Right now we are in the Belly of the Beast when it comes to job seeking.
So it's not just about your CV and Skills anymore, it's about using every possible resource you have to get NOTICED.
Your CV and Profile will need to attract more EYEBALLS.
Look at it this way!
Recruiters and Employers are receiving 100's and possibly 1000's of CV's a day for each position that you are applying for.
Most companies have an automated response set up, however each application will need to be screened and this takes a LOT of TIME and ENERGY.
This might explain some of the reasons why seeking a new role is taking time.
In the meantime...........
You have applied for plenty of roles and nothing is really moving.
You have had a few automated responses, a few rejections and you have heard nothing from other positions!
What next????
So instead of sitting there feeling sorry for yourself! It's time to do more.
If you are reading this on LinkedIn you obviously have a LinkedIn account, so let's start with LinkedIn.
*How does your profile look?
*Is it clear on what you want? and what you are looking for?
*Does your CV match your LinkedIn Profile? (Consistency is Key)
*Do you have a professional and up to date photo on it?
*Are you adding new connections all the time? (Building a network is vital right now).
* Have you gathered a few testimonials? It's all good saying how great we are, but it's even more powerful when someone else recommends us....other voices speak volumes.
And finally! Do you have your LinkedIn profile link on your CV?
Humans are curious by nature and the first thing a recruiter will do when they see your CV is, they will see if you are on LinkedIn.
Oh and they will also check your other Social Media pages, so it's probably best to keep those pages professional too while you are on the job market :-).
So what could you add to your profile today that you want your new employer to know about you?
Remember it's YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF they want to hire so don't be afraid to stand out and be seen!!
