How to Supercharge Your Job Search Strategy for Career Success
Take an Honest Look at Your Current Approach
Let's get straight to the point: you're a seasoned executive with a wealth of experience under your belt. But despite sending out resume after resume, you find yourself stuck in this job-search maze. What's going wrong?
If you’re a Senior Corporate Executive who's recently faced a career transition, whether you’ve been laid off, quit, or are simply seeking a new adventure, the traditional job search methods won't cut it for you. Here’s why.
Think about your last few attempts at job applications. Did you apply through job portals or company websites and hear nothing back? The truth is that those platforms receive hundreds of applications every day. Your resume likely got lost in a sea of other applicants.
In today's competitive job market, the key to landing your dream role isn't just about applying everywhere but about applying smartly. How can you switch from an ineffective to a successful strategy?
Leverage Your Network
Consider the strength and span of your professional network. Are you leveraging it effectively?
According to a report by LinkedIn, 85% of jobs are filled through networking. Given your high-ranking position and years in the industry, your network is a goldmine of opportunities.
Your contacts can provide inside information about upcoming roles that may not even be public yet. They can also offer firsthand accounts of a company’s culture, helping you better understand if the organization aligns with your values.
Is your network strong enough to rely on?
Optimize Your Online Presence
Take a moment to Google yourself. What comes up?
Recruiters and potential employers will do the same, and what they find can make or break your chances of landing an interview. My Career Transformer Journey program has successfully guided executives in optimizing their online presence, making them more attractive to potential employers.
Why You Should Care: Your online presence serves as an extended resume. If you're in technology or digital sectors, this holds even more weight. From LinkedIn to personal websites, what the internet says about you should be aligned with your career aspirations.

Elevate Your LinkedIn Engagement
Transform your LinkedIn profile from a static resume to a dynamic platform for engagement.
LinkedIn is not just a tool for job search; it's a platform to establish your personal brand and engage with industry leaders. Those who actively post, comment, and direct message (DM) on LinkedIn significantly increase their visibility. Many of my clients have gained interviews and job offers, specifically through active LinkedIn engagement.
Engaging on LinkedIn isn't about vanity; it's a strategic move. You stay on people's radars by commenting on industry articles, sharing insightful posts, and connecting with peers and leaders through DMs. This active engagement often leads to private conversations about job opportunities and can make you a 'top-of-mind' candidate for recruiters.
Are you prepared to revamp your LinkedIn strategy?
Including a focused LinkedIn engagement strategy can be a game-changer in your job search. As you post, comment, and reach out via direct messages, you're doing more than just networking; you're showcasing your knowledge, skills, and passion for your industry. This dynamic approach ensures that you're not just another application in a pile but a living, breathing, contributing professional worth a closer look.
