In this life there are no guarantees. And your CV framework definitely plays a huge part in how information is filtered (that and the number you put into ‘desired salary’ I’m not saying do things exactly how I do it, I’m saying: 1. Diversify your sources. These job platforms have produced the best results for me: @LinkedIn UK @LinkedIn @Welcome to the Jungle @Jack & Jill 2. Decide a job criteria and a system that doesn’t destroy your mental health 3. Leave room for miracles and don’t count yourself out even when it gets hard! I’m in a portfolio career era, so that looks like exploring traditional jobs, self-employment and content creation, because why the heck not. But it does mean I only contend with the job market in waves, because it ain’t for the weak! As usual, hope this helps someone x #jobinterview #careeradvice #jobapplication #layoff #interview

These are the job platforms I use to get eight separate interview processes over eight weeks in this ghetto job market alongside a bang in CV. Number one is LinkedIn jobs, but with a caveat right up front. I set a specific criteria for jobs listed on LinkedIn because it's also a very quick way for your CV to end up in the abuse. So this is my criteria. Number one, posted in the last 24 hours. After that, bro, if I don't catch it early, I'm not even going to bother. Number two, if it says reposted, forget about it. Forget about it. Forget about the cup of tea. Principle number three, I think with LinkedIn easy apply, if you just want some happy hormones released, you know, you just want to boost the serotonin, then by all means click that easy apply button. But if you want to be serious about your future, just go directly onto the career's website and apply into their ATS system because honestly, I've been ghosted one too many times, I would rather go straight to the source. Platform number two, this is my OG. This one truly has my heart. Welcome to the jungle. Those who know, no, this used to be called Otta, OTTA. It was acquired, but the candidate experience was unchanged. Why I love this platform is because it favours the candidate experience. And your mental health on this job search is worth favoring. As long as the information is provided by the employer, it will give you a salary range. It will tell you how many days in the office, it will tell you what the benefits are. And then it will give you their own synopsis on the company that you've applied to work for. It will pull their glass door, it will pull their trust pilot. It's going to tell you the truth. Also in your profile, you can set your salary preferences and it will even tell you, hello, before you press submit on this salary preference, just so you know, women tend to downplay their value. So I'm going to need you to go back and make sure you have selected a salary worth selecting. And then you're like, okay, I'm sober of mind. Let me add 10k. I highly recommend it. Number three, there are a lot of new age AI recruitment tools. Jack and Jill is one of them, but I like it. You can talk to Jack by voice or you can type, Jack will build your profile. And then Jack will just be like send you your emails and it takes a lot of that mental baggage out of applying for jobs because it's long. Did you get it? As a user of all three, I have quite a lot of interview processes to show for it. How did those interviews end? Don't you worry about that. Okay, just remember, it's a two-way street. All right. Okay. All the best.
