Career TipsJob Search Sucks!
Job searching often feels like hitting a wall.
Apply, apply, apply, and wait.
What if you could track real progress?
Imagine consistent feedback.
Every day brings new learning.
Four weeks in, you’re 40% there.
By week 10, expect to land a great job.
It feels less frustrating this way.
Here are 5 ways to get there:
- 𝑷𝒊𝒄𝒌 𝒂 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄 𝑱𝒐𝒃 𝑻𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒆:
Be specific, not general.
Example: “Social Media Coordinator at a <50 employee startup”
It gets more referrals than “online marketing”.
- 𝑼𝒔𝒆 𝑳𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒆𝒅𝑰𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑰𝒏𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘𝒔:
Find people in your dream job.
Setup a 15-min virtual coffee.
Ask about their experiences.
You’ll get insights and possibly referrals.
- 𝑬𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌:
If the job fits, network.
If not, revise your job title and repeat.
- 𝑵𝒆𝒕𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌 𝑨𝒈𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒚:
Email contacts bi-weekly.
Connect with hiring managers.
Attend meetups.
Specific requests get more responses.
- 𝑳𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑭𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌:
Post-interview, ask contacts for feedback.
Improve continuously until you land the job.
This approach is structured.
And hopefully less anxious.
You will know your progress at any point.
It will help land you a better job than the traditional resume blast.
Hope that helps.
Pace yourself, I believe in you!
