So there’s this awesome job, the sort of job you’d just die to land (and tell your friends about)! But the awesome job isn’t nearly like the job you have now. So how do you make it from current job to awesome job?

In our podcast series, we’re hoping to provide insights and answers to that very question. We talk to young people who have amazing jobs or are doing something really cool and interesting and ask them how they did it. So listen along for good information and some inspiration, too.

This certainly isn’t the first time someone has pointed out the similarities between dating and the job hunt. But the comparison is just so apt!

So when I learned about A Little Nudge, Erika Ettin’s online dating business, I knew her experience helping people find love would give her an interesting take on job search and personal branding topics. Apart from that, I was also really interested in learning more about Erika’s business and how she left a career in finance to become “part dating coach, part matchmaker,” as her website puts it.

In the interview, Erika talks about that journey and explains how she makes a living as an online dating consultant. But the best part might be her dating tips. This girl really knows her way around an online dating profile!
