Six Job Search Tips For Finding a Job

1. Ask Around and Network Strategically

Looking for a job? Searching for jobs and it’s taking a little longer than anticipated? One of the best ways to find a job quickly is to ask your personal connections for recommendations or referrals.?If you’ve spent time and energy on social media, mentioning that you are open to work there can also open doors. Take a targeted approach to networking and be open to new connections.

2. Tweak Your Resume: Update Your Work Experience then Review Your Career Goals?

Simplify! Take a look at your work experience and see if there is anything that you can highlight on your resume.?What have you learned along the way??Have you set career goals??If you continue to keep your career goals in mind, you’ll be more likely to pursue opportunities that are a better fit for you.?Make sure to use the right keywords associated with your experience and skills to make sure your resume is able to be found more easily in search databases.

3. Be Willing to Say "No?Thank You" - Stay Focused on Your Goals

Not all job opportunities are right for you.?Don’t just focus on pay (don’t ignore it either). There are opportunities that may or may not be the right fit for your career goals. If you’re applying for jobs in new communities and companies, there may be opportunities you may need to say no to in order to keep your career on the right path.?

4. Be Ready to Say Yes, Quickly, To the Right Opportunity

Stay on target. Have you reviewed your resume, work experience, and career goals??Write down a short list of items you want out of the next 3 jobs.?If a job offer checks the boxes on that list, consider saying yes to that opportunity! Be flexible to some degree too.?If you'd prefer a remote job but an opportunity checks most of the other boxes like skills and compensation, consider taking the role since it satisfies the other items you're looking for.

5. Apply to a Company Career Site – Not Just Indeed.?

Hopping on employment sites like Indeed can feel like jumping into an ocean full of other resumes and may be your default.?These are good resources for jobs but if you partner with Panther,?applying directly in our career portal increases your visibility into the absolute newest jobs on the market across the country , with companies that are growing and need employees fast.

6. Know Why You Are Looking for Your Next Role

Hindsight is foresight. If you're looking for the next step up, a different type of work culture, a new manager, or better compensation, being able to define these reasons clearly can help you identify the right opportunity more easily. Also, this type of question often comes up in interviews. If you have a polished answer for what you are looking for in your next role, you'll appear more professional, polished, and confident, all three of which are highly desirable to interviewers.
