This is a question I’ve seen posed a lot on LinkedIn and in articles during the Covid pandemic. When the effects of the virus reached the economy, many people lost their jobs and many companies put their hiring plans on hold.
However, while the circumstances of the pandemic economy are unique, the experience of applying to jobs and not hearing back is a problem that people have experienced, and will continue to experience, despite there being a pandemic.
I personally know how deflating it can be to experience this on the job market. So I am happy to be able to share some insight and tactics for overcoming this scenario from a career strategy and foresight perspective.
In this episode I’ll share:
What factors may be at play that are contributing to the “silence” you’re experiencing on the job marketHow you can adapt your job search strategy to increase your odds of hearing back from employers and landing an interviewHow to use your time in between employment to increase your career opportunitiesThen, I'm answering a listener question from Maggie about how people with “no” experience land jobs in fields or positions they’ve never worked.
