<p><em>How to turn curiosity, clarity, and AI into your most powerful job search tools.</em></p><p><br />Job search isn’t just about landing your next role—it’s about understanding who you are and how you want to show up in the world. According to <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/andrew-seaman/">Andrew Seaman</a>, Senior Managing Editor for Jobs and Career Development at LinkedIn, that process begins with curiosity, not certainty. “People assume they need to apply to dozens of jobs with a perfect résumé,” he explains. “But the best applications are rooted in self-awareness and strategy—not spray-and-pray.”</p><p>Instead of rushing to the next opportunity, Seaman encourages job seekers to slow down, ask better questions, and prioritize conversations over checklists. From informational interviews to profile updates, clarity is key—knowing what you want and telling a story that shows why you’re the right fit.<br />With tools like LinkedIn’s Job Match and natural-language job search, candidates can now assess how they align with a role—and where they can grow. “It’s not just about being qualified,” Seaman says. “It’s about showing the value you bring.”<br />In this episode of <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/"><em>Think Fast, Talk Smart</em></a>, Seaman joins host Matt Abrahams for our <em>Catalyze Your Career</em> miniseries to share how to job search with intention. Using Matt’s “Four I’s” framework—identifying, investigating, initiating contact, and interviewing—they explore how strategic storytelling, thoughtful networking, and AI tools can help you stand out in a crowded market.</p><p><strong>Episode Reference Links:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/andrew-seaman/">Andrew Seaman</a></li><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/184-fit-or-quit-find-the-job-that-is-right-for-you-catalyze-your-career/">Ep.184 Fit or Quit?

When President Trump announced his sweeping new tariffs this year, many trade law experts were startled. Typically, presidents don't have the authority to impose broad tariffs with a snap of their fingers.<br /><br />But Trump's advisors have an unusual new legal theory. They say that as long as there's a national emergency of some kind, Trump may be able to create whatever tariffs he wants. This is a creative interpretation of a 1977 law called the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, or IEEPA. To justify his latest tariffs, the president declared national emergencies involving illegal immigration, the fentanyl crisis, and the trade deficit.<br /><br />But no president has ever tried to use the law in this way. <br /><br />Now, the fate of Trump's tariffs — and the creative legal theory behind them — lies with the courts. About a dozen lawsuits have challenged his tariffs, claiming that they are unlawful and possibly even unconstitutional. And some judges have started to agree.<br /><br />On today's show: What are the President's powers when it comes to tariffs? Where do they come from? What are their limits? And, what will be the fate of Trump's tariffs?<br /><br />For more on Trump's tariffs:<br /> - <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/16/1251782092/tariff-us-china-pause-trade-war">The 145% tariff already did its damage<br /></a> - <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/09/1243652738/tariffs-trump-trade-deficit-white-house">Do trade deficits matter?<br /></a> - <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/05/07/1249592921/tariff-customs-made-in-america-china-france">What "Made in China" actually means<br /></a><br /><em>Find more </em>Planet Money<em>: </em><a href="https://n.pr/3h92GwS"><em>Facebook</em></a><em> / </em><a href="https://n.pr/3FqLuws"><em>Instagram</em></a><em> / </em><a href="https://n.pr/3sGZdrq"><em>TikTok</em></a><em> / Our weekly </em><a href="https://n.pr/3zrFvUB"><em>Newsletter</em></a><em>.<br /><br />Help support </em>Planet Money<em> and hear our bonus episodes by subscribing to </em>Planet Money<em>+ </em><a href="http://n.pr/PM-digital"><em>in Apple Podcasts</em></a><em> or at </em><a href="https://n.pr/3HlREPz"><em>plus.npr.org/planetmoney</em></a><em>.</em><br /><br />Learn more about sponsor message choices: <a href="https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices">podcastchoices.com/adchoices</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.npr.org/about-npr/179878450/privacy-policy">NPR Privacy Policy</a>

As prime minister of New Zealand from 2017 to 2023, Jacinda Ardern managed one challenge after another: from natural disasters to a terrorist attack to the Covid-19 pandemic. To navigate that complexity, she had to learn how to gather experts and gain consensus on decisions even when information was scant or changing, to transparently communicate her plan of action, and to convey both calm and compassion, all while avoiding burnout.  Ardern offers advice to business leaders grappling with geopolitical and economic uncertainty and disruption. She's the author of the book A Different Kind of Power.

