Let’s face it – it never comes at a good time. You get the call – The company is downsizing. The new CEO is cleaning house. Or maybe they don’t even give a reason. But your job is history.
Any job market is tough. But the current job market is more competitive than at any other time in my generation.
Having reviewed hundreds of resumes and hired scores of team members over the past 20 years, I’ve seen a lot of resumes. Some good – some not so much.
So I receive request regularly to help an individual with a job search or by reviewing their resume. I’ve been asked so often that I eventually developed a template email and resources to send out for each request. (I even sent these tips to an individual who had requested help last night.)
Using these simple tips and job search strategy, I have personally transitioned to more senior positions and higher compensation each time I’ve had a job change.
