In this episode of “People in Transition,” I had the pleasure of speaking with Sarah JanTausch, the Founder of SRJ Coaching and Consulting and the creator of the Values-Based-Career method.  Sarah is an Executive & Career Coach, Speaker, and Trainer dedicated to helping individuals create values-based careers and uncover the hidden job market.  She specializes in guiding career pivots, teaching generosity-based networking, and aligning total vocational impact with core values.

Sarah is the Chair of Government Relations for the Ohio Career Development Association and Co-Chair-elect for the National Career Development Association's Government Relations Committee.

In this episode, we dive into several key topics, including:

·  The importance of networking throughout your career journey.  Engage in networking that suits your style, from large gatherings to one-on-one informational interviews.

·  How to network with curiosity and gratitude while being strategic in your efforts.

·  Discovering the hidden job market through building Relationships within your target organizations.

·  Strategies for career pivots, including informational interviews, Volunteering in new industries, and experimenting through consulting or special projects.

·  The value of career assessments for mid-career changes to identify your core traits and strengths.

·  The necessity of building a “freedom fund” before embarking on entrepreneurial or solopreneur roles.

·  Feeling empowered to interview the interviewer to ensure the role is the right fit for you.

We also touched on many other insightful and practical points during this informative, value-packed, and fun interview.  I know you'll enjoy Sarah's insights as much as I did.

Bob Gerst Mr. Transition Expert

I have had a terrific work life; I started as an auditor and then joined a property management company. I was the first professional HR executive with them. I had the opportunity to create and mature a sophisticated HR service delivery model. Then, I joined Jones Lang LaSalle, a global R/E firm. I was asked to move to Singapore to head up the Asia Pacific Region and helped build an HR team again. I then moved to Las Vegas, first with The Venetian and then with Boyd Gaming. I am now President of my own Company, HR Transitions, and the VP of HR at John I. Haas. I also have taught undergraduate and graduate level programs, including courses at Benedictine University, Heritage University, and the College of Southern Nevada.
