My #jobsearch #tip4day: there is a performative element in #interviewing. For peak performance: ✔ Practice ✔ Get rest ✔ Hydrate Do those things, and you will set yourself up for optimal performance.

My #resume #tip4ay: you never know the level of your competition. So be absolutely certain that your #résumé acquits itself with honor in any comparison. Make it your highlight reel, give it sizzle.

My #jobsearch #tip4day: I don't know who needs to hear this, but while your #résumé is a marketing document, your application is a legal document. Do 𝗻𝗼𝘁 lie on it. Please.

My #resume #tip4day: as more employers move to hybrid or fully onsite... Keep your #résumé online via Google Drive, OneDrive, etc. Remember, luck is the meeting of preparation & opportunity. Make your own luck!

My #jobsearch #tip4day: build your personal brand from your STAR stories. That's where you shine, best leverage your strengths, and achieve mighty things. You already are that person. Now, you just gotta tell everyone else.

My #resume #tip4day: for the vast majority of job seekers, the notion of the maximum page limit is an artifact of the hardcopy days. 90%+ of the time it's read on a screen. Welcome to the 21st century!

My #LinkedIn #tip4day: as we grow, so too do our interests,, priorities, and goals. This is why it's helpful to audit your profile quarterly: to ensure it remains on-message and aligned with your goals today, not when you first created it.

My #jobsearch #tip4day: you need to #interview them as much as they interview you. Are they: ✔ People you *want* to work with? ✔ A team you could see yourself being part of? ✔ Leading teams in a way that works for you? Ask questions!

My #resume #tip4day: this is being read on screens many more times than in hardcopy. Use sans serif fonts & hyperlinks.

My #LinkedIn #tip4day: your #personalbranding on LinkedIn is made up of your... ➊ Name ➋ Profile photo ➌ Headline ➍ About ➎ Your activity Of these, 5 is the impression you will leave with people. Be sure you leave the one that you want.

My #jobsearch #tip4day: your #interview is scheduled with a start time and end time. That is the maximum time your interviewer(s) has available to talk with you. Be sure you are expending it wisely: be laser-focused on your message.

My #resume #tip4day: want to know a secret about the people who read them? They often aren't reading: they're scanning. Know who reads it read for word? In all but is very, very, very cases: just you. Use bold/italics sparingly for impact.

My #LinkedIn #tip4day: when I am not certain about accepting an invitation to connect, I ask why they did so. Here's how you can too: ✔ Go here: linkedin.com/mynetwork/invit… ✔ Next to the name, click on Message ✔ Ask your question ✔ No answer after 7 days? Ignore

My #jobsearch #tip4day: so you got the offer, congratulations! But remember: ➢ Get it in writing ➢ Time your start date so you complete pre-employment before you giving formal notice ➢ When you do, be gracious, offers have been rescinded

My #resume #tip4day: really want to call, email, or text you after reading it? Make the reasons they should super clear. Most readers lack the time to hunt for reasons to #interview you: your competition isn't. They're getting those calls.

My #jobsearch #tip4day: I get that you want to know if X = you're getting the offer. But in any competently-run employer, literally nothing means this... Except for someone explicitly offering you the job. Nothing.

My #resume #tip4day: beware didacticism in #résumé advice. When people say: Always X? ❌ Never Y ❌ Just about everything has corner cases & odds are you if haven't found one, you haven't looked hard enough.

My #jobsearch #tip4day: want to make scheduling your #interview easier? Set up a @Calendly account, add the link to your email, and share it when invited to an interview. *Much* faster.

My #resume #tip4day: just FYI, ever notice how a lot of people treat their profiles like a #résumé? And that there's 930M+ members there? Search your job title on LinkedIn, see how others are representing their skills & experience.
