Jess Get Hired Podcast - Episode 24 - Opportunity Overhaul with Career Coach, Matthew Warzel Opportunity is out there. What are you doing to go after it? Join me in a conversation with Matt Warzel, a certified resume writing expert and career coach. We talk about bouncing back after being laid off and the different struggles many job seekers are facing today. He shares a few tips to stand out from the crowd so you can take advantage of the different opportunities ahead of you. Finding opportunities isn’t about submitting resumes you find on a job board and waiting for recruiters or companies to contact you. A part of finding your next opportunity is about putting in some work. That includes: Networking with a purpose – start with the people you already know and then get out of your comfort zone and find people in the industry or occupation you are looking to get into. Join professional organizations. These are groups that can give you the inside track. Job Boards are not the end-all and be-all solution, but use it as a starting point. Find recruiters to partner with who can help you. Get a career coach to help you take a strategic approach and keep you motivated for your next career opportunity! Find a Recruiter that will be your new bestie - They will advocate for you if they know who you are and your capabilities! It takes a lot of time and patience and depending on the position you’re chasing, the experience you bring to the table, finding the right opportunity will take time, so you will need patience and resilience.
