In this episode of the PM-ProShow, we sit down with Karen Ngo, CEO Communications Manager at Microsoft and creator of the #1 ranked career blog kkarenism, to talk about one of the biggest challenges facing professionals today: translating experience into opportunity.

Karen shares how she built her own career journey, why networking unlocks the hidden job market, and how she uses the Career Walking Deck—a visual storytelling tool designed to help candidates stand out beyond a traditional resume—to help job seekers land senior-level roles.

We dive into:

• Why your career story matters more than your job title
• How veterans can translate military experience into corporate value
• Why a resume gets you the interview, but storytelling can get you the offer
• The power of personal branding and vulnerability in professional settings
• How certifications and continuous learning build long-term career growth

Whether you're preparing for a military transition, advancing your career, or looking for ways to communicate your value more effectively, Karen provides practical strategies to help you sharpen your edge and take control of your professional story.
