Feeling Stuck in Your Career?

Reignite Your Network in Under an Hour a Day

"Your next big opportunity is probably hiding in your existing network. The only problem? You're not talking to them."


Over the years, I’ve realized the most overlooked resource in anyone's career is the relationships we already have.

I’m talking about the people who know your name, have worked alongside you, or would gladly introduce you to someone else—if only you stayed in touch.

That’s why I started using the 5-5-5 Networking System, and it completely changed how I approach my career growth.

This method is simple, takes less than an hour a day, and has helped me rebuild meaningful connections while creating new ones that lead to real opportunities.

The 5-5-5 Networking System: How It Works

Here’s the formula that keeps you from getting stuck in your own bubble:

📝 Step 1: Write Down Everyone You Know

Set aside 45 minutes to an hour and brainstorm everyone you can think of—former colleagues, mentors, friends, classmates. Don’t overthink it. Just get the names down.

🗂 Step 2: Categorize Into 3 Groups

Divide your list into these buckets:

  • People you knew (past coworkers, old friends, ex-managers)

  • People you know (current colleagues, industry peers)

  • People you want to know (leaders at companies you admire, potential mentors)

📬 Step 3: Reach Out to 5 People in Each Group

Every day, send a quick message to:

  • 5 people from your past (just to reconnect, no agenda)

  • 5 people you know now (check in, show interest)

  • 5 people you’d like to know (introduce yourself, mention a shared interest)

That’s it.

Just 15 messages a day.


Why This Works (Even If You Hate Networking)

  1. No awkward sales vibes. You're just catching up.

  2. It’s low-pressure. A simple check-in keeps you top of mind.

  3. Consistency compounds. 15 messages a day = over 400 people a month.

  4. Opportunities happen naturally. People remember you when opportunities come up.

  5. The Natural Turn. The conversation will natural come back around to you – and that’s when you mention what you’re looking to do next. And ask if they have any advice for you there.


Actionable Tips to Get Started:

✅ Start small: Try 3-3-3 if 5-5-5 feels like too much.

✅ Use templates to make outreach easier.

✅ Track your outreach with sticky notes, spreadsheets, or a notebook.

✅ Set a daily time block so it becomes a habit.


My Honest Take

Networking can feel exhausting and transactional if you treat it like a chore.

But when you use something like the 5-5-5 system, it becomes part of your daily rhythm—like checking your email or grabbing coffee.

The best part? People appreciate hearing from you.

And when you reconnect without an ask, the conversations are genuinely enjoyable.

You never know who might open a door for you tomorrow, just because you said hello today.

One last thing.

Stick with it.

I know, I know. In the beginning, we’re all full of gumption and go-get-‘em. But after a while, it can feel a little bit like homework.

In my experience, the first week is exciting. The second week feels a little awkward and toward the end of it, you may wonder ‘is this really working?’

That’s when the magic happens.

For some reason, right around day 18, the momentum tends to shift.

Then, the calls pour in.

“Claire, you’ll never believe who I just met.”

“Claire, you’ll never believe who was willing to help me.”

“S/he was sitting in my network all this time and asked to speak right away.”

You just never know.

So, work it. Keep going. And if you need a little networking revival – send me an email to claire@tractionresume.com. I’m stellar at reminding you why you are so worth doing things differently – and breaking away from the pack – to land that next opportunity out there waiting for you.

Is it insulting or motivating?

Hey there -- I was sharing this story with a client of mine whose manager was 'gently remarking' on the fullness of their call log.

I know you know this life ;)

So, tell me if my advice to her was good...

I told her, sometimes it can feel like your manager is breathing down your neck.

Constantly pointing out areas for improvement, offering feedback, and pushing you harder than everyone else.

It can feel frustrating—like you’re being singled out.

(tl;dr, I shared what I'd say to him/her below)

But ...

what if I told you that this kind of attention could be your biggest career advantage?

When I was in high school, I played libero on my volleyball team.

One practice, it felt like my coach was picking on me.

Every. single. move. I. made. earned a comment:

“You could get there faster”

“Call your name louder”

“Sprint quicker”

By the end of practice, I was fuming.

(which if you know me, it's hard to get me there)

Why wasn’t he focusing on the rest of the team?

