Advice for Job Seekers
We have gathered advice in this new age for all job seekers
1. You’re using your resume as a diary, not a pitch deck.
Hiring managers don’t need your life story.
They need proof you can solve their problem.
Cut the BS. Add metrics.

2. Don't applying to everything.
If your strategy is “spray and pray,” you’ll get ghosted.
Narrow your focus.
Tailor your pitch.
10 strategic apps > 100 generic ones.

3. Your LinkedIn headline is wasting space.
“Actively seeking opportunities” tells them nothing.
Try this formula...
[Job Title] | [Years of Experience] | [3 Keywords] | [How You Add Value]

4. You’re not active online.
Top candidates are...
They post.
They comment.
They become top of mind before the job is even posted.

5. You sound like everyone else.
“Team player.” “Hardworking.”
“Results-driven.”
Give real examples.
Use numbers. Tell stories.
Don’t say you’re good. Prove it.

6. You're too passive.
You apply. You wait. You hope.

And they do it well (consistently)
