Career Composer
Career Composer is a career and life advice podcast “Helping YOU, professionals under 30, navigate your careers with a music-themed twist!” Truly the first of its kind, Career Composer mixes expert career advice with fresh music variety that leaves listeners feeling inspired and motivated to take action.
So how does this work exactly? Your host, Erin Ahart, wipes the dust off traditional career concepts and uses music analogies, current events, and storytelling to explain the career advice she provides every day. As a full-time career counselor, Gallup-certified CliftonStrengths Coach, and pianist, she knows that leaning into our passions is the key to figuring out what we’re meant to do.
Did you know that a cover letter can be formatted like a love letter, or that Clara Schumann and Johannes Brahms had a steamy love affair? Are you deciding whether to go to grad school and want to hear from other 20-somethings who have recently been in your shoes? Do you desperately need to get those job applications out, but just want to talk about Taylor Swift? Look no further, Career Composer has it all.

Job Searching is Like the Dating Apps
Season 2 is HERE! Career Composer is back and today's episode is a spicy one! And honestly, it might hit a little too close to home...
...Because job searching is like the DATING APPS.
Whether you're swiping right or hitting "apply" on your favorite job search platform, the similarities are real! We cover:
- Why job searching and dating apps feel exactly the same
- What filters CAN and CAN'T do for you in your job search and on the dating apps
- Fake jobs and fake dating profiles
- Why cyber-stalking is actually smart before interviews and dates!
- The importance of knowing what your dealbreakers are so you don't waste time in your job search and on the apps
- Why confidence is so incredibly important in all areas of life!
Moral of the story: "If companies and people are not behaving properly in the beginning, they are probably a WHOLE LOT WORSE when their goal is not to attract you anymore!!!"
Today's episode is just a rant - one that I think we all need! Erin will be back with her expert career advice all season long. Thanks for listening!
