Land Your Next Job: Stand Out in Interviews With a Career Walking Deck

I first learned about the Career Walking Deck in 2023 and although I experimented with it, I didn’t fully see its value at the time. Fast forward to 2025, and everything had shifted post-layoff. I connected with Karen and she shared examples, walked me through how others were using it, and encouraged me to give it another try.

That support made a big difference.

With Karen’s encouragement and newfound experience and perspective, I approached it this time with a clearer story, stronger impact, and a better sense of how to use it as a real career tool. Karen’s guidance helped me see the value in refining my narrative and using the deck as a way to communicate my growth more intentionally.

I don’t have what people would consider a “traditional” or linear career path, so I came to realize it was going to take a lot more than a clean resume for me to properly showcase my experience, skillset, and the value I could bring to an organization.

That’s when I knew I wanted to incorporate a Career Walking Deck into my job search toolkit! The exercise of building one gave me an opportunity to look inward and be honest with myself about my priorities at this time in my career.

When I attended a final round interview to meet with the HR team, the CHRO said he was so impressed with my Career Walking Deck because it had all the right information without being fluffy. He said it was “perfect!”

As a contractor seeking full-time opportunities, I was about to enter my first interview in nearly 2 years and thought that having a Career Walking Deck would be a great way to stand out.

The process of creating a deck was very simple thanks to Karen's templates. I presented my Career Walking Deck at the end of the interview when asked if I had any additional questions for the interview panel. I used my deck to reiterate how I’d add value and impact upon hire.

All of the panelists were impressed and I had an offer within an hour!

I'm excited to support Karen with running this course & sharing insights from the job seeker's POV.

Karen's mock interviews are truly next level. She walks you through different interview styles based on color frameworks like red & blue, which helped me better understand how to adapt my responses & show up more confidently in different interview settings. She also shows you how to use your Career Walking Deck effectively during interviews, which has helped me stand out & present my experience in a more compelling way.

She has not only equipped me with practical tools for my job search, but she has also given me the confidence to network more effectively on LinkedIn, maintain the relationships I have built through networking, and approach opportunities with greater clarity and purpose.
