It is important to keep one eye on the present and one eye on the future. These articles will help you understand what you should be doing to manage your career and job search!
Career Stuff You Need To Know: Online, In Person and In the Future
As I skim through hundreds of articles a week, looking for helpful information to share, there’s a method to my madness. The content I share has to educate you on future trends and what you need to do now.
With that said, the one thing that is most important (in my mind) for you to focus on is your online visibility, aka what people find when they research you online. Your branding has to be clear, concise and on target. The skills you possess and those you choose to highlight have to align with the skills employers want. Therefore, you’ll have to know what skills you should highlight. A little secret to solving this is to spend more time reading job postings and matching your experience with what employers want. Oh, and body language is too important to overlook, so you’ll find information on that too!
I hope this week’s collection helps you do these things better!
