Getting a new job consistently ranks among the top of most people’s resolutions every year.
No matter where you are in your job search journey, here are some sure-shot strategies for landing the job you want in 2022:
Do research and zoom in on your goal for sector, company & role.
Update your resume, cover letter & LinkedIn profile targeted to these roles that you have identified.
Keep your options open to new possibilities. Be flexible.
Broaden your search beyond online applications, use networking, referrals, niche job portals, executive search consultants, etc.
Highlight your skills and how they translate to outcomes that potential employers will be interested in.
Upskill for specialized areas with talent shortages.
Find mentors in your domain and get acquainted with work expectations.
Network & tell people you’re job hunting. Nobody can help you if you don’t tell people.
Ask for introductions through alumni networks and other professional networks.
Connect & apply directly to the hiring manager of the targeted company rather than online applications.
Frame dedicated time for job search & applications and make a focused effort, rather than mass applying.
Finally, measure what’s working and adjust based on what’s working & what’s not.
