“Why can’t I find a job?” Are you are sending out tons of resumes for positions that you know you are qualified for with no results? It could be that you need to do these seven steps.
Email or connect with someone in the company and ask them to refer you to the hiring manager. If you don’t know anyone, reach out to them anyway on LinkedIn and ask them to pass on your name. You can reach out to them using cold emailing. You can find someone’s email using these two email locating services: Hunter.io and Mailscoop io.
Tailor your resume to include keywords that are mentioned right in the job description you are applying for. This will greatly increase your chances of moving through the applicant tracking system for that particular position
Use Power Verbs in your career summary and in your job accomplishments. (message me for a list of the top ten power verbs)
Add metrics to your resume. Quantify your accomplishments with numbers.
Find former bosses and coworkers on LinkedIn and network with them. Ask them if they know anyone at the company where you have applied or if they know anyone hiring.
Bonus Tips: Don’t forget to check your resume for typos. Have someone else read your resume and do a quick edit.
And if you are still not landing that great position, consider hiring a career coach. Message me on here or on LinkedIn.
