Career change advice from a recruiter and business owner

If you've ever wondered what recruiters are actually thinking during an interview, this episode is for you. This week, I sit down with Eric Lee Usher, entrepreneur, recruiter, and founder of an executive assistant recruiting business. Unlike many guests on the podcast, Eric didn't transition out of the performing arts. Instead, he shares the perspective artists rarely get to hear: what hiring managers and recruiters are really looking for when someone is changing careers. From translating your creative experience into business language to building confidence in interviews, Eric shares practical advice that every artist, performer, and creative professional should hear before applying for their next role. We also dive into how AI can help you prepare for your career transition without losing your authentic voice, why recruiters value creatives more than you might think, and one overlooked opportunity that could completely change the way you think about your next career move. _____________________________________________ In this video, you'll learn:▸ Why recruiters often see creatives as a huge asset—and what concerns they may have▸ The biggest interview mistakes candidates make (and how to avoid them)▸ How to translate your performing arts experience into skills employers actually value▸ How to use AI to prepare for interviews, improve your resume, and clarify your career direction▸ Why knowing who you want to become matters more than knowing what job you want▸ An overlooked career opportunity most job seekers aren't even considering_____________________________________________ If you're a performer wondering "What’s next for me?
