One Big Mistake Super-Qualified Job Seekers Make
With years and years of experience, you’ve stacked up many impressive achievements. You’ve likely held a variety of roles and responsibilities, and solved diverse sets of problems. And that means you can market yourself in lots of different ways.
The flipside of that is the more you can share, the more confusing your message becomes. And the more confusing it becomes, the less effective it is.
As you move up the ladder, qualifications alone are not enough. More people have advanced degrees, as well as experience managing a team and overseeing large budgets. The best way to stand out is to hone your elevator pitch.
4 Ways To Use Social Media To Land Your Next Job
Admit it: You’re frustrated. After submitting application after application and never hearing back, you start to wonder if there’s something wrong with you.

What Is and Isn't Normal During Every Single Part of the Job Process
The job search process is an emotional rollercoaster. One second you’re up, the next you’re down, and the next you’re wondering why you ever got on this ride. But one thing that can make it a bit easier is knowing what’s normal (the coaster is supposed to go upside down) and what’s not (however the seat belts aren’t supposed to un-hook mid-ride).
While each step can be different based on the organization, there are some common yet-somewhat-frustrating milestones you’ll experience. It’s important to know the difference between those and the actual red flags that you shouldn’t take the job.
