Our mission is to bridge the gap between talented individuals and hiring managers and help others build professional relationships I have so much gratitude to for all the support I received.

    5 tips to revamp your job search✨ 1️⃣while applying to jobs on LinkedIn filter by past 24 hours and 7 days! These jobs are more likely to ACTUALLY be hiring and interviewing applicants and you get an edge up my being the first person to apply 2️⃣Don’t avoid every cover letter! Yes I know cover letters can be a drag but some applications won’t let you submit without a cover letter so by skipping out you could miss interviews. Have a general template that you can tailor to the specifics of each job and company so you don’t have to spend hours working on it 3️⃣Boost the amount of applications you send. I had a client only send out 20 applications and was not getting enough traction, I compare this to walking on a treadmill and expecting to loose weight. In some respects it’s a numbers game, more applications = more interviews but of course give yourself time to recharge and reward yourself after dedicating time! 4️⃣ find someone trusted to practice tough interview questions with like an experienced recruiter. If you don’t have an experienced recruiter in your network that can help continue to network OR it’s very likely you have a friend or family member that interviews others. Give them a call practice, practice, practice until you feel like a natural! This will have you prepared and ready 5️⃣ attend networking events! Meeting people in person will help you break down barriers and establish lasting relationships. Join me at my networking event with We have a networking event with Career Connect & Co. & The Phoenix Club, Inc. 7/11 please message for details and follow us for more tips! #jobsearchstrategies #hiringtips #careergrowth

    Since becoming a top voice I’m sharing how to use LinkedIn to get a job - or in my case, the majority of my jobs! 1️⃣ Follow people who have the type of job you want. Support their work, get to know them, and see if your “dream job” is all it’s cracked up to be, or if you realize you only like specific aspects of it. Who knows, these people could become the FRIENDS you someday work closely with. :) 2️⃣ Talk about your experiences as LinkedIn posts. Look up interview questions your favorite companies ask by checking their interview section on Glassdoor. If you have an impactful story where you grew or helped someone else grow, consider writing a linkedin post about it here! Not only are your problem solving situations interesting for the Linkedin community to read, but the post could be read by team members at your future company who admire the way you solve things! 3️⃣ Share your passions! My side passion is content creation😊You never know when your favorite clothing company will connect with you because they like your tshirt design, or your favorite product company will ask you to join product marketing because they like how you talk about their product! This happened to me once, Taylor Swift (or someone on her team) responded to my comment on one of her posts! 4️⃣ Comment on the posts of the companies you’re interested in. Talk about why you like their products! Often times company recruiters will look at the profiles of the people who share support on corporate linkedin pages. Many companies don’t get a lot of likes or comments on their social media posts, so you can REALLY stand out in this way! These are just a few of my favorite tips to get your dream companies to notice you and want you to join their efforts What would you add to my list?! 👇 PS. Join LinkedIn lives to get engaged with your community and attend networking events to build relationships in person- my next networking event with Career Connect & Co. and The Phoenix Club, Inc. is on July 11th at Prime Catch in Manhattan, send a message to get an invite 🥩🍷🎉

    While preparing for today’s live video I came across this quote by Denzel Washington that really resonated with me: "If you sit at the barber shop long enough, you are bound to get a haircut." 🤔 To me, this quote speaks volumes about the importance of taking action and putting yourself out there. It's a reminder that if we want to achieve our goals and see results, we can't just wait for success to come knocking on our door. We have to actively pursue it. Dream big, embrace failure, and never be afraid to try again. 🌟 Success shouldn't be left up to chance. By stepping out of our comfort zones and pushing ourselves to improve, we open doors to new opportunities and growth. Networking can be intimidating, but don't let those nerves hold you back. The more you put yourself out there, the more chances you have to connect with others and expand your horizons. 🤝 And guess what? You're in luck! 🎉 Today, at 6:00 pm, we're hosting a live video session with Career Connect & Co. and Lindsey Sherwin M.Sc., RDT, EXAT where you can learn all the skills you need to network like a pro. Make sure to tune in and level up your networking game! Remember, success is within your reach. So let's go out there, make connections, and turn our dreams into reality! RSVP here https://lnkd.in/gb5Rc7tB turn up the volume and check out our video! Tune in 6 pm EST! #Networkingtips #jobsearchstrategies #recruiterlife
