Did you know that in the 1970s your resume was supposed to include personal information such as your height and weight? Did you know that in the 1990s the newspapers had multiple pages of job openings in them every day? Did you know that in the 1990s faxing resumes was considered acceptable? Do you expect to use the same best practices for job search in 2019 and beyond? 

Finding the best jobs today is done far differently than in the past. Change is inevitable, thus we must change with it in order to be successful in our quest for new jobs.

Today the benefits of job boards are changing. It is no longer the best practice to spend hour after hour searching job boards and applying to as many jobs as possible every day.

As more and more jobs show up in what is often called the ‘hidden job market’, we have to find ways to uncover these opportunities.

One of the skill sets we don’t invest enough time learning to do, or actually using enough is open conversations.  This will be the most powerful toolset you will need in your career journey today and for the unforeseeable future. The ability to meet with people, ask questions, listen and learn will help you discover new ideas, new opportunities, and new jobs.

We are told routinely by recruiters, hiring managers and human resource professionals that we need to pay attention to the job openings they list online and apply for these jobs in order to get hired.

Yes, this process may be necessary, however, it’s not the starting point. There are many more steps you need to make in order to find your next great job. 

We discuss these steps and introduce you to new ways to perform them so you can be successful in your own Career Journey.
