The modern job search is complex and demanding.
Those switching careers must implement a career transitioning strategy optimized to access and maximize new job opportunities.
In a Bob Gerst podcast, career coach Ben Wiant highlights some career transitioning tips that job seekers can use to become better and more effective candidates.
Here are some key takeaways:
– Use a standard resume format (unless you are in a design-focused industry) and ensure the resume’s content tells a story of how you solve companies’ problems.
– Candidates are often their own worst critics; flip your script to be positive, believe in yourself, and know that you are worthy.
– Focus on strategic networking to ensure the greatest positive impact on your job search and future career potential.
– Always know your values, stay professional, and take any negative feedback in stride as a learning opportunity.
