Don't Make These Mistakes! (Ep 236)

Episode 236 - Common Mistakes Executives Make on Their Resumes, Job Interviews, and when Networking
Navigating career transition, even for the most experienced professionals, can be daunting. The path to a new job can take longer than anticipated, and sometimes this happens due to missteps professionals make that occur from lack of experience in job search, networking, and the recruitment process.
In this episode of The Job Hunting Podcast, we address several mistakes often made by professionals looking for work. Some are subtle, and others are more conspicuous.
Your journey to securing a new role doesn't need to be perfect or flawless. I just believe it can be well-considered and well-articulated by reflection, planning, and strategy. Knowing how to speak about your past, understand your present, and navigate your future with a strategy that aligns with your goals shows a sophisticated approach to your aspirations and can provide you with a competitive edge.
So, please listen to this episode so you, too, can avoid these common mistakes, and your path to the next role will be more straightforward.
