I watched your videos before an interview for a pharmacy technician position in August 2019 and I got the job and it’s been the best thing 💕 now I’m looking to work part time as a freelancer so I’m brushing up on my resume skills and you never fail to inspire me to be more attentive and focused

[@Penelope416]

Point 6 is very important. I tend to be extra critical of myself and keep wondering what I did wrong. Linda, it sounds like you're a big fan of the "power of the subconscious mind" and thought energy. Having the right perspective is important.

[@DavidJohnson-pd6tt]

Penelope416 you're human. It's just going to take some training in discipline. I as well have a tendency to do the same thing but we all will get over our shortcomings. We just need to realize our capabilities. Write down your flaws and work on them. Write down your strengths and learn how to use them. Take in as much positive information because when you fill your mind with positive things you will do positive things.That's a quote from Les Brown.

[@DavidJohnson-pd6tt]

Hey Linda just got a job offer today. I took it . I'm just going to take it one day at a time. I'm going keep your advice close to me mind and heart. Thanks again for your wonderful job tips. I will continue to watch your videos. And as for you Penelope416 I wish you the best.

[@Kanal7Indonesia]

Me too, I am very very confident that I am qualified (maybe over), yet still not interviews. I wonder what is wrong with me...

[@Earlofthearies.1982]

Start focusing on what can you do that's right.

[@Penelope416]

@@Earlofthearies.1982 This was over a year ago when I initially commented so I've gotten a job since then, but thanks for your advice.

[@LindaRaynier]

Usually I would provide advice on what you SHOULD be doing to increase your chances of getting hired. However, I noticed through my years of working with my 1:1 clients, that there are a lot of things that you should actually STOP doing. Check out the video and let me know your thoughts on the tips I have for you below! :)

[@SincerelyMaria]

I agree, there are so many little things that we should NOT be doing. Like how you mentioned not sending the same resume to each job posting an tweaking each a little bit. I've always done this and I know for a FACT that it has made a bid difference in getting call backs for interviews. Thats how I got my job at Stanford University! :) Thanks for the great advice btw, you at spot on!

[@phillihpful]

hi Linda, is it okay to reschedule initial phone interviews, instead of answering on the spot questions unprepared? will this not imply a negative impression from the recruiter? thanks.

[@mrs.reysolo2601]

The last point is so so valid! Having a positive mindset and believing in yourself is so so important ✨❤️

[@brianwise7544]

I can't agree more with you, sometimes applying and accepting a job you "don't really" want builds your resume and takes you a step closer to what you "really" want. You have to be strategic about how you navigate the labour world.

[@lisamarieGWI]

Hi there, that's a great point. What would you say is the most challenging obstacle for you when it comes to finding (or preparing) for a new job?

[@msj6324]

Exactly I am grateful you shared your experience I was told this the other day by Job Counselors and Job coaches and HR Recruiter say just apply here it is I did and it was temp I was in a role 17yrs got laid off and placing energy in a job I will not enjoy I want an career more to my story. I would like to connect with you Linda I will signed up on your insight of my experience.. Thank you for your time. ☺️

Thanks to ATS resume screeners, if your resume isn't a match literally no one will see it, and if you apply too much you'll be gray listed if not black listed, HR is fcuked!

[@praisemark5]

That's absolutely right, I think when you're unsure of the kind of job you want, you end up wasting energy everywhere

[@valeriapretty]

well this was very helpful Linda raynier right about now I really need to prioritize my decisions with applying at jobs that I'd really like to work in and make sure I'll stay in that position as long as possible or as much time as needed and don't end up miserable for applying at a job that I didn't really want it

[@mehmetylmaz758]

Here are the following things that I want to share with the rest. Number one tip says that we need to read job descriptions carefully and only send in your resume when you think you are a fit for the job. The problem is that nowadays every company lists their job vacancies like its a grocery list with various demands. After applying to a dozen companies, I feel like I can never comply with their requests. The second tip explains that we should avoid sending in the same resume to every company. I have been told to only have one resume and avoid in having multiple resumes or change it based off the job you want. In the end, all of the skills, work experience and education are the same. Recruiters are looking at your LinkedIn profile every time so you just can't tailor your resume to each job position you find online.

[@charchinn]

Ive noticed how many people really try to submit their resume to any job applied for and underestimate the importance of tweaking or shifting your resume for that specific job

[@ProfessorTanyaSpeaks]

So so true. And hiring managers can spot those generic resumes VERY easily. You must TAILOR your resume. There's NO other way.

[@silverokiror9763]

Thanks, Linda. Last point #6 really makes sense.

[@maryjoymacalipay3821]

Glad I came across to your video, but the sad reality in our country especially in our place is that there's a less opportunity to the job you want so that's why some people end up getting job that they don't like just to survive (have money).

[@realnaturalist9932]

I agree...some people look for the job they want and have the skill set to do but months go by without success and therefore in order to pay their bills and feed their families they apply for jobs that may not be of much interest (in the interim). They also continue to look for something they want in the background. Survival mode kicks in for many after savings get low and they need to be employed in order to survive.

This is an interesting topic, but what happens with our LinkedIn profile which is just one and with all the different CVs? How different should they really be? Thank you!!

[@lisamarieGWI]

Hi there, that's a great point. When it comes to prepping your LinkedIn, it definitely needs to be tailored for each position. Having a good foundation and "tweaking" it would be the most convenient way for you to ensure your profile matches the jobs you are applying for. I would be more than happy to perform a free LinkedIn profile audit for you to see where it currently stands. As a Career Strategist, I've helped dozens of professionals attract more Hiring Recruiters via LinkedIn :)

[@dantevega2115]

To add something to why you shouldn't apply to a job that you don't want, for the majority of people it will effect your work productivity. The last thing you want is job on your resume with a average or less than average review. This is especially true if you use it as a reference. Lets say you applied to a dream job and you nail the interview and this perspective employer calls that reference and they pick up. They say he was an average worker or worse an unproductive worker. What do you think your chances of getting that dream job will be?

[@colinwood897]

I've been applying for almost 3 years and I feel very defeated at his point. I graduated from CSULB with a Bachelors about two years ago, constantly fixed and tailored my resume to the jobs. Wrote convincing cover letters, networked with numerous people, and I still don't have a job. It's getting to the point where I think I will have to leave California to find a job. Is anyone else going through this?

I recommend having more than one copy on hand or saving your resume variations onto your computer. Employers are generally very good at staying organized and maintaining their candidate database. Hope this helps!

#6 is great. The reality is that 22 million in the USA alone will need to be filled once social distancing is lifted.

[@asadb1990]

@@ProfessorTanyaSpeaks that honestly sounds like too much work. my advice is lie lie and lie some more. don't tell them you were let go. don't bad mouth past employer. just simply interview like you are gainfully employed. it will do wonders for your confidence. and the trick to beat the ats is to copy past the job posting into your resume in white text. employer will never notice its there. and more chance of resume gets into a person's hands.
