The Advanced Hires team is well-versed in finding great job fits for candidates of all kinds, and our recruiters are extremely knowledgeable on the ins and outs of the placement industry, as well as the IT/tech industry. This means that our internal team has many tips for candidates who are considering, or starting, a job search. When asked for their number one job searching tip, our team had many great answers, so we decided to create a new series to highlight these excellent pieces of advice.
This week’s Job Hunting Tip is to UPDATE YOUR NETWORK.
When starting a job search for those currently employed, it is advisable to first change your settings on LinkedIn and switch off the notification component to update your network of the changes. This way you are not putting up red-flags right away if you’re employed. Then make the necessary changes. Also, on the resume under each bullet-point, list the accomplishments first: always trying to utilize percentages and/or dollar signs. This comes before listing what the job entailed. The top should have an “objective” of about four to five sentences. The objective should clearly and persuasively state why your blend of skills, experience, education, and passion is a great match for what they are seeking. The resume then serves as proof of such a statement. And most importantly, work with a highly talented confidential professional recruiter to achieve the best odds for fast tracking your interest and making that first interview possible.
