𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 💡 Finding a job has never been a walk in the park, but today’s white-collar job seekers are facing unprecedented challenges. As Business Insider’s Aki Ito reports, many professionals feel as if they’ve "gone to sleep in one world and woken up in a scarier one." Why? A deep recession in white-collar jobs, coupled with the ease of one-click applications, has created the mother of all traffic jams in the hiring process. But there’s hope. The article highlights actionable advice from recruiters, HR executives, and career coaches to help job seekers stand out: ✨ Start with introspection: Look for opportunities at your current company—internal applicants have a much higher success rate than external ones. ✨ Quality over quantity: Focus on a few dream companies and go deep. Cold-call managers to build connections, even before jobs are posted. ✨ LinkedIn is your ally: Stay active, follow your dream companies, and optimize your profile with skills and achievements. ✨ Customize everything: Tailor your résumé to every job to get past the bots—and don’t fall for gimmicks like "white fonting." ✨ Interview smarter: Use tools like the STAR method to structure your answers and show you're prepared to solve real problems. Aki's piece isn’t just about tips; it’s a reminder to adapt and embrace new strategies in a changed world. Whether it’s building relationships, personalizing your approach, or staying #resilient, these "new rules" can help you navigate the gridlock. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/egUTA5PX What are your go-to strategies for standing out in today’s job market?
