How To Survive A Brutal Job Market??

For most of us today's job market feels like something out of a horror movie...

Apply, apply, apply,? and apply some more....

Annnnnnnnddddd

Quiet Place starring you.

No call back, no email thanking you for applying, absolutely nothing.

This can be absolutely scary, not knowing where your next paycheck is going to come from.

Here's some questions to ask yourself to get out of application hell

1. Are You Hungry?

When you first read that you probably thought "damn I am kinda hungry.

Relax, you can log out of doordash, I'm not talking about that kind of hunger.

I'm talking about being hungry for a better life and better opportunities.

When you're truly hungry, you'll put pride and ego to the side.

When you're hungry you'll ask for help and ensure your surrounded by people who have a similar mindset.

"Your network = Your networth"

This statement is truer than ever.?

Action Step: Meet five new people on social media and two new people in real life everyday.

You never know what a simple hello can turn into.

2. Are Resumes Still A Thing?

Believe it or not, your resumes are still a big deal...

That's right, so if you're still using? the same resume you've been using since you were 14, that could explain why you're not getting interviews.

Be sure to update your resumes regularly (preferably once a quarter)

That's right, "resumes". One resume just won't cut it in today's job market.

You need to have several different resumes, using the same resume for every job post, won't work.

Action Step: Update & optimize your resume today.

3. What's innit for me?

That's literally all an employer cares about, what you can do for them.

If the answer is not much....

Guess what?

You won't be getting hired.

So make yourself as valuable as possible to potential employers.

You can do this by getting an in demand skillset that employers are looking for.

You can gain these skills thru self education, certifications or mentorship.
