In today's job market, your online presence is as crucial as your resume. Ensure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date with your latest skills and experiences. This platform acts as your digital resume and is often the first place potential employers will look. Clean up any public social media profiles; you want to present a professional image to anyone searching for you online.

Your online presence could be key to your job search and getting noticed by recruiters, here’s a few mistakes you should avoid: 1) having a LinkedIn without much information on your background or what you do. Having a profile picture, a bio and description under each job 2) keeping parts of your private life (example partying photos on FB) visible that you would not like employers to see! 3)not following the right companies or engaging with others. Use LinkedIn as a way to connect with your interests so you get discovered!

2 Networking Power

Harness the power of networking by connecting with industry professionals and alumni through social media platforms and professional groups. Engaging in online forums and attending virtual webinars can also expand your network and keep you informed about industry trends. Remember, networking isn't just about asking for a job; it's about building relationships that may lead to opportunities in the future. Be genuine in your interactions, offer value where you can, and maintain these connections even after you've secured a job.

Trying to network with people at a company that has an active job posted you're interested in often comes across as disingenuous. You can do it, but you need to be careful about your approach. Instead, consider starting with a list of companies you're truly interested in (whether they have a relevant job posting or not) and begin your networking efforts there. This approach can really elevate how you're perceived...you're viewed as much more authentic because your networking is about the company, not a specific role.

3 Tailored Applications

When applying for jobs online, it's tempting to send out as many applications as possible, but quality trumps quantity. Tailor each application to the job description, highlighting relevant skills and experience. Use keywords from the job posting to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), which many companies use to pre-filter resumes. A personalized cover letter can also make a significant difference, showing the employer that you've taken the time to understand their company and role.

Not only does this make you a more attractive candidate, but it also shows prospective employers that you're proactive and committed to personal development. With numerous online learning platforms available, you can often gain new skills from the comfort of your home.

5 Interview Prep

Prepare for virtual interviews just as you would for in-person ones. Familiarize yourself with video conferencing tools and ensure you have a quiet, well-lit space for the interview. Practice answering common interview questions and have examples ready to demonstrate your skills and experiences. It's also important to research the company and come prepared with questions to ask the interviewer, showing your interest in the role and organization.

Algunas recomendaciones claves para que te vaya increíble en tu entrevista! 1. El tiempo es limitado: -Busca ser directo en tus respuestas -Cuidar tu story-telling 2. Investiga a detalle la empresa -Puedes basarte en Porter y sus 5 fuerzas (si como la universidad!) -Buscar a todos los que te entrevistarán en LinkedIn (lee sus artículos, experiencias y estudios) 3. Practica! -En el espejo, conmigo, con un amigo! -Escribe tus preguntas y respuestas en dónde quieras (Word, Notes, un correo), pero es importante planearlas con tiempo.

6 Follow-Up Etiquette

After an interview, send a thank-you email to express your appreciation for the opportunity and reiterate your interest in the position. This simple act of courtesy can set you apart from other candidates. Keep track of the jobs you've applied for and follow up if you haven't heard back within a week or two. However, be patient and professional; pestering employers can reflect negatively on you.

With so many people using AI ineffectively, your best bet to stand out on the market is human connection. Do people and companies want to connect with you? If not, check the energy you are carrying. Come into a higher, happier and purposeful place and watch the power of human connection work in your favour. Relying on AI will not allow YOU to really stand out and shine. My client was in an energy of desperation when we started working together. She had NO success. When we shifted her energy into a higher place, the right networking meetings and interviews began pouring in and she landed her role in 3 weeks. Open your eyes to the energy you carry. Use that to receive the gift that is waiting for you.
