Top 5 patterns from analysis of 225 1:1 job-search support call notes: 1. LinkedIn isn’t selling the story. At minimum your LinkedIn should reflect your resume, but it can be much more than that. In can give you social credibility critical in many industries. Put your best foot forward and own your successes. 2. Resume not tailored / no impact You should have a metric or number that showcases your impact in the first sentence of your summary section. And most of your bullet points should have the same. 3. Sending too few applications. Aim for 15 well tailored applications per week. Many are way below and same are way above. This is the sweet spot. 4. Networking issues. Don’t over think it. Reach out to your network and let them know you are looking and what you are looking for. When you apply, message the hiring manager or leadership at the company expressing enthusiasm and connecting the dots. Don’t annoy, but get your name out there. 5. Interview storytelling. Learn the STAR method for interviewing responses. Be ready with lost of questions to ask them. Be adaptable and focus on connecting while knowing your story and why you are the right fit.
