Strategy for Job Searching in 2025
In 2025 you can be a great employee, you can be getting consistent top performance reviews AND STILL BE OUT OF A JOB!
And if you are conducting a job search in this 2025 job market it is easy to feel like you are just spinning your wheels and not getting anywhere - not even an interview. And because job searching is very lonely and isolating it is easy for your brain to take you to some dark places like "Will I ever get an interview", "I'm an imposter", "Was I really good at what I've been doing" and become more than a bit anxious and depressed.
I'm here to tell you IT IS NOT YOU. THE PRESENT JOB MARKET IS VERY CHALLENGING. Why? Due to the current economy, unpredictable business climate and the impact of AI on jobs including increasingly white collar jobs many companies have at least temporarily limited or frozen hiring. Employers are quickly adopting AI to achieve greater productivity and often discovering they need fewer employees. As a result there have been substantial layoffs in many industries. In addition, there have been significant government layoffs and terminations. Thus, there are many experienced applicants along with career shifters and recent graduates competing for fewer openings.
WHILE I CANNOT PROMISE YOU INTERVIEWS I CAN HELP YOU WITH YOUR SEARCH STRATEGY AND TECHNIQUES IN THIS AI-DRIVEN JOB SEARCH WORLD AND MAKE YOU FEEL MORE CONFIDENT ABOUT YOUR SEARCH.
As you likely know most employers and recruiters are using AI driven applicant tracking systems, screening interviews and applications like LinkedIn recruiter which allow them quickly to identify applicants who they believe best meet the job description. In this environment it is more critical than ever for applicants to understand how to conduct their job search and craft compelling resumes and LinkedIn profiles so they rise in applicant tracking systems and in LinkedIn recruiter and are actually seen by a human. Additionally a key to success is obtaining referrals through your network.
I help applicants develop a search strategy and educate them on critical tactics including:
- Using AI in their job search;
- Crafting compelling resumes and LinkedIn profiles that will rise in applicant tracking systems and in LinkedIn recruiter;
- Networking to obtain referrals;
- Developing an effective elevator pitch;
- Surviving AI driven screening interviews; and
- Acing in-person interviews.
