Breaking Through the Job Search Clutter: Practical Tips for Today's Market
In today's episode, inspired by an email from a VIP email list subscriber, I discuss strategies to stand out in a competitive job market. The episode emphasizes the necessity of applying through job boards despite their limitations, suggests maintaining a job search spreadsheet for organization, and provides detailed advice on leveraging LinkedIn. Specific tips include following and engaging with company pages to increase visibility and using LinkedIn features to notify recruiters of your interest. I also underscore the importance of balancing job board applications with networking efforts for a more effective job search.
