Your Job Search Isn't Broken But Your Plan Might Be
ILENE REIN | Executive Recruiter & Job Search Strategist | Pounding Pavement 101
You're probably frustrated with your job search. Most job seekers are. They apply to jobs every day without stopping to check if what they're doing actually works.
If you want to land a job that matches your career goals, you need a plan. And if that plan isn't creating any momentum, you need to change it. Here's what actually works.

Take Stock of What You've Been Doing
Before you change anything, figure out what you've already tried. Do you check the same job boards every day? Have you read job postings all the way through? Have you reached out to companies or recruiters directly? Knowing what you've done helps you see what needs to change.
Look at each method you've used. Which ones are working? Which ones are wasting your time? When you measure what's working, you can focus your energy where it matters.
Here's something most job seekers don't know. Three out of four employers prefer active candidates. These are people who reach out directly with their skills and experience instead of just submitting applications online. When you contact a Recruiter or employer directly, you show initiative. You show you actually want the role. That matters more than you think.

Use Online Resources the Right Way
The internet has tons of information for job seekers. You can watch videos from experts in your field. (Check Out My YouTube Channel for Free Advice) You can connect with people online who know about openings before they're posted.
Research shows that 83% of workers used the internet to find jobs. And 61% said they couldn't have found their position without it. Job boards and networking platforms open up opportunities you won't find anywhere else.
Meet With People in Your Field
Talking to professionals who work in your industry gives you advice you won't find in any article or book. Your family, friends, and other connections can offer valuable insights into your industry. They can introduce you to people who are hiring.
Networking isn't just about finding a job right now. It's about understanding what's happening in your field. It's about learning how to stand out from other qualified candidates. These relationships matter when you're looking for work.
Take Control of Your Search
Ninety percent of employers search for candidates on social media and through internet searches. That means you need to use these channels well. Find job leads through online networks. Set up meetings with people in your field. Get advice on how to perform better in interviews. All of these are tools that help you compete.
With the right approach, you can make real progress toward the job you want. If you've tried everything and still aren't getting the results you want, my Pounding Pavement 101 program might be what you need.
