Episode Description from the Publisher

A tough CMO job search can mess with your confidence fast. The search runs longer than expected. A role looks right on paper, then gets murkier as the conversations unfold. The company says it wants growth, but the real issue may be churn, product, or a CEO still figuring out what kind of marketing leader the business needs. That's what makes this market hard.  You are not only trying to tell a strong story about yourself. You are also trying to judge whether the opportunity in front of you is one you can win in. Executive recruiter Erica Seidel, founder of The Connective Good, has a front-row seat to how CMO hiring is working right now.
