You’ve been busting your butt at your job for a few years now.

Maybe you’re doing more than what is asked of you, tackling projects that should really fall within someone else's job description. You’re the first one in the office (or signed in) and the last one out. But you haven’t received a promotion yet, much less a pat on the back for the job you’re doing.

The word ‘resume’ may make you involuntarily sigh. It’s true! Resumes can be a snooze-fest sometimes.

Throughout my career, I’ve probably read hundreds - if not thousands - of them. And I’ve found myself yawning more times than I can count. But here’s the deal - a resume is much more than just a list that shows off where you went to school and what jobs you’ve held in the past. A properly written and formatted resume makes all the difference in scoring your dream position. It’s a digital handshake that should make the reader interested in meeting you for an interview. Without a good resume, you can kiss that corner office (or dreamy remote position) goodbye!

Networking is everything when it comes to scoring a position with your dream company.

The right person can help you get your foot in the door for an interview or at the very least provide you with critical feedback on how you stack up against others in your industry.

You did it!

You got the job interview and now, you’re one step closer to securing the position you’ve had your eyes on for a while. No more refreshing your inbox or checking your spam folder multiple times a day to see if that hiring manager finally got back to you. But now that you’ve snagged the interview, the real work has just begun.

You’re in the market for a new job! That means it’s time to update your resume or LinkedIn page. You’re probably thinking about which profile picture to use or how you can reformat your resume to keep it to one page, right?

Your job search has been a long and uphill road. It seems like just when you take a step through the door, it gets shut in your face after your interview. So why is it so hard for you to get hired?

There are 5 things you could be doing that are holding you back! The good news is that - with some quick changes - you could be on a road to getting hired in no time. Here’s what you should think about before hitting ‘submit’ again.

The best part about working with a recruiter is that you ultimately have the same goal - finding the right job with the right employer.

A match where both sides win. This is how recruiters get paid and how you get hired.

Finding a job is similar to dating.

It’s overwhelming and a little exhausting, yet exciting. You join a few websites, change your status on social media, and tell your friends you’re available so they keep an eye out for the perfect match. When you find a potential connection, you pick a meeting date and location and make sure to dress up so you make a good first impression.

Summer is a time to refresh - your wardrobe and your goals. Think about the summer as a time of great change. You refreshed your wardrobe by swapping your winter sweaters and boots for sandals and bathing suits. Now, it’s time to refresh both your personal and career goals for the season.

You can see the sunshine from your windows and can hear the kids playing outside at a nearby park. You feel guilty that you’re spending the entire day inside, but you still have to work. So how can you stay productive during the summer? Balance.

You have been at your current position for a while now. You’ve eagerly taken on new clients and responsibilities and have all of the KPIs to show for it. You have the inside scoop (or can see the numbers up front) that your company is in good financial health. You’re up for a performance review and you just know you are going to kill it. Or maybe you’ve picked up some new skills along the way and are ready to expand your offering.

While landing that perfect position is such an exciting feeling, the job search before you get there can be extremely anxiety-inducing. Maybe you’ve sat in so many uncomfortable interviews you’ve run out of clever things to say. Or, maybe you’ve received some rejection letters and your motivation is wavering.

Finding your dream job can be an adrenaline-boosting experience. You’ve been searching for months and you finally found what you think is the perfect fit. It boasts a flexible work schedule and room to grow and you just cannot wait to get started.

Positive thinking, especially when it comes to your career or personal development, is absolutely necessary for growth. A positive attitude has serious benefits for your overall well-being, helps you make better decisions, and allows you to stay resilient in times of stress or difficult challenges.

From the moment a person decides to make a change in their life or their career, despite the odds and challenges, they begin their journey of pivoting. My job? Helping you get grounded with intention so that you can find the purpose that drives your desire to pivot.

Staying motivated, though, is hard enough even when the whole world isn’t in shambles.

Because aren’t we all looking for that next level for ourselves?

People are reevaluating priorities. Like really reevaluating them.
