Ep 41: From PR Glam to Career Jam: Storytelling Your Way Out of the Void

What if finding your dream job actually takes a year—or even longer?


In this eye-opening episode of "Gen Mess with Tess," host Tess Brigham sits down with career strategist Liz Helton to pull back the curtain on the realities of job searching and career transformation in today's ever-evolving workforce. If you've ever wondered why sending off hundreds of applications can feel like shouting into a void, this episode will reveal why—and most importantly, what you can do about it.


Together, Tess Brigham and Liz Helton dig into:

  • The shocking length of the modern job search—and why it’s no longer a "three-month process"
  • How technology and AI have totally transformed the hiring landscape (for better and worse)
  • Actionable strategies for networking that actually work, whether you’re an introvert, a new grad, or making a mid-career pivot
  • The key differences in how Gen Z, Millennials, and Gen X approach work, fulfillment, and branding themselves
  • Why keeping your own “brag book” is essential for beating imposter syndrome and keeping your confidence alive amid career changes
  • How AI isn’t taking jobs, but people who know AI are—and how you can upskill right now


You’ll learn practical tips for standing out in a crowded applicant pool, making LinkedIn work for you, and reframing both rejection and uncertainty as essential steps toward meaningful work. Plus, Liz Helton shares her own journey from PR exec to career consultant, and why sometimes your superpower is that thing that feels as natural as breathing.
