Job Hunting: Exactly One Tip
I read a nice set of posts by a lovely UK recruiter with advice for job-hunters while on the hunt. Long story short: keep your sanity, be organized, methodical and thorough.
Although she is correct and all of her tips are useful, I would boil things down even further. The following appears to get the best results, which is the whole point of job-hunting.
1. An excellent, achievement-centered LinkedIn profile is by far the most important tool for job hunting. Here are some links to get you started. Be sure to include all the important key words (not buzzwords) so the searches can find you.
I threw out numbers 2 and 3. They are obvious.
Jobs lined up this way, where the employer goes to the effort of finding you, have a far higher chance of closing (yielding a job offer) than sending your resume out to tons of ATS black holes.
