Welcome to Career Talk by Anand Vaishampayan
Hi, I’m Anand, a Career Strategist, keynote speaker, and founder of Career Talk Academy.
After spending more than 20 years in the corporate world across India and the United States and leading teams of over 200+ people, I transitioned into full-time career coaching and content creation.
Today, I teach what most people never learn in school, college, or even during years of corporate work: how to grow your career with clarity, confidence, and strategy.
What I Do
I help early-career, mid-career, and senior professionals:
- Find better job opportunities
- Build high-impact resumes
- Navigate job search with confidence
- Grow faster in their careers
- Strengthen their LinkedIn presence
- Stay relevant in the age of Artificial Intelligence
I’m also a LinkedIn and YouTube creator with a combined community of 300,000+ followers, where I share practical frameworks, real stories, and honest career advice.
My YouTube channel has over 21 million views and more than 800+ videos, all created to simplify complex career topics.
Why I Started This Blog
Over the years, I’ve coached thousands of professionals and noticed something very important:
Most people are hardworking and talented, they just need direction, clarity, and the right strategy.
This blog is my attempt to make career growth simpler and more accessible for everyone.
Here, I share:
- Resume optimization tips
- Job search strategies
- Career planning frameworks
- Productivity ideas
- Insights on future-ready skills and AI
- Lessons from my coaching and corporate experiences
If you’re looking to grow in your career, change jobs, or simply understand what to do next, you’re in the right place.