<p><em>Amidst constant change, clear communication is the key to navigating uncertainty.</em></p><p><br /></p><p>How do you communicate with others when you’re confused yourself? For <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/robert-siegel/">Rob Siegel</a>, leadership isn’t about avoiding uncertainty, it’s about embracing the clarity that ambiguity can bring.</p><p>"What if ambiguity is the new normal?" asks Siegel, a venture investor and lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business. From rapidly evolving AI to ratcheting geopolitical tensions, every day brings a “crisis du jour,” he says. “I may like it, I may not like it. That doesn't really matter, but I've gotta get my team through it."</p><p>In his latest book, <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/the-systems-leader/"><em>The Systems Leader: Mastering the Cross Pressures That Make or Break Today's Companies</em></a>, Siegel explores how leaders today are “living in dualities,” caught between managing existing processes and adapting to emerging disruptions. “The sooner we get comfortable with [change] in the sense of ‘I don't have to like it, but I can deal with it,’ then [we can] lead our teams and give them the calm to know they can get through this.”</p><p>In this episode of <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/"><em>Think Fast, Talk Smart</em></a>, Siegel and host Matt Abrahams explore how to communicate effectively amidst constant change. From preparation strategies for spontaneous speaking to building trust through candid conversations, Siegel offers practical tips for communicating with clarity when nothing is certain but change.</p><p><em>To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit </em><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/premium/"><em>FasterSmarter.io/premium</em></a></p><p><strong>Episode Reference Links:</strong></p><ul><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/guests/robert-siegel/">Robert Siegel</a></li><li>Rob’s Book: <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/the-systems-leader/">The Systems Leader</a></li><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/35-leading-from-the-hot-seat-how-to-communicate-under-pressure/">Ep.35 Leading From The Hot Seat: How To Communicate Under Pressure</a></li><li><a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/37-be-better-how-communication-catalyzes-business-transformation/">Ep.37 Be Better: How Communication Catalyzes Business Transformation</a>  <p></p></li></ul><p><strong>Connect:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Premium Signup</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/premium/">Think Fast Talk Smart Premium</a></li><li><strong>Email Questions &amp; Feedback </strong>&gt;&gt;&gt; [email protected]</li><li><strong>Episode Transcripts</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="https://www.fastersmarter.io/208-ambiguity-to-action-tensions-and-trade-offs-of-leadership-and-communication/"> Think Fast Talk Smart Website</a></li><li><strong>Newsletter Signup + English Language Learning</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="http://fastersmarter.io/"> FasterSmarter.io</a></li><li><strong>Think Fast Talk Smart</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/think-fast-talk-smart/"> LinkedIn</a>,<a href="https://www.instagram.com/thinkfasttalksmart/"> Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6caGRBUYZCmgDGM2RK6mxKB9jG_ccmm3">YouTube</a></li><li><strong>Matt Abrahams</strong> &gt;&gt;&gt;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/maabrahams/"> LinkedIn</a></li></ul><p><br /><strong>Chapters:</strong></p><p></p><ul><li>(00:00) - Introduction </li> <li>(01:50) - Adapting Leadership for Uncertainty </li> <li>(03:14) - Systems Leadership and Cross Pressures </li> <li>(04:36) - Communication and Context </li> <li>(05:22) - Framing Complex Ideas </li> <li>(06:17) - Innovation vs. Execution </li> <li>(08:07) - Leading Through Ambiguity </li> <li>(09:29) - Short-Term vs. Long-Term Focus </li> <li>(12:40) - Balancing Strength and Empathy </li> <li>(15:22) - Leadership with Humanity </li> <li>(16:38) - Engaging Students Effectively </li> <li>(19:56) - The Final Three Questions </li> <li>(24:11) - Conclusion </li> </ul> <br /><p> *****<br />This episode is brought to you by <a href="https://get.babbel.com/eg_podcast_flags_ame_usa-en?bsc=podcast-thinkfast&amp;btp=default&amp;utm_campaign=podcast-thinkfast&amp;utm_content=podcast..thinkfast..usa..internal&amp;utm_medium=podcast&amp;utm_source=thinkfast&amp;utm_term=generic_v1">Babbel</a>.
