Episode 182: Job Transition Plan with Jeff Brown: 3 Strategies to Apply When Interviewing for a New Job

Many people face the challenge of a job transition, whether it be from a reorganization or their own choice. When it comes your time to move into a new industry, role, or company, how can you ensure you approach the process the right way and acquire a job that’s aligned with your Brilliant Difference? 

Jeff Brown has the answers. Jeff has been through several job transitions and Edge Moves in his career. Born and raised in Toronto, his love for the city drives his work. His experience in human resources and operations was honed on Bay Street, leading transformational real estate projects in banking. This then led him to join The Heaps Estrin Team Real Estate Team, Royal LePage’s #1 Residential Brokerage in Canada for the past five years.  Jeff’s focus on developing and growing teams is a hallmark of his leadership. 

From entering banking during a financial crisis in 2009 to working in travel and hospitality when COVID-19 hit, Jeff shares his stories about not only how he successfully transitioned jobs, but the resilience he developed during times of adversity.
