1/ Hey Twitter, have you applied to 157 jobs this year and gotten a handful of interviews and still not a single offer?
[continue the thread]
2/ It’s been a rough year for many of us and being unemployed is a huge added stressor to that.
Here are a few of the main issues I’ve seen with students in my program.
3/ ISSUE #1
You’re limiting yourself to one single strategy - applying on job boards.
Job boards have a really low success rate. Unless your resume and skill set is really outstanding, you’re competing against HUNDREDS of other applicants and your chances are low.
4/ ISSUE #2
You’re not being intentional.
It may seem like the right approach to browse and apply for whatever kind of fits.
But you’re fitting a square peg in a round hole.
So the opposite. Sit down and design your next role. Wants, work, companies and deal breakers.
5/ ISSUE #3
You’re up in your own head.
You’ve written and rewritten your resume a hundred times. You FEEL EXHAUSTED and are using a lot of energy, but aren’t actually applying to very many jobs.
Focus on outreach and connections. Talk to everyone you know!
