According to recent data, the average job seeker takes five to six months to land a new job after having conducted 2 to 4 interviews for every 20 applications and 10 to 20 interviews total.
So, even if you’re “doing good” in your job hunt, it can still be a difficult process and can be an even longer and thankless process depending on a range of external forces.
So, how do you plot a dynamic job search strategy that keeps you motivated, moving forward and touching all potential bases so that you can catapult yourself to your next career move? Hear from someone who has been in a hiring decision-making seat for 25 years and join us on June 12th to figure out!
We’ll cover:
The elements of a successful job search strategy.
A repeatable process that takes you from job board to application.
Creating a focus for your job search and the WHY behind what you are looking for.
Filtering which jobs to apply to and assessing whether you’re qualified for the job at hand.
Why you shouldn’t be fooled by “Easy Apply” and “Quick Apply.”
Understanding Applicant Tracking Systems and how to write a resume compatible with them.
Using job boards as research for the future of work.
How to cope with the difficulties of searching for new jobs.
This workshop is funded by our HBCU Fund for Professional Development.
