Whether you have been at a job for ages, or unemployed for some time, jumping back up into the job search game can be super nerve wracking. Take it from me, before being happily employed at Jobcase, I was at another place for almost 9 years. That was a good chunk of my career, the majority of it actually.

I grew up in that place, got to try new things, meet great people, but I was ready to spread my wings and do something new. This meant that I had to now worry about dusting off my old resume, updating it with what I’ve been up to, talking to people to see what’s out there. It was definitely scary and exhausting. The preparation phase alone felt like a lot of steps, let alone when I actually started applying, that felt like a part time job in itself.

If you are gearing up to start looking, check out this great article on how to Restart your job search. My favorite part of the article are the tips on the elevator pitch, because if you’re anything like me, you’re not a fan of talking about yourself.