Everyone was making mistakes, but I was the one under his microscope.

After practice, I confronted him:

“Why are you picking on me? Why can’t you see how hard I’m trying?”

What he said stopped me cold:

“Claire, I wouldn’t be pushing you if I didn’t see potential. I know what you’re capable of, and that’s why I’m harder on you.”

That one moment shifted everything for me.

His criticism wasn’t about what I was doing wrong—it was about what I could do.

Why Tough Feedback Is a Gift

When a manager, coach, or mentor focuses on you, it’s often because they see potential.

They’re investing time and energy into your development because they believe in what you can become.

If they didn’t care about your growth, they wouldn’t bother giving you feedback at all.

So the question remains, what do we DO with this reframe?

As the resident comeback kid, I say we use it to our advantage.

Here's how:

  1. Recognize the Investment: Understand that consistent feedback is a sign of belief in your abilities, not a critique of your worth.

  2. Seek the Bigger Picture: Ask your manager what they see in you.

    For example, “I appreciate all your feedback—I really do-- and I know you only spend your time where it's well spent. Is there some potential you see that I'm not seeing? What do you see I'm capable of that I'm missing? If I can be vulnerable with you for a moment here, what are the strengths you see in me that I should be building on?"

  3. Now: LISTEN

  4. Embrace it: Treat every piece of feedback as an opportunity to sharpen your skills and grow into your potential.

  5. Gratitude: Let your manager know you value their guidance. Saying, “Thank you for pushing me—I know you’re helping me improve,” strengthens the relationship.

Why This Mindset Will Set You Apart

Most people shy away from constructive criticism. They see it as a sign of failure instead of an opportunity for growth. But when you learn to embrace feedback, you set yourself apart as someone willing to adapt, grow, and take ownership of your potential.

The hardest lessons often bring the biggest rewards.

A Simple Thought to Carry Forward

The next time you feel like your manager is being overly critical, pause. Ask yourself: What potential do they see in me that I’m not fully tapping into yet? You might be surprised at how much they believe in your ability to rise to the challenge.

Thinking of you and your incredible potential today.

And rooting for you -- hard!

You’re too amazing to write boring emails

You may be tempted to email that hiring manager this after your interview.

“I’m excited about the position and I appreciate your time.”

tl;dr – much better templates below.

However, there are 3 problems with this:

It’s all about you not your target

You’re too amazing to write boring emails

That’s what everyone else says (including ChatGPT)

…which is why we don’t let AI write for us, right? Riiiiight?

(but, I digress)

Anyway -- there’s a better way to follow up that’s all about THEM.

Which is why they’re hiring you in the first place.

To solve their problems

To make their life/job easier

To delight their boss/bottom line

And there’s also

  • Timing

  • Frequency

  • Personalization

that works exceptionally well.

But there are TWO rules you must follow:

>> Make it about THEM

Remove “I” wherever possible to focus on what’s important to the person you’re writing to.

>>Mean it

Human evolution is based on intuition and sensing danger – so it’s evident when someone is inauthentic.

(That’s why people talk about going with your gut so often)

Be real or don’t say it.

And if you’re having trouble thinking of something authentic to share, consider what the person you’re writing to is looking to achieve or know. What would make their life easier and what pressure might they be under that they’d be eager to remove with one wave of a magic wand.

Let empathy, curiosity, and connection be your guides!

Get the entire set here:

BONUS: If you really want to get savvy and swift with these – save these templates as templated emails and update your target’s name and company name before sending them.

and if you go this time saving route, be sure to give them a read-through before sending, just in case

If this was useful, consider sending to a friend in the industry. We’ll be releasing many of these tools from the Traction Resume vault this year. My mission is to help 150 people land great medical sales roles this year, despite all the layoffs happening and it being a hiring market.

So, here’s to stacking the odds in your favor and doubling that number next year!

Is it the soft OR hard skills that are derailing your interview?

Spicy take
Is it the soft OR hard skills
that are derailing your interview?

My take…

both.

Both are important, but they need to be showcased in a way that conveys value.

Otherwise, they'll fall flat.

