Think of a sport you haven’t played before–maybe rugby or tennis or even basketball. If someone challenged you to a game, how well would you do if you showed up cold–no coaching, no practice, and no knowledge of the rules? You’d have a good chance of losing, right?
Job searching is a lot like that. It is a game (a numbers game) and it takes specific skills that most people either don’t have or don’t use very often so they’re rusty. The more you learn and the more you prepare, the more successful you’ll be.
On top of that, each job interview is different because it’s with a different company. Each interview takes its own prep work in terms of creating a 30-60-90-day plan and planning your answers to interview questions for that company and that job.
Career Confidential exists to help you prepare and win in the job search.
We have hundreds of informative blog articles on resume writing, LinkedIn profiles, interview questions, and more; and we give away free job search materials to help you prepare and get the job you want. Take advantage of them.
I even hold free training webinars every week to help you learn how to get interviews and prepare for them (no charge). I invite you to attend one or all of these free online training classes that will set you up for success.
See what’s available in Career Confidential’s Free Training Webinars this week.
Best of luck!
