As I talk to more jobseekers who have been on the hunt a while I'm hearing:
- But more determination to ask for help.
You are a [Project Manager, IT Director, Marketing/Communications pro, Manager, Logistics, insert your title here.]. You're not a writer, you aren't on the other side of the job interview/networking desk. You can't be everything to everyone.
I have worked with clients to successfully:
- Clarify their job search to focus on jobs they were REALLY qualified for,
stop spinning their wheels, and re-worked the resume to match the
requirements of those positions.
- Develop specific networking strategies, that they felt comfortable implementing and matched their personal style, to approach or re-approach networking contacts (without stalking).
- Re-write parts of their resume and cover letter for briefer, punchier and more to-the-point descriptions that are easy to read and understand (without being resume-speak).
- Talk
through a job description discussing how their current industry
experience on their resume would "scare" an employer--because they
wouldn't see the relevancy. Provided tactics to highlight the skill set
and transferable skills without being misleading.
- Provide ideas on networking leads to expand who they should talk to in an industry.
Relief, a renewed sense of direction, clarity on how to proceed, they become re-engaged in the job search process--because I have answered their questions--I removed the blocks (mental or related to their resume or job interview or networking skills) that were holding them back. Aren't YOU ready to feel this way?
Yes, there's a TON of free advice available--you'll even find plenty of articles and videos I've produced--but if you don't know how to apply this advice to your situation--or your specific situation isn't being discussed--it's not going to help you.
