Doing The More Of Minimum Or Doing More Of What Speeds Up Your Unemployment Job Search?

Unemployed job seekers - Are you doing the more of minimum or are you doing more of the things that speed up your job search?

You could be putting in a great number of job search hours, but still do the minimum, when your time is spent doing things that don't matter to employers. Do you think you're impressing employers with how many jobs you've applied for? Or if you sent out a high number of resumes, but didn't spend much (or any) effort modifying the ones you sent?

These are examples of doing more of the minimum. It's what nearly all long-term unemployed job seekers do.

But unemployed job seekers who find their next job quickly do more of what is important to employers:

• Invest Time In Heavy Resume Customization: Unemployed job seekers who make their job search go faster send fewer resumes, but concentrate their effort into opportunities where they have a strategic advantage of landing that job over competitors. One example of this effort is heavy resume customization based on the individual hiring manager's current needs.
• Improved Job Search Process: Job seekers who beat unemployment more quickly aren't applying online where their odds are much worse, and they have low chances of differentiating themselves. They aren't networking to jobs after they've been posted, where employee referral bonuses and company policies redirect their resumes back to HR. They aren't going through 3rd party recruiters, who make them 20-30% more expensive due to placement fees. Instead, they've transformed their job search to work with the process hiring managers use to hire 80% of their new hires.

If your unemployment job search isn't going fast enough, ask yourself ... are you doing more, or just doing more of the minimum?

You'd already be doing more of what's important hiring managers, but no one taught you how. And if you learned, it would make your unemployment job search go faster, be less frustrating, give you more confidence, and a better chance at finding a better job.

That's where I can help you ... I've taught over 50K unemployed job seekers how to prove they'll do more for hiring managers, and helped them get hired faster.
