Office Hours: The Interview & Hiring Process, Career Change, Resume, Cover Letter & More! - 5

You were appreciated. You were valued and you were moved throughout the company so. That type of job jumping is a never questioned job jumping where. We see progression in the title. You getting higher and higher and higher that's never an issue job jumping where the job title doesn't change and it just moves over and over again that's a red flag to employers and to recruiters okay. All right great question by the way let's see. What are the best search options for industry specific recruiters that's a great question. I personally would tell. You to use a free website.

That we mentioned here. All the time called recruit innet so it's the word recruit then. All one word recruit and net it's a website. That will let. You search by industry and by job title and it will give. You a list of LinkedIn profiles so in your case. You would search industry. You would search recruiter for the job and you would see. What would come up and you can add in more criteria too. You can even start to look for specific companies certain industries or agencies and find them it takes a little searching but once. You find that then.

You can reach out to them you can customize the connection request and get in touch but that's probably the single best way I've seen people be able to identify those Jennifer says. I was in a CSR leadership for several years. I have had no luck finding a remote position. I keep getting looked over despite having my resume professionally written. Where am I going wrong okay so Jennifer. I don't know enough about your job search right now but based on what I'm reading here. It sounds like you're applying to a lot of places online and you're not getting any response. If that's the case the reality is that's you and everybody else less.

Than three percent of people ever get contacted for jobs. That they apply to online especially. When you're talking about remote work. All of those jobs are gotten via networking you need a very targeted bucket list of employers. That you know hire for your skill set and that you know. You want to work for it and you know why you want to work for them and some specific reasons why not. Because they've got great benefits or you heard their wonderful place to for work but because. You respect and admire the work. That they're doing and can really talk to it from a knowledgeable standpoint. Once you've got. That list and this is what we teach. You in our job search plan then your job is to craft resumes and cover letters.

That are disruptive and that you will work to get in the actual hands of people at the company in order to get noticed may sound like a lot of work but let. Me tell you something it is far less work. Than the work. That I see people doing every day. They sit there and get blurry eyed looking for jobs. That they try to fit themselves into spending hours filling out online applications and then feeling completely defeated and depressed and unworthy. They don't hear. Anything back. We want you to conduct a proactive job search. Because it makes. You feel in control. It gives you power and more importantly. It lets you get a job at your dream company. I mean every single day. We have people inside our program saying I just landed an interview.

I was just told is the best cover letter they'd ever read. I just got my dream job at a bucket-list employer. This is the kind of stuff. We hear every day and work at daily it's fantastic and the reason is a nos. I would love to say its asset isn't it's the fact. That the folks. That use us are taking control of their job so my friend. You are worthy. You are valuable. You are talented. It is your process. That is not working it is not. You it is your process and so. You really got to disrupt your process and use the techniques. That are gonna get. You in front of the right people okay. All right Deirdre says my position was eliminated in December.

What is an employer going to think of the fact. That it has been three months and I still haven't found a job well Deirdre. I don't know. Where you're located but a couple of Statistics to consider the average job search in America is about nine months and that's generally. Because people don't know how to job search just. You know the other statistic that's pretty staggering is that for every $10000. That you want to make over $40000 a year. You need to add. Another month to your job search so. You know job job search can take in our program for example we've seen people anywhere from two months to six months but if you're looking for a job that's paying 70 80 90 thousand dollars then those jobs aren't a dime a dozen and so.

You have to factor in that it's going to take longer to find them so three months doesn't seem like a long time at all to me and I can tell. That recruiters don't look at that. Either historically research shows after about the six-month mark is the first signs of hesitation. That recruiters have about gee why have. You been out of work and after nine months then. It starts to become a lot. More questions around why do. You think it's taking you so long to find a job so you're clearly not. Even there you got. Another three months no problem and depending on the skill level. That you're at and the amount of salary you're looking to make.

That really could vary that's why you know. One can ever tell. You or guarantee. That you're going to get hired in 30 days or in 60 days. We can't do. It nobody can do. Because each one of you is so incredibly different. That being said. What you can control is how. You are going about this job search process are. You being efficient are. You being proactive do. You have a plan do. You have a bucket list is your resume designed to be six-second worthy are your cover letters disruptive is your LinkedIn profile keyword optimized is your interview prep done do. You have the answers to behavioral questions see. What I mean about job search is a skill and we're not taught to do. It there are. Some serious components here and the sooner. You get on top of all those opponents the more efficient. You can be which can reduce the time.

It takes you to find that position okay so. That helps there's a lot of moving parts there but we control. What we can control and that's what we're. All about it work at daily okay. All right team I'm sorry. I can't believe it's gone so fast here. We didn't get to all the questions. You know what to do come join. Us come join. Us and get your questions answered no problems otherwise. You can always come back next week and post your question and hopefully it'll get answered. I really enjoyed spending the last thirty minutes with. All of you as always great questions look keep at it work. It daily don't give up you've got. This right you can do. This I know that you can and I really hope. That we see. You inside the program. Because that's our favorite place to be that's for sure helping all of you okay alright. Everyone so great have a great rest of the week always awesome to be with. You take care okay bye everyone.
