The February Newsletter

Hello crew! I’ve officially decided the newsletter will ~always~ be an end of month send, because the months really be getting away from me here. Luckily February had a lottt of content, so if you use these for round-up purposes I got you covered in the bottom section of this one.

Personally, things are good and busy and in flux! All the usual themes, but I’m having so much fun. I’m writing this from the apartment I’ve been staying in LA the past few months (with some of my besties), BUT I got the keys to my new place yesterday. I loveee the new home so much, I’m just in that awkward stage of waiting for movers and nothing being “fully ready.”

That being said, this group is keeping me busy as I’m in “waiting mode” with all the interviews, offers, and momentum as always. I hope February treated you well and that March is even better! Especially if you’re on the East Coast and have been battling these wild winter storms, Spring can’t come soon enough. 💐

My New Podcast - “Ask Marnie”

If you missed it, I launched my own podcast! After planning this for literal years, I decided 2026 was the right time to finally make it happen.

The format of the show will be very similar to the 3 in 30 episodes on Career Contessa if you know me from that series: less than 30 minutes and more “tip” focused, but also lots of personal stuff sprinkled in there. You can submit your questions for future episodes directly here!

The Current Episode List

🎙️ Episode 3 - Marnie’s Full Career Story

Content Round-Up: My Top Tips from February ❤️

Job Search

If you are full-time job searching right now, and need some inspiration on how to structure your days ...

If you’re in the job search right now and you’re thinking, “Wow, this is so gnarly. This is so complicated. I feel like I’m not doing anything right,” here’s the good news…

There's an “initiation process” in the job search, and if you’re not aware it exists you’ll see it as a you problem … but it’s actually a shared struggle.

Interview Prep

I've recently been thinking about how to distill all my job interview advice into a "secret formula." 

Why you're getting final round interviews, but no job offers and how to fix it.

If you're interviewing right now and you're naturally a very extroverted, expressive person

If you are an introvert, you have a better shot at doing well in job interviews.

The whole point of interviewing is for you to feel confident.

Interview Questions

Nothing matters more than how you start an interview and specifically how you start the answer to “Tell Me About Yourself”

If you are interviewing, please avoid two specific words when someone asks you, “Why do you want this role?” in a job interview.

The most underrated struggle of a job interview is remembering what's actually happened in your career.

If you are in the vicious cycle of trying to figure out every possible question that could be asked in a job interview, we’re going to fix that.

Resume

I’ve done 9 resume reviews in the past week and ironically the most common mistake I've seen is tied to using "as many metrics as possible". 

Salary Negotiation

We've lost the plot on how to negotiate job offers, and I'm saying this with a lot of confidence.

LinkedIn

Need more job interviews? You need to be using LinkedIn properly.

Let’s talk about how to get your next job interview from LinkedIn. 

Words of Encouragement 🫶

If I could summarize what success looks like in ambitious women.

As always, don’t hesitate to respond to this email or reach out on socials with any content you want to see in future newsletters.

I’m sending you all the good vibes! 💫 ✨

Your Supplement Routine, Organized.

You're taking 8+ supplements. You can't remember when half of them expire. And you definitely don't know if they overlap. Get the SuppCo app to track nutrients, get scheduling alerts, and see what you're actually taking. It’s your health, don’t make it complicated.