An easy way to show how you’ve used BOTH soft or hard skills to achieve results is this:

(Result + Metric) by (Method), (Stakes/Relevance)

An example is:

Reduced turnover by 85% by mentoring internal sales talent in weekly 30-minute sessions, despite the launch of competing drug in the region.

(S)he who conveys the value best -- wins!

So, Social Saturday 👍 or 👎 ?

So,

Social Saturday 👍 or 👎 ?

Whether you choose to get social (or not) on Saturday

Here are 3 hard lessons from someone laid off 4 (almost 5) times.

1// Your 'company loyalty' will not keep you from being laid off
2// Expecting results from online apps ends in 90%+ frustration
3// Putting networking on hold when you're happily employed is dangerous

_______
_______

What WILL help reinstate your career despite a layoff (or 5)?
Networking.
That's it.

So, Social Saturday-style activities

when done with genuine intention

are one of the most rewarding, profitable activities you can do for your career.

3 Levels of Networking

3 Levels of Networking

(tl;dr: The Good, The Better, + The HOW)

LEVEL 1
Reconnecting with buddies and colleagues when you get laid off
>> Low Trust
>> Need-Based
>> Lowest Effectiveness

CHALLENGE: Valuable BUT Lowest Authenticity, Highest Time-To-Rebuild Cost

LEVEL 5
'Holiday' check-ins (Christmas, Birthdays, Layoffs)
>> Trust-Reinforcing
>> Relevance-Boosting
>> Medium Effectiveness

CHALLENGE: Remembering events, sporadic connection, organization

LEVEL 10
'Systematic, Fresh, Top-of-Mind Networking
>> Trust-Building and Growing
>> Most Effective, Top-of-Mind, Opportunity++
>> Highest Effectiveness + Greatest Authenticity

CHALLENGE: Keeping it organized (see the PS of this post)
CHALLENGE 2: Choosing between the opportunities coming your way. Deciding which you want to and can handle, vs. the ones you will pass on to others.
(Hellooooooo reciprocity)
CHALLENGE 3: Choosing a systematic way to do and track all this

Now...the HOW

Try my 5-5-5 Networking Approach

Reach out to:

5 people you KNEW
5 people you KNOW now
5 people you WANT TO KNOW

Revive your old connections, nurture your current ones, and stay engaged with new people who are active in the arena where you want to be seen.

A rule of thumb: Network with these 5-5-5 every work day and once you've done it, check it off your list.

Don't spend all day networking.
Do it, check it, and be done.
No burnout badges.

OKAY, THAT'S IT!

Hope you enjoyed this system.
Have a wonderful day!
And if you're on Spring Break like we are -- have a blast with the family!
xo, Claire

________________________

Now, you know me.

Networking is THE WAY to get your next role
-- faster and YES sometimes before they're posted.

but I THRIVE on a system
-- bc we ALL fall flat when there's no system.

And as much as I know you can manage all this
-- you can!

(I built you something)

It helps you manage this easily (actually)

Like a WOD for networking

And you become 'the guy' or 'the gal' who never forgets

...to text when it's a birthday
...to be the first on that LinkedIn post in ONE click
...to (actually) follow up w/conference contacts (and never lose them)

(and -- it's NOT owned by your company ... so if they shut your computer off right now, you're good)

right?

The 4 most important words you’ll ever hear are

The 4 most important words you’ll ever hear are:



You
Can’t
Do
This

Throughout my career, I've heard this a lot.

🗣You can’t write those emails directly to clients.

🗣You can’t post your story on social.

🗣You can’t develop that new territory.

🗣You can’t start a podcast.

🗣You can't put color on your client's resume.

🗣You can't find any place better than this company.

🗣You'll never meet that doctor, she's unreachable.

Here’s the deal.

“You can’t do this”

may be the 4 most important words you'll ever hear.

but, the trick is how you use them.

Personally?

I like to counter with 4 words of my own.

Oh
Really?
Let’s
See

Have you ever used these 4 words as die hard, Sparta-style motivation?

Before you vent in a TGIF post

Before you vent in a TGIF post

remember...

... these 5 ways to turn off your hiring manager:

>> Mentioning that your last boss was a tyrant

>> Referring to your doctors as ‘pawns in a game’

>> Asking about work/life balance incessantly and before they talk about it

>> Mentioning you’ve always done it ‘this way’ and don’t like change

>> Serve up a canned “I’m an overachiever” response to a “what’s your greatest weakness,” question.

