43. Jill Katz: How to Discover your Sparkle
Show Notes

Jill Katz has had a fabulous career in Human Resources at companies that many of us dream of working in. She has served as a Vice President in leading apparel brands like Calvin Klein and Ann Taylor, media firm IAC and the renowned retailer Macy’s.

The lessons she shares both from her own career and her insights as a senior HR leader, can be immensely valuable for you. 
  
  In this episode, Jill and I talk about:
  
  - How she got hired at her first job right out of college, then how she got hired at Calvin Klein and how the two experiences couldn’t have been more different!

- Underwear! Yes, we talked about the intimate apparel business at Calvin Klein, and how she ran the people operations there and much more

- Her 70-pound (31 kilos) weight loss journey and what it meant to share it publicly on LinkedIn

- How she had a successful, very senior, very well rewarded role at Macy’s and yet, felt something missing. This is something many of you will relate to. 

- What made Jill leave the corporate world behind without any plan, and the steps she took to start her HR Consulting firm - Assemble HR.

- Most importantly, she shares her insight on how to discover your sparkle, that helps you to stand out in job interviews 

This is a longer conversation than usual, and worth every single minute, trust me!
