Job Search Strategies for 2015 Increase Your Job Search Success

Job Search Strategies for 2015 â€" Increase Your Job Search Success Conducting a job search in 2015 will be a lot different than it was just a few short years ago.   There are new resume trends to consider, applicant tracking systems to navigate, and the ever challenging economy to factor in.     Having a solid resume is just one step to completing a successful and modern job search.   A resume (and cover letter) are tools that must be partnered with effective job search strategies to increase their success.   Many of my clients believe that by investing in a good resume they will be automatically awarded a good job.   Unfortunately this isn’t always true.  Although an exceptional resume is extremely important, there are many different factors that need to be considered, planned, and executed to land an ideal job in less time.   To start, see if you relate to any of the following.  Are you like so many professionals who   Apply for jobs using Internet job boards with little or no results? Think the hidden job market is just networking? At the  senior-professional level, dont know how to market yourself past talking to recruiters and a few networking contacts? Perhaps you have never had to look for a job before? Are ready to leap into a higher position and/or a higher compensation but don’t know how to get the right leverage to do it? Don’t have time to spend hours and hours each day in a job search? Don’t really know how to use LinkedIn in your job search or how to set up and optimize your LinkedIn profile? Are frustrated when it comes quantifying your achievements, communicating your value and branding yourself? Have anxiety about potential barriers to your ideal job including age, job history, lack of academic credentials or qualifications?  Feel you are a good interviewer, but arent getting callbacks after the first interview?
