love your job — you should always be interviewing.
Not because you're planning to leave.
But because staying sharp, visible, and connected is part of leading well.
In this episode, Shobhit sits down with Jennifer Moore — Chief Product Officer of Strategies that Spark consulting services — to unpack what it really means to lead with clarity in a messy, AI-shifting, emotionally charged environment.
This isn’t just about job strategy.
It’s about protecting your leverage, knowing your value, and not waiting until you're burned out to explore what's next.
In This Conversation:
- Why “always be interviewing” is a leadership strategy — not a job search tip
- How to build internal clarity by having external conversations
- What it looks like when product becomes the silent bottleneck
- How Jennifer disarms boardroom tension and brings teams into alignment
- Why visibility, repetition, and emotional resilience are non-negotiable skills in AI-era leadership
- What she asks herself regularly:
“If I were replaced tomorrow, what’s the first thing the new person would fix?”
Whether you're actively job searching or just leading through noise, this episode will reframe how you think about career momentum — and what it really means to be ready.
