10 Actions to Support Your Job Search
Doing several recent client job searches have given me ideas that will benefit your search.
I have been laid off and know what it’s like to be in a job search. It can be pretty stressful. The shorter time you’re unemployed, the better.
I have also done several job searches for clients recently, and with each search I encounter more actions I think will be helpful to those looking for a new job.
Here are 10 actions that I think will help you during your search:
1. Apply for positions that match your experience with the needs of the organization.
2. Ensure your resume and cover letter have no typos by self-editing before sending.
3. Use your resume as a template; make additions and changes to it based on the requirements of the position to which you are applying.
4. If applying through a third-party, like Indeed, make sure you have attached everything the organization requires to apply, for example a cover letter.
5. Continuing with third-party, if they ask screening questions, answer them. If you cannot answer them based on your experience, do not apply.
