The Marketing Career Clinic: New Year, New Job? Job Hunting and Getting Interview Ready

Every January, the same thought creeps in. Is it time for something new? And if it is, where do you even start when you haven’t job hunted in years?

Let’s be honest… job hunting is exhausting at the best of times. Scrolling through job boards, rewriting your CV, wondering whether anyone actually reads your application. Then there’s the interview itself, which can feel like a completely different world if it’s been a while.

In this Marketing Career Clinic, Olivia is joined by a panel of three experienced marketers: Crystal, Ana and Sophie. They’ll share honest, practical advice on knowing when to move on, finding roles beyond the usual places and walking into your next interview feeling prepared.

Meet the guest speakers:

Ana Rogerson is a marketing professional turned entrepreneur with 13 years of experience in B2B technology. She went from Marketing Intern in 2010 to Marketing Director and Head of EMEA Marketing in 2023, working for UK and US SMEs along the way. Having studied in Bucharest, Paris and Preston, Ana brings an international perspective and plenty of experience from both sides of the hiring table.

Crystal Nyarko is a marketing strategist, brand storyteller and the founder of Clear Narrative Media, a consultancy that helps founders, creatives and organisations turn their message into movements. With over eight years of experience across charity, media, property, health and e-commerce, Crystal knows first-hand what it takes to move between industries and make your experience count.

Sophie Logan is a PPC Specialist with over 11 years of marketing experience, recently named one of the Top 50 Most Influential PPC Experts of 2026. She’s Community & Editorial Manager at Rough Agenda, where she helps shape the speaker line-ups and communities for brightonSEO and HeroConf, and runs her own lead gen paid media consultancy, Marketing Soph. Sophie is also a Girls in Marketing mentor, a Paid Search Association board member and a regular speaker at events including SMX London and Friends of Search.

We’ll cover:

• How to tell whether you really need a new role, and when it’s worth trying to fix things where you are first

• Where good marketing roles are actually being found, beyond the LinkedIn job board

• Why your network matters, and how to warm it back up if it’s gone a bit quiet

• Moving industries or niches, and how to tell your story so it works in your favour

• Getting interview ready when you haven’t interviewed in a while, from task-based interviews to talking confidently about your wins

The final 15 minutes are open for your questions, so bring whatever’s on your mind about your next move!
