Strategy for Job Searching in 2025
It is a most challenging time to be conducting a job search. Due to the current economy, unpredictable business climate and the impact of AI on jobs including increasingly white collar jobs many companies have 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 recent graduates competing for fewer openings.
In addition 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.
I help applicants develop a search strategy and educate them on critical tactics including:
- Identifying target industries and companies;
- Using AI in their job search;
- Crafting compelling resumes and LinkedIn profiles that will rise in applicant tracking systems and in LinkedIn recruiter;
- Networking in 2025;
- Developing an effective elevator pitch;
- Surviving AI driven screening interviews; and
- Acing in-person interviews.
