Five facts to improve your job search.
We are more than halfway through 2023. If one of your goals this year was to find a new job, it's not too late. In fact, it's perfect timing. Here are five facts to help improve your job search.
Networking outweighs a good resume. Nearly EVERY TIME. It's an age-old saying that still rings true today, it's not what you know but WHO you know. Shamelessly use those contacts to see who's hiring and who can help get your name in front of the right people.
When you submit your resume matters.
It is better to apply to jobs that have just been posted. The longer the job has been posted, the less likely your resume is to get read.
It takes an average of SIX MONTHS to find a new job.
You read that right, six months. It takes a lot of work and a lot of applying to many different jobs before one hits. Start now if your goal is to be in a new career in 2024.
Recruiters rely on LinkedIn.
It is your most powerful self-marketing tool! Make sure your LinkedIn is optimized and up-to-date. Showcase your skills and highlight what you will bring to the table in your next role.
Landing an Interview is a numbers game.
We don't mean apply to an absurd number of jobs, we mean apply with INTENTION to every job. Take time to craft a specific resume for each role. Quality over quantity and well-tailored applications are the ones that will stand out and get the interview!
