2022 Job Breakthru Change makers

The boys in the neighborhood were wondering how the job search is going.

It's early 2022 and with a new year come resolutions for many people. How about a resolution to make 2 changes in your job search that will put you in the top 10% of jobseekers? There are things or metrics in the job search that are different in the Covid Fatigue world of job searching.

1. The job search isn't getting easier. Anybody can download their resume or CV to an HR dept. As a result the number of jbskrs has multiplied.
2. HR people have less time to look at and screen candidates to find the top 10% to pass up to the hiring manager.

The answer to number one is stop sending out your resume to online ads. In most cases (over 95%) it won't be looked at. Find someone(s) at each company and reach out to them and get to know them and about the company. Don't expect over 1/3 to respond to you so don't give up. Then when you have established a connection ask them about a listed job or if their are any openings your contact knows about.

The answer to number two is you have to know what to say and how to say it so it says what is WOW about you, why you are a possible fit for the job. Be to the point and be brief with your statement at the top of your CV or resume. If you can't grab someone's attention with your skills and ability in a couple of short sentences-------you've lost them. Okay so most of you don't know how to do that but you can learn. Learn from people who have helped and are helping job seekers find jobs. These are the ones who can make you stand out quickly. Because when you can stand out quickly, you will be in the top 10% of jbskrs and the those are the ones who get hired quickly.
