Searching and applying for a new job can be a full-time job itself. From finding open roles to completing lengthy applications (where you re-type your entire resume ) it can be exhausting. It’s worse when you’ve been at the process for weeks or even months without any progress. At that point it's hard to know if you need some extra help or you just haven’t found the right role yet.
Luckily there are some key signs to tell you it’s time to seek professional help... of a career coach. :-)
1. Applying to jobs without a response or getting auto rejection emails…
Are you applying 10, 20, 50, even 100+ jobs and not receiving a single interview request? Chances are your resume is not optimized for Applicant Tracking Software (ATS) and is getting filtered out before a real person even has a chance to review it. A Career Coach can help make sure your resume doesn’t just look good but speaks the same language as these ATS tools.
2. Recruiters on LinkedIn have stopped sliding in to your DMs...
Did you go from a few messages a week from recruiters on LinkedIn about new roles to 1 or 2 a month? It has been shown that your network plays a huge factor in your job hunt and recruiters tap into your LinkedIn network to find potential candidates. If messages from recruiters have become less frequent or dried up all together there is a good chance that your LinkedIn profile is not setup for easy search making it difficult for companies to find you. A Career Coach can review your LinkedIn profile and provide an objective assessment of your digital footprint to ensure your network is working for you.
3. Failing to make it to the next round or getting ghosted by hiring managers….
Have you submitted dozens of applications and finally received the coveted interview request only to have the recruiter or hiring manager go dark after your first-round interview? Hey we’ve all had bad interviews or just not clicked with the interviewer. But if you find this is happening again and again its possible your interview prep isn’t up to par or your interview skills are a bit rusty. A Career Coach can provide a refresher crash course so that you make the most of each interview opportunity you get.
What can you do you improve your resume?