>> Referring to your former colleagues as "people who just didn’t get it”

>> Telling them a project wasn't done because "it just wasn't worth your time"

...okay, there were more than five.

I know, I know
It was a tough gig
And you're no doormat

BUT

Flip these and you'll increase your chances of closing that interview strong.

Feel like you're coming on too strong?

If you were in the audio room 30 min. ago,

here were those 3 little secrets we mentioned:


1. We gave you a HALL PASS:
George A. Pace, MBA, Kenneth Lang, Virginia Franco, and myself give you a hall pass from applying online first (yep, even to companies posting jobs on Linkedin)

don't. do. it.

...until you connect with at least one person who was/is at that company.

Who?

>> People currently working at the company
>> People who used to work at that place
>> Bonus: if they share your alma mater

2. Leverage Thought Leadership

>> Search articles
>> Chime in and share them
>> Repost thoughtful ideas with your take

3. Sell Your System

>> Remember, YOU are the product.
>> What is the systematic way that you get results for others/companies
>> THAT SYSTEM -- is very 'sellable' about you

Learn it
Own it
Use it

And if in doubt, join us for another Lions, Tigers, and Resumes...Oh My event in April.

We love to help unlock those career doors you're banging on, in real time.

Have a great week, all!

you have to look close for this one

you have to look close for this one

like a secret code.

it's the simple art

of thanks



One way to thank someone is to endorse them or edify them with a kind and appreciative note.

Try this to guide you:

"When I was [experiencing xyz problem], I reached out to [your contact's name] and (s)he [what did they do for you]. (S)he has a true skill for [what did she help you solve].

Because of his/her help, I'm now [your situation after this problem was solved]. If you're looking to [solve the problem you shared at the beginning], seek out a mentor like [his/her name]. Thank you so much, [contact name]."

Send out a few of these today.

Best served as a surprise.

(and looks great on a resume!)

what if

__ what if __

instead of applying to 50 jobs online

you sent personalized messages to 50 people

you Knew, Know, and Want to Know

__ + what if __

when you did that

you were able to actually reconnect

with 25 of those people

in the DMs, on the phone, or zoom

__ + what if __

you made 1 hour per day to do these catch-ups

and you caught up on family, life, and work...

and you're reminded of what

they're all about and

what bonded you

in the first place

you suddenly think of something

or someone you know

that might help them out.

A friend they should meet, a book you read,

the website that helped you pick paint colors.

__ + what if __

it feels good to reconnect with them.

dare I say it -- fun even

momentarily freeing your mind

from the job application doom scroll

that is getting you absolutely nowhere

__ + what if __

you start to feel thankful you did this

grateful for their time

their connection

bc they care

__ BUT what if __


the conversation

naturally turns back to you

and they ask you what you're up to now

and you tell them about your life and family

and the part where you're now looking for work

__ what if __

you tell them specifically what it is you're looking for

and that you're excited to find that thing

but want to make the right choice

and you ask their thoughts

__ + what if __

they mention they have a friend

over at that company

in that industry

that part of the country

__ or what if __

they wish, but they don't know someone

but they're rooting for you anyways

and they want to keep in touch regardless

__ + what if __

suddenly they say "oh, waiiiiit you know what?"

and they think of 2 people you could chat with

or maybe -- you ASK them if they know

2 others you could chat with

(love this move Virginia Franco)

to get an idea of what that company

or industry, or specialty -- is really like.

and they'd totally chat with you to share

what's really going on there

so you thank them

and then

you

do

it

__ + what if __

that leads to more opportunities

more confidence and support

more peace and productivity

than applying online ever did

__ what if __

I wrote this post in <4 minutes

Because I know this story SO well

bc it happens all the time

it's what I "coach"

less than 4 minutes

I only went back to fix a few typos

and add the design-ey "__ + what if __" piece

This is so familiar to me and to my clients, it flows like water.

This is exactly how my clients land jobs that fall into the category of:

best job

favorite gig

that 'right fit' role

...and without that whole Easy Apply but there are already 250 applicants to
this role shenani...ahem, "helpful new button".

yep.

