I’ve been thinking about writing this post for awhile now because I hear this from new clients pretty often. They’re job searching, doing everything they can think of to find a new role, yet they’re still not getting offers. I also see the frustration all over LinkedIn right now. So many professionals are struggling and…
There is a pattern I have noticed in how many professionals approach their job search, especially after they have been trying for a while without seeing results. They tend to focus on one piece of the process and expect it to solve everything. Sometimes that looks like updating a resume or LinkedIn profile and hoping…
If I had a dollar for every time a client came to me frustrated, discouraged, and questioning their value during a job search, I would have a second business by now.
