Tips for your next job search

 

1) Update Your Resume: Tailor your resume to the role so that the recruiter and hiring manager can easily align the skills you have to the ones they need. With each job you apply for, you may need to make small tweaks, but the potential benefits of landing the perfect job far outweigh the effort you put forth. 2) Make It Searchable: Optimize your resume with keywords so that it appeals to search engines and gets in front of the people you want to impress. Do some keyword research to identify the terms and phrases related to the job you want.

3) Assess Your Personal Brand: Your personal brand includes your resume and your digital footprint. What does your online presence look like? How do people perceive you, and how do you want  them to perceive you? Your LinkedIn profile may be the first thing potential employers see, so start there and make sure it is as current and relevant as your resume.

4) Network! Network! Network! Get advice from people you know who recently changed jobs. Find out what worked for them and how they landed their new position. When you find an opportunity that excites you, connect with someone at the company via email or LinkedIn. Finding the right recruiter can also help you streamline your job search and uncover opportunities you may not have found on your own.
