216: How to stand out as a candidate with AI prep, portfolios and tools (The Martech job hunt survival guide, part 2)

Episode notes

What’s up everyone, today we continue with part 2 of a 3 part series we’re calling The Martech Job Hunt Survival Guide. Part 2 is: How to stand out as a candidate with AI prep, portfolios and tools. Summary : Phil and Darrell spent this episode breaking down what actually moves the needle when you’re searching for a role: building the portfolio that almost no marketing ops professional bothers to save, navigating the AI experience question, knowing when to take a contract role instead of holding out, and skipping the AI job-search tools that make you look like everyone else. The honest observations from Darrell’s own recent job search make this one worth listening to, including why the colleagues most reluctant to make a lateral move are still searching months later.
