The dreaded desire to get hired... there's a waiting game, and that can feel annoying, frustrating, sad, it can be an emotional rollercoaster. We hate to hear the answer: "It Depends" In this episode, I explain why and talk about it further.
In this episode we talk about:
1) The average time it takes to get hired
2) Networking should be your best friend
3) Smart Goals
4) Growing your skillset
5) Finding a mentor
A recap of some of what we discussed:
On average it takes anywhere from 3-6 months and there’s an average of an 8% chance of getting a call back from the job you applied to. So approximately as high as 20 applications could be needed and then there are the interview phases. Interviews are also a sense of where you grow as a job seeker.
Networking should be your best friend. I was actually having a conversation with someone and spoke about how networking should have been used LONG ago. She was wondering why she didn't do it at the beginning of her career because it gets to be easy. It enhances your confidence.
Track and analyze what you do, I find it so important. We tend to be like nothing working screaming and pulling our hair out yet we don't have any idea why.
Creating a tracker with all the jobs you applied for, interviewed, or networked with, will really help you understand how can you enhance what you’re weak in maybe you interviewed a bit but haven't gotten that offer, so maybe some work can be needed there. You won't know what it is unless you track it.
Another one is to Grow your skill sets. Maybe there's a certification that can help you or a class you can take that can be added to your resume even those LinkedIn learning courses are great. Take advantage of what's out there, sometimes those added knowledge points will help you so much with your quality as a candidate.
