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.

Conversations reveal what’s really happening...

I was just… sharing what felt true in the moment. But lately, something clicked.

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.

And in those moments, it’s easy...
