Do you know why you don't get any interview calls? Because your resume is sitting in someone's spam folder. The jobs are posted online only because the companies have to. They are required by the law to advertise the job to a certain number of people. Eventually, they are either filled by Someone who already works there, Or someone who comes through a referral. (In very rare occasions when they don't find any good candidates, then they look at the online applications) So, build your network. Reach out to hiring managers. Reach out to people working in your target role. Reach out to C-suite Executives. Remember, you only need one 'YES'. ----- Follow me for more content like this! #jobhunt #networking #careertips

My question to everyone struggling to get a job is this… “Why do you continue doing the same thing that doesn’t work - and then blame the system for failing?” Here’s the brutal truth. 99% of all job seekers are repeating the same routine. Here’s the insane routine. 1. Googles resume templates. 2. Grabs prettiest resume & replace with their info. 3. Goes to indeed, zip recruiter, LinkedIn & spam applies to every job. That’s the process. It’s the most insane repeated behavior and is a proven path to failure. If you repeat the same actions that have always led to failure - you’re the problem - not the system. In 2024 and onwards - you have to stand out in the interview process through preparation and intention. This isn’t tinder - if you’re swiping right on every job application you get you’re eyes on… you will NEVER be hired. IF you want to get a job in the next 3-6 months - here’s what you do. 1. Build a list of 5 companies you love that have a track record for hiring people with your background. 2. Contact 3-5 people within those companies who where hired with similar backgrounds. 3. Discuss with them how they made the jump, and what suggestions they had for you. 4. Ask them how your skills relate to their when they first started? If they are similar - ask if they would be comfortable putting you in contact with the individual responsible for hiring? Principle: It’s not WHAT you know. It’s WHO you know. This process is simple and time consuming. But my students have a 17% success rate when useing this system. If you aren’t doing things different than everyone else - you will fail. I’m not here to be anyone's friend - my mission is to give power to marginalized and low-income communities. This is possible through the transparent, proven, and effective strategies I teach. If you are looking to make a career transition and are facing nothing but failure - my content for you.

I always come on here with some or other interview or career hack so why not do another! I get loads of applications and in a candidate short market - I look at ALL OF THEM!

If you do believe you're a good fit for a role try it out and good luck! #applications #jobsearch #recruitment

Hey there! If you're looking to approach a recruiter, here are some tips to help you out. First, it's important to know that recruiters are looking for candidates who can help them fill roles, so you need to show them how you can add value. Before you reach out, make sure your LinkedIn profile and resume are up-to-date and that you're ready to interview. You should also do some research on the recruiter and the types of roles they recruit for. If you can't find the name of the recruiter who posted a job, try searching LinkedIn using the name of the company plus the word “recruiter” or “sourcer.” Once you've found the right recruiter, include the job opening you're interested in, provide the link to the online posting, and describe your applicable skills and capabilities. Use keywords from the job description to show how you can add value to the role and company. Good luck! . . . #resumewriting #resume #resumetips #resumewriter #resumeservices #theresumepro #resumehelp #jobsearch #resumedesign #resumes #resumeadvice #resumebuilder #career #resumetemplate #cv #careercoach #jobs #resumeservice #coverletter #resumebuilding #careergoals #interviewtips #careerdevelopment #job #resumereview #careeradvice #jobseekers #jobinterview #interview #careerchange

Truth. The interviewing/hiring process needs major revamping. Too many of us are looking for employment and expected to always be on our A game. Shouldn’t the hiring companies have to do the same? My biggest SMH moment with a recruiter this year: R: So are you an American citizen or will you need to sponsored? Me: I’m a citizen (in my head I’m thinking those two questions are required to be answered to complete every application I’ve ever completed-wouldn’t you look there first?) R: How did you hear about this company? Me: I worked for this company before (In my head- for 15 years-Did you even look at my resume?)
