Jonathan Flaks/Kim Laipple

Think being the smartest person in the room guarantees your dream job? Think again! This episode dives into the surprising reason highly intelligent people sometimes strike out in their job search. We uncover the hidden value of recruiters and how a "know-it-all" attitude can block your dream opportunity. Learn how to ace your networking relationships with recruiters and your dream job by following the recruiter's lead (even if it feels counterintuitive).

These and other insights are revealed in this week’s episode of “The Career Transition Experts”
