Emily Worden • Next Act Career

Hi Emily, 

I owe you an apology. Many of you have written to me and I have not yet written back. Some of you have made an appointment and you’re waiting weeks to see me. 

I receive 100+ messages a day in my email and LinkedIn messages. I try my best to respond to each of you, but the messages pile up. 

Also, dozens of you write to me each week, asking to move up your appointment because you need help ASAP. But I only have so many slots available. 

There is so much pain, anger, confusion, and depression around the job search. And I want to honor each of your struggles while still helping as many people as I can. 

I don’t write this newsletter too often, something I hope to fix now. But I do post every day on LinkedIn, often twice a day, and I try to make every post filled with simple, actionable advice that can help your job search. (If you’re not yet following me on LinkedIn, come join the party!)

TL:DR - You all need help, and I’m trying to catch up. 

With that said, I’m launching a few new initiatives to try and help more people at once: 

GROUP ASK ME ANYTHING SESSIONS

I offer 1:1 Ask Me Anything sessions, but I’d like to help more people with GROUP ASK ME ANYTHING SESSIONS. 

Send your questions in advance, and I’ll answer them during a live 60-minute Q&A session. If you’ve attended one of my live AMAs before, you know they are fast-moving and filled with actionable tips. 

The cost is $5 and the room is capped at 100 people. The first GROUP ASK ME ANYTHING SESSION will launch in April: 

DATE: Tuesday, April 1* 

TIME: 12:00-1:00 pm EST

COST: $5

*The event will be recorded and shared for those who cannot attend live.

GROUP DISCOVERY SESSIONS

My calendar is currently booking into May. And I don’t want you waiting that long to see me! So I’m launching group Discovery Sessions to try to see more people at once. (Click here to learn more about Discovery Sessions.)

Here’s how it works: 

• I will see four people for 50 minutes. 
• You will fill out a form ahead of time outlining your situation and the #1 career problem keeping you up at night. 
• Then, during our 50 minutes together, you will introduce yourself and I will spend the rest of the time addressing your questions.

This is a great chance to build a community and network with other job seekers. Plus, you’ll have less wait time for appointments and more time to meet with me. 

I am launching two GROUP DISCOVERY SESSIONS in early April: 

1. Thursday, April 3 at 12:00 pm EST: 2 slots remaining
2. Friday, April 4 at 4:00 pm EST: 4 slots available

You can join the GROUP DISCOVERY SESSION in two ways: 

1. If you already booked a Discovery Session for April or May, email me at emily@emilyworden.com to schedule your slot in a group session. 
2. If you haven’t purchased a Discovery Session yet, purchase the KICK YOUR CAREER IN GEAR Discovery Session here and then email me at emily@emilyworden.com to schedule your slot. 

Every week, I book my clients first. Then, I book the “Mini Sessions” (Ask Me Anything, Roast My Resume, Roast My LinkedIn) in the order they were received. Then, if there’s room, I move up the Discovery Sessions. 

I hope by launching these group sessions, I can help more of you with less wait time. This is my first time trying this, so let’s see how it goes! 

To your success,

- Emily
