Did you know that 85% of jobs come from your network - not from submitting an application?
Who should you connect with? Start with this short list:
- Who do you like talking to
- Role model you have
- Someone who always has great advice
- Someone you want to be closer to
- Someone who is doing a great job at work or in their profession
You're probable already doing this subconsciously. Connecting with people you know, worked with, and in your social media network is the best way to secure good job opportunities.
How may people in your network know you are looking for a job right now? Have you taken the time this week to connect for job lead or shared your resume?
I've been at Jobcase Community Specialist for a little over 2 years now. I landed this job via a new acquaintance I met through a friend of a friend and within 2 weeks found a career opportunity I've been able to maintain for all this time.
Turns out, this company was right in my neighborhood and I had absolutely no idea. Sometimes, solutions are allot closer than you think but only present themselves when you make yourself more available to receive them.

If you've recently taken the time to revise your #resume and online Jobcase profile to have them looking spruced up and stunning - great work!
However, if you are finding that they don't portray you as a direct match for a particular role you are eyeing, don't be hesitant about modifying wording, swapping around keywords, and changing up your bullet points! Having multiple versions of your resume is a great thing to do.
Remember, it's not a tattoo - there is no such thing as a "permanent" resume or online profile. Think of them as living, breathing documents throughout the entirety of your job search and career life!
