FIVE JOB HUNTING TIPS FROM A JOB HUNTER:
1️⃣ Work super hard on your resume. Swooped makes an amazing resume builder tool that speeds up applying to open roles, customizing your resume for each job description, job tracker, etc. Not paid to say it. 😊
2️⃣ Mirror your resume on your LinkedIn profile. You might adapt it a bit, but keep it fresh and aligned overall. 👍
3️⃣ Connect with everyone you know on LinkedIn. The best opportunities often come from within your network; if your network is super-small, the opportunities will be, too. Don't be afraid to follow or connect with new folks, too! 🤝
4️⃣ Comment on good, value-added content on LinkedIn. Ask a question, praise their humor, or add more context. The point is to give back and not just consume. Givers get opportunities. 💪
5️⃣ Push before asking for a push. Have you ever seen someone struggling to move a heavy object? People often rush over to help as they see the strain, but they rarely rush to help someone who's not even attempting the lift. Effort responds to effort. 🏋️♂️
This isn't an exhaustive list. What tools, resources, communities, or best practices would you add to the list? What's working/worked for you?
