Job hunting in the time of a rapidly changing world looks about the same as it did pre-COVID, just on an exponentially larger scale as millions more are now in the rat race. The arduous process begins with scouring the internet and various job posting sites to find positions that you believe align with your unique skill set, the positions where you know you could become an invaluable asset to the team, but this is only the beginning of the enduring process. We take the time to craft thoughtful cover letters tailored to each individual application and update our resumes with targeted keywords from the job posting that align with our capabilities and skill set in hopes that the algorithmic gods might smile down upon us and grant us that “golden ticket” out of application purgatory - because that’s where the applications go if you don’t know someone who knows someone who is willing to give you a shot. If it’s a larger company, especially, there is very little “human” to human resources anymore these days, at least for the first steps of attempting to secure an interview. Hours upon hours of labor poured into our attempts to secure a ticket to the next destination on our career journey - or in many cases, yet another “thrilling” entry level position that will likely undervalue and underpay us, even though we have more than 15 years of valuable experience in the business sector.
