Using Effective Resume/Job Search Strategies? Then Why Are You Still Unemployed?

Outplacement edited your resume so it looks good?to employers and told you just what you should do to find your next job. Maybe you've employed a career coach for advice, or paid a professional resume writer to write your resume.

You've read articles and books that recommend similar job search strategies - Write a resume that describes your responsibilities and experience. Then apply to jobs on job boards, career pages, and have your friends and people on LinkedIn recommend you to companies that have openings.

You're doing all the things you've been told you should do.

But you're starting to get a little worried ... So why isn't this advice working? You wonder, I'm doing all the right things so why am I still unemployed?

Does this sound like your job search?

Just because you're using resume and job search strategies that work for some, doesn't mean these strategies will work for your individual situation.

What you've heard from outplacement, confirmed by most coaches and articles and used by professional resume writers might work?for some lucky job seekers, because they teach strategies depending on luck and volume. It's how they were trained to coach you in their certification training.

If these strategies were working for you, you'd know it in the first month. You'd land plenty of interviews and advance in many of those interviews, on a clear path to finding your next job.

If your resume was as good enough to get employer attention, then you'd get employer attention - Interviews, 2nd & 3rd interviews, and job offers.

But 2024 is a different job market - It's highly competitive with 80M+ job seekers competing for 8.5M jobs. And the standard strategies you've been taught don't work well in such a competitive job market, especially when you present risks to employers, who have many choices today.

You're probably experiencing these job search problems, if you're unemployed, over 40, or have a small blemish in your career history. But you continue to do the same things, over and over, that cause you to remain unemployed.

You know it's crazy to expect different results when you continue doing the things that cause poor outcomes, but you don't know what to change to stop this repetitive cycle.
