When you change your mindset you’ll change your job search outcomes! Posting and praying just doesn’t have the same success it used to.

Gone are the days when you can just throw your resume out there and land a great job.
Why?
One reason is because you aren’t looking for entry level work any more. You have years of work experience and the employers looking for you have evolved and look for talent like you in new ways. The job boards just don’t get the high quality candidates employers are looking for.
The other reason is because there are a lot of people actively looking for new jobs, which means more competition. And more competition means you’ve got to stand out. Are you really showcasing how you’ve improved productivity, efficiency, profitability or made an impact? Few people are good at this.
Here’s what I want you to know…
There are jobs out there. You just have to find them. Change your mindset.

This is what you’ll find in this week’s Summary Sunday.
