Quit Trying To DIY And Make Your Job Search Faster

Are you trying to be your own career coach or write your own resume?

If your job search isn't going as fast as you'd like, you could blame it on the job market, ageism, or something else ... or you can accept that DIY job search rarely works quickly.

Here are a few reasons you can accelerate your job search when you quit trying to DIY:

• It's More Competitive Than You Think:?For most positions, it's really competitive out there ... 70M job seekers, competing for 9.6M advertised jobs (7.3 job seekers competing for each opening). The candidate shortages you hear about on the news when only 2M unemployed job seekers are compared to openings, ignoring the majority of your competition.
• You're Trusting Your Career To An Amateur:?How many times have you found a job quickly in a competitive job market? Do you have any issues that are different than your past job searches (unemployed, over 40, changing career/industry/vertical/product/geographic location, remote positions, job search turnaround, long term gaps, or other tough job search problems)? You haven't seen it all - a good professional career coach has helped many others in your specific situation.
• You're Losing Opportunities You Should Be Getting Every Day:?You're losing opportunities because your resume is getting screened out when you're qualified, when you don't know the right keywords or current hiring manager needs, when your resume portrays you as only qualified, when you apply too late (which happens much earlier than you think), and when your resume formatting doesn't work well with Applicant Tracking Systems.
• You'll Save Money And Time:?Think about how much in income and benefits you lose every week, every month you remain out of work or at a continued lower salary? If you're currently employed, think about how much of your free time you spend on your search, instead of on your family, friends, and the things you love to do? A good group career coaching program will cost you much less than a week's income/benefits (private coaching should cost less than a month's income + benefits).

If you want to see more ways you can accelerate your job search, why not let me show you? I'll teach you changes you can make to your resume, interview and job search strategies, to gain a huge advantage over your competition, and accelerate your job search.
