#56 - Applying With Clarity

#56 - Applying With Clarity

The new Jobseeking is Hard is out now!

This week I'm talking about how to have focus and clarity in your job search, including:

  • Why are there such large salary ranges on job postings, and should you even bother applying to those jobs? (Premium Subscribers! I'll give you some advice on salary negotiations to help with those large salary ranges on job postings!)
  • Is it better to have a green #OpenToWork banner on LinkedIn when applying for jobs? (For Premium Subscribers, I'll give you advice on avoiding burnout and staying motivated when you're #OpenToWork)
  • Also for Premium Subscribers, I'm answering a premium subscriber's question about what jobs to apply to when you're unsure what you want.

And don't forget about the Stupid Interview Questions (tunafish sandwich anyone??), and a jobseeking horror story about requesting feedback.
