I ended May strong by attending an inTulsa webinar! Job Search Strategy for Career Transitioners - May 30, 2024 It seems everybody has heard of Tulsa Remote, but there is also inTulsa! inTulsa connects innovative businesses with diverse talent—in other words, they help local Tulsans get jobs! They regularly host events, and I finally got to attend one virtually. This webinar was right up my alley because it was tailored for career pivoters, transitioners, and individuals seeking new opportunities who have had long-term employment at one company. This is definitely a pivot! Here’s what I learned! - https://lnkd.in/g_RbyTSz has been revamped compared to when I tried to use it last year! It has more filters! Less rage! -  https://lnkd.in/gNBCnDy7 exists, and has a lot of handy articles, career advice, and a bunch of other goodies I can read throughout June! There’s even a podcast! - Tools like Grammarly and Canva can help you write/design cover letters or introductory letters that you can then use at Network Fairs and Job Fairs so people remember you. - Free resources like Hiration and Teal can help tailor resumes for each application using keywords from job descriptions. The webinar provided deep insights into navigating LinkedIn and Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), crafting impactful resumes, and effectively communicating our skills. It also highlighted the importance of networking and building a versatile career roadmap. I think events like these are nice. In the words of Sylvester Stallone, "Do you think it's easy being this good?" This webinar reassured me that I'm on the right path, even if it feels like a long, dark hallway at times. And as Stallone also said, "My hobby is keeping busy," which resonates perfectly with my commitment to continuous learning and career development. It’s also nice that I learned a couple new things AND learned about a couple new tools that I can use to try to get my foot into the tech space.  If you’re considering a career pivot, I highly recommend checking out InTulsa's resources and events!

Pro Tip for Job Seekers As a Talent Acquisition, I’ve reviewed countless CVs everyday, and one thing consistently stands out - the power of customization! Tailor your CV to the role you’re applying for. Highlight the skills and experiences that align with the job description. It shows recruiters you’ve done your homework and can hit the ground running. For example: If a role emphasizes project management, share specific achievements where you successfully led projects or contributed to their success. Numbers and results speak volumes! Small changes can make a big difference in standing out in a competitive job market. Let’s make 2025 the year of career breakthroughs! Cheers!

https://lnkd.in/g4eCE4nn A very interesting video to watch if you are currently a job seeker. And if you're part of the market, it's still a very important video to watch. Corporate America needs to be more truthful when it comes to the jobs that are really available. Don't just fill the job boards with ghost jobs that don't exist. List the actual jobs as all of the job seekers are really hungry for employment right now. Let's get back to the vetting that we had before the information age. Indeed it won't be easy to get anywhere close to that, but let's try to make careful strides to help the displaced people that are either coming fresh out of college or have been laid off or terminated at another place of employment. The platitude that "everyone is hiring" does sound good on paper, but let's make sure that statement passes the ethical check before making that statement as fact. If that job isn't really there, don't list it. And if it is, lets try to create a level playing field for everyone involved. That job can't be offered to everyone, so provide alternatives to ensure fairness to everyone who is earnestly seeking a better future. Filling a position is all about solving a problem that your corporation is facing. The applicants provide a promising solution to that problem, so choose wisely and aid in the solution that your next candidate is looking for.

Good insight

70% of jobs are found in the "secret job market". Through relationships. And I believe this percentage is even higher when it comes to the "best" jobs. At Heizma, we’ve been privileged to hire exceptional talent and offer great growth opportunities. Less than 20% of our hires came from job postings. The rest? They showed initiative, leveraged their network, and built connections with the people they wanted to work with. For most of our team, this was the key to getting in the door. That—and a lot of persistence. 💪 Unfortunately, though, you miss out on many less connected talented people. That's why we have an easier way in for motivated people that want to join our journey: 👉 Submit an unsolicited application through our #CareersPage.
