    2026/01/07

    In this episode of Careering With Cameron, Kevin discusses how to successfully transition into the new year by maximizing the unique "downtime" between December and January. He explores why many people fail at their resolutions and provides a blueprint for career search success, emphasizing that "activity almost solves everything" when it comes to finding your next role.

    Kevin Cameron shares actionable tips on avoiding the "Monday trap," leveraging LinkedIn for networking, and utilizing AI tools like ChatGPT to improve your professional capabilities. Whether you are a student looking for an internship or a professional navigating outplacement, this episode offers the strategy needed to launch into 2026 with confidence.

    Key Takeaways

    Consistency is the hardest but most vital part of the process; it is much harder to restart than to stay engaged.

    Don't wait for a specific Monday or the 1st of the month to begin your goals; start as soon as you have a plan.

    Prioritize your three hardest tasks at the start of the week to create an "emotional lift" and clear your desk for easier projects.

    Episode Highlights

    The importance of self-care and finding exercise or hobbies you actually enjoy to sustain your energy.

    How to use the holiday season to reconnect with your network via LinkedIn while the "pace is faster" for responses.

    Improving your skills through webinars and online courses to "identify and brush up" on data or coding.
