In the market for a new job? A career coach can help you successfully navigate the searching process for the perfect placement, but did you know there are search strategies you can implement yourselves?
Finding the perfect job starts with adequate research to ensure you find the best opportunities, but in the internet world, that can seem like a daunting task. Here are the best job search strategies to employ today in your quest for the next big move.
1. Have A Digital Presence
Nowadays, having a digital presence is key in landing a great new job. There are excellent sites like LinkedIn to help professionals maintain a solid online platform for seeking new opportunities while looking like experts in their field. When creating and maintaining a digital presence, it’s important to optimize your profile with keywords of prospective employers you want to attract so they can find you easily.
2. Be Selective in Your Search
If you are desperate to get out of your current place of employment, it’s important to know exactly what you’re looking for to help you in your next search. Being selective in what you research from prospective employers helps you narrow your focus to companies you feel would be a good fit for you without winding up in another place you’ll be ready to leave half a year later.
3. Customize Your Application
While there are a lot of resume and cover letter templates available, make sure you tailor each application to the position and company you’re applying for. You want the hiring managers or recruiter to see your personality and enthusiasm for joining their company while having the same skillset they are seeking. Double-check every part of your application to make sure it aligns with the job you’re applying for.
4. Browse Company Websites
Once you have an idea of where you want to work, it’s time to visit the company sites. You can learn a lot about the culture of a company and see if they’re hiring by regularly visiting their online home. Some companies use their own sites to post openings rather than using a third-party site, so keeping a frequent eye out can give you the advantage of being an early applicant.
5. Hire A Career Coach
Lastly, if you’re feeling stuck about what to do next or how to start searching for a job, consider hiring a career coach! It can be very stressful to take on the challenge of finding a new job on your own, and a career coach knows exactly what to do. They can help you discover your skills for the best job matches and help you tailor your resume and cover letter to fit the jobs you’re applying to. Career coaches can also practice job interviews with you to give you confidence for landing your next role.
