Summary
What is THE most effective way to job hunt now?
Networking has been and still is the best way to land a new job. 70% of all jobs are never advertised.
What is different with resume writing?
With so much more competition for each job, your resume must get through the applicant tracking system known as ATS. That means you have to be very careful not to use a creative style resume or a format that is not going to work with ATS.
How has Job interviewing changed?
All interviews are now conducted online. This has proven to be a lot harder for an employer to make their decision when they can’t see you in person. Employers are adding on more interviews, and some are also using an interview question video response before you even talk to the hiring manager.
What about LinkedIn?
Everyone needs to have a completed LinkedIn profile as part of their career management. 98% of recruiters say that they are looking for talent on LinkedIn. That means you must have an up-to-date profile, current photograph, SEO-effective headline, the right information under experience that will market you to the employer.
