The Job Hunting Podcast

Renata Bernarde left her corporate career in 2018 after realizing that most professionals have no idea how recruitment and selection actually work behind the scenes. That frustration became The Job Hunting Podcast, which now has 329 episodes and a loyal following among experienced corporate professionals and executives. Renata's background gives her a unique angle -- she's not just a career coach giving advice from the outside, she's someone who navigated the corporate world at senior levels and knows firsthand how opaque the hiring process can be. Episodes range from 20 to 60 minutes and mix solo coaching sessions with guest interviews featuring recruiters, HR directors, and career psychologists. Recent episodes have incorporated sports psychology principles into job search strategy, which is a genuinely interesting twist -- she draws parallels between athletic performance under pressure and interview performance that actually hold up. The show targets a more experienced audience than most job search podcasts, so you won't hear much about entry-level resume tips. Instead, Renata tackles executive-level concerns: how to position yourself when you're overqualified, how to handle being laid off from a senior role, how to rebuild professional confidence after burnout. She also runs a coaching program called Job Hunting Made Simple, and episodes occasionally reference it, but the podcast content stands well on its own. Weekly releases keep the advice current with shifting labor market conditions.
