take the long way around to shorten your job search
DESCRIPTION
If you believe you need a new resume right away to turn your job search around, you might be right. You might need a new resume to start getting interviews, but will your resume get you the right interviews? If you’ve never explored your deep motivations for seeking a particular job function, job level, industry, company size, and more, you might get interviews, but they’ll be wrong for you. Thus, taking the longer, more exploratory, path to job search strategy might actually improve your chances for getting the right job, as opposed to just any job.TRANSCRIPT

Why Strategize About What theRight Job or Industry is for You?
• You build a resume – Very general OR– Based on your most recent role– Both strategies would result in
a great resume that reads well, is visually appealing, and has great keywords.
• You realize that your resume is targeted to a position you would never take.
• You blame your resume, but it’s really your strategy that is at issue.
