Are you applying for CSM roles feeling either overqualified or underqualified and wondering where you actually fit?

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to decide which roles are actually worth your time, why job titles matter way less than you think, and the three things I want you looking at before you apply. I’ll also walk you through when being overqualified is totally fine and how to tell when an underqualified role is still within reach.

You’ll walk away knowing where to focus your job search instead of wasting time on roles that aren’t the right fit.

If you want to apply more strategically and feel confident about the roles you’re targeting, hit play and let’s get into it.