I cut my son’s hair

I cut my son’s hair

once

On a sweltering June day in Northern, CA outside our little 1,200sqft farmhouse

I was stuck between little brother's naps and my husband's call schedule

...and a very shaggy 4 yo.

So, I picked the most logical option -- DIY haircuts.

After all, according to my neighbor and the Post Office clerk -- “it was easy”

I'd been "crazy I'd not been lowering our family's ears all this time!"

How long HAD I been living under this rock?

So, the plan was set in motion

I dug up our Wahl clippers out of the garage

Eagerly whipped through some YouTube tutorials

Learned "everything I must know" about fades and trims

And plopped my cherub of a 4 year old boy on our porch bench
(the one I'd just reupholstered because ... DIY)

And he sat with *stunning patience*

Angel-level
First-time ever
(probably shock)

And. I. Went. To. Town.

I went at that sweet, wispy toddler hair with clippers
Like I imagine Andy Warhol did with the soups
All grace and gumption and raw enthusiasm

"
This is fun!
A swoop here...
Gotta wet the comb
We'll go shorter there
Even shorter on the back
Uhoh...where's the # 1 guard?
His head is getting really sweaty now
Guard's broken -- I'll just hold it in place...
They didn't mention 'broken guard' technique
It's really hard to hold this broken guard when clippppping
"

45 min. later

done.

And while I'd LOVE to tell you this was a "W" for both of us
That it ended up like newfound barbershop success !!!
(You remember the "once" part?)

It was more like a 45-minute attempt at the worst cutout paper snowflake -- the kind that you accidentally snip too close and need tape to cover and eventually realize...maybe paper snowflakes aren't your 'thing'

...and we ended right back in the Kidz Cutz hairdresser chair that very afternoon.

_______________________

So while I can DIY many things

🤞🏼making homemade pickles
🤞🏼paint & remodel
🤞🏼bread

…haircuts?

never
again

But a small silver lining?
My collection of save-it-for-the-wedding-pictures got a bit bigger that day.

So here I am waiting for my hair color and cut by my GENIUS and LOVELY and PROFESSIONALLY TRAINED hair dresser.

And wondering if there’s anything like this that you’ve tried, changed your mind, and now go with a pro?

Would love to hear it👇🏼

Keep me busy in the hair chair🪑❤️ 💇🏼‍♀️

Video interviews are here to stay

Video interviews are here to stay

so

Keep these pieces in mind when interviewing on video:

Dress professional and comfortable -- ideally with a bit of color on top.

Sit in front of a brightly colored window or position two lights at 45 degrees in front of you.

Ensure you're in a quiet environment and have a notepad and pen at the ready.

Smile when the camera turns on and look right at it when you're talking. A great hack for this is to grab a 'center cam' where your camera is suction cupped to the center of your screen.

I could write a book about you

I could write a book about you

seriously.

Here are a few things I could cover based on what my clients said this month:

>> getting in with impossible-to-reach people
>> supporting colleagues through hardship
>> how to inspire demotivated teams
>> leadership in a volatile market
>> marrying sales + marketing
>> consulting in new markets
>> parenting with autonomy
>> hiring for fit > function
>> commercialization

...and more

So when we condense someone's brilliance -- their System for Success -- in these areas, it's an art.

This slider is an example of how we distilled one of the most motivational, loved, and trusted women in medical sales from 5 pages of wins and war stories...

down to 2.

2 Powerfully Written Branding Pages

(aka, a resume)

>> And the point of it all can be found on slide 16 <<

Congrats, Kellie.
Well-deserved!

Just thought I'd air out all the bad internet advice out there

All the things you may be worrying about today

As you're looking for that new role

The one you deserve to be in

That you CAN have

__________________________

Here's the thing:

There are a million people who will tell you 'no'.

you can't
not in 2024
you're dreamin'
you haven't paid your dues
you just don't know the industry

the "accepted way of doing things"

but

take it from someone who has debunked ALL of these

>> herself <<

______________________

So, don't listen to the 'masses' and industry intel you've heard since 1995

(I see ya 'Challenger Selling')

You
Can
Get
That
Role

The catch is -- first, you must believe you can.

Then, you build a plan to do it.
