The fastest way to open new doors in your job search
In Between Acts · Issue #5 · November 2025 Clarity begins in the pause between endings and beginnings ✉️ From Gladys Hi Reader, Let me be direct: If you’re not networking intentionally right now, you’re probably missing out on opportunities that never make it to job boards. Here’s why networking still matters and why it’s easier than you think: It gets you seen. Most roles are filled through referrals, not cold applications. It helps you learn. Conversations reveal what’s really happening...
No One is An Island
In Between Acts · Issue #3 · October 2025 Clarity begins in the pause between endings and beginnings ✉️ From Gladys Hi friend, This week feels electric, doesn’t it? Halloween 🎃 and Día de los Muertos 💀 are right around the corner — and then boom — it’s the rush to the New Year. Before we hit that year-end sprint, I’ve got a busy and exciting week myself: I’m heading to Albany this weekend to present at a conference and putting the finishing touches on a brand-new workshop for YOU (and your...
The Power of Community
In Between Acts · Issue #2 · October 2025 Clarity begins in the pause between endings and beginnings Hola Mi Gente! That's "Hello, my people!" if you're not a Spanish speaker... But you probably know this already. As we close out Hispanic Heritage Month today, I have to tell you about my time at the #HOLAAwards on Monday, October 13th. This'll be a post about my creative life and pursuits in case you haven't figured that out yet, so it's definitely "in between acts." HOLA stands for Hispanic...
Welcome to In Between Acts

I was just… sharing what felt true in the moment. But lately, something clicked. I realized everything I’ve been writing - about transitions, pauses, and new beginnings - belongs together under one idea: In Between Acts. Welcome to In...
A “fork in the road” and what it can mean for your next step
GLADYS PÉREZ COACH | ACTOR | SPEAKER Hi Reader, Yesterday, September 30th, was what some are calling a “fork in the road” day. For thousands of federal employees, it marked both the end of long careers in public service and the uncertainty of a government shutdown. A double blow. A moment that engenders grief as well as faith. Even if you’re not a federal worker, you might know this feeling: the sudden pause, the unexpected ending, the shift you didn’t choose. And in those moments, it’s easy...
AI can write a resume — but it can’t do this.
GLADYS PÉREZ COACH | ACTOR | SPEAKER Hi friend, Up until two years ago, most people came to me for a polished resume and LinkedIn profile to help them stand out in the job search. Back then, my work was focused on writing strong, tailored materials that opened doors. But the job search world has changed tremendously in just the past two years, and with it, so has my approach. With powerful AI tools now available, anyone can generate a clean, keyword-optimized resume in minutes. These tools do...
An opportunity to get your stuff done before the holiday weekend - Co-work with me!
Hi, Reader - I don't know about you, but I'm reeling from the fact that we're facing down Labor Day weekend here in the U.S. Otherwise known as the end of summer, Labor Day is actually about celebrating the labor movement and workers' rights. To that end, I think we should have a co-working sesh on Friday afternoon to make space for those of us who are working for ourselves and/or in between gigs. Are you up for it? If so, join me for 90 minutes of co-working from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern...
