Ever failed miserably at something and had no idea why?
I know I have š§
Years prior to becoming a career coach, I was in corporate and got laid off very suddenly.Ā
I started job searching right away.Ā
And failed at it so miserably that I only landed 1 interview in my first 6 months š³
I certainly turned it around and landed multiple offers and it all turned into my current beloved career thatās so deeply fulfilling š„°
But Iām not going to lieā¦ those first 6 months shook my confidence to the core.
I couldnāt see what I was doing wrong in my search.
Until an expert pointed 3 things out to me:Ā
1- My resume wasnāt working even though it was written by a certified resume writer.
2- My LinkedIn profile wasā¦ there. It existed. I was āonā LinkedIn. But I had no idea what a keyword optimized profile was, let alone how to create one.Ā
3- I applied to dozens of roles online each week, without a clear focused target role in mind.
The result was abysmal failure with my initial job search efforts š©Ā
The truth is that these 3 simple things were part of my own blind spots at the time.Ā
I didnāt know what I didnāt know!Ā
Unfortunately, with the many layoffs that have occurred over the last few months, I see so many bright, capable professionals struggle and fail like I did.Ā
Theyāre doing āall the thingsā theyāve heard they need to do, yet, none of it is working.Ā
They donāt know what they donāt know!
If thatās you, I get it.Ā
Itās really hard to understand why no one calls you back for interviews when youāre the perfect fit for a role!
How can they not see it?Ā
Itās frustrating and confusing.Ā
The first step is to understand and acknowledge that getting hired these days is a skill that weāre not born with.Ā
Thereās nothing wrong with you if this is happening for you.Ā
Itās just not your area of expertise.Ā
And thatās totally ok.Ā
Why should you expect to know everything about job searching in 2023 when the last time you had to do it was when you got out of college or 15 years ago when you got laid off?Ā
When itās time to learn a new skill in other areas of life, we often turn to training, with experts that can help bridge the knowledge gap.Ā
Itās no different with job search.Ā
Things have gotten pretty sophisticated and, competitive.Ā
Learning how to land a new role today requires a completely different approach and expert knowledge.Ā
Thatās what I do. Iām a get-hired expert and coach.Ā
And I see you. š
