1. “I have been applying for 100’s of positions and not getting any calls. What am I doing wrong?” 

Some job seekers conduct reactive job searches instead of a proactive job search. A reactive job search involves looking at job postings online and then quickly applying – aka “reacting.” A proactive job search involves moving in the opposite direction – networking, sending prospective  applications, cold calls, researching company websites, and identifying top employers in order to focus job search activities. In your experience, do you feel you have been proactive or reactive?  

  1. “Should I create a LinkedIn account and will it help me to find a job?”

LinkedIn can be a powerful tool to use in your job search. Users can research companies, people, interviewers, industries, recruiters, hidden job market opportunities, and more. More than 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to check and research candidates. A LinkedIn Profile Helps Build Trust,  is a professional validator, it shows the world you do indeed exist, and are not too good to be true. A well crafted LinkedIn profile can help clients be found by recruiters who are searching on industry keywords.
