Do you feel like you are flitting around working on a lot of different things in your job search? Are you getting telephone interviews and on-site interviews? Are you confident that you are investing your time wisely in your job search to deliver the best results and find the right next step in your career in the shortest time possible?
Pilots have a flight plan; troops have a battle plan; New Product Development Teams have a Project Development Plan – but do you have a detailed, written Job Search Plan that outlines where you should be investing your time? You know you shouldn’t be investing most your time applying for on-line job postings, but at least doing so makes you feel like you are making progress. Once you apply on-line your application often disappears into the black hole of the Applicant Tracking System (ATS) or is immediately rejected based on their keyword matching system. This is maddening!!
