My latest Memphis Daily News column is out, “Updating Your Strategy.” In it, I discuss the importance of bringing your job search up to speed with the times.
When it comes to job searching, one thing’s for sure. Times have changed. Over the past 20 years, the process for getting a job has been transformed. Most companies require you to apply online, and some even interview you via video chat.
This process can be one of the most maddening things job seekers experience, especially if they haven’t looked for a job for many years. It can be both discouraging and disheartening. I empathize that this process has become increasingly difficult and often inefficient.
Since you can’t change the process, what can you do to influence your results? The best place to start is by updating your strategy.
To get all my tips on updating your strategy, read my entire Memphis Daily News column here.
