Over the course of the past 12 months, I saw an uptick in people job searching of their own volition rather than forced due to layoffs. Based on those reaching out to me at year’s end, things are looking up for a fantastic 2017!! Whether or not you chose to have your resume professionally written in 2016, these job search themes remain loud and clear.
People were looking to get their arms around:
1) Tricks of the trade when it comes to resume and LinkedIn writing
2) Strategies for getting found and standing out
3) Guidance on targeting companies and preparing for interviews
The 12 posts below offer a year in review…my hope is they help you to hit the ground running in 2017. Best Wishes for the New Year!!
