#69 - Job Search Fatigue

The new Jobseeking is Hard is out now!

A quick announcement!

So many people send me screenshots of job search ridiculousness, so I’ve started an Instagram account to share all the best (worst?) ones! The focus will be on bad job postings and other stuff that makes looking for a job way harder than it has to be, as well as advice.

It’s going to have a bit of a different focus than my LinkedIn and Twitter accounts, so if you’re on IG, check it out and give me a follow!

And if you have a bad job posting or a meme you think I should see, DM me on here or IG, or email the newsletter ([email protected] )

In issue #69, we’re talking about:

• A jobseeking horror story about being rejected on a technicality.
• A job board for recruiters & HR professionals.
• Difficulty highlighting value on resumes for career pivots.
• A scam involving a recruiter’s hacked email account.

And for Premium subscribers I’m:

• Debunking a post involving AI and a resume rejection.
• Giving you a tip on preparing for calls from companies regarding roles.
• Telling you a trick to optimize the keywords on your resume (and no, it’s not white font).
• And I'm answering a premium subscriber's question about how to avoid fatigue and burnout in your job search.
